I've been changing around 2500 in the MJ Triton (2.5L TD - 4D56T engine), but around 3000 on hills. Most recent tank I got a titch over 10L/100km (soooo much more efficient than the old 318 V8 in the Valiant).
She sits on 2900 at 100kph in 5th.
Pre boost - rev to 3500 and then get it into 4th/5th ASAP around town - and then redline everywhere in the bush to get over obsticles...
Now with Boost - pretty musch teh same but easiest on juice @100 on the nose.
If I have to overtake - then it's foot to the floor!!
I can vouch that this is correct for this mans driving style.
As for how I drove my old shorty (Nissan SWB GQ). Tacho used to see anything from 300-4500rpm in all gears but 5th. Being non turbo and 35's didnt really use 5th much on the HWY and 3rd was fine for doing 60 in town. But if I wanted to I used to take it all teh way to te governer. When i went to the beach think it almost lived above 3500rpm for about 5hours. Just cos I was playing (never overheated), that was trying to get over nearly every dune and racing along the beach.
usually use 1/3 of the pedal and find that it is sufficient to propel my non turbo diesel shorty MQ along with traffic fine. although in saying that on cool nights i don't mind revving her to the governer as it seems to love it!
I don't rev my 2H over 4200rpm since i put the supercharger on it.
It likes to be somewhere between 2000 and 4000rpm.
I like it to be somewhere between 3500 and 4200rpm cos it sounds tough.
