3L Hilux Highway RPM

Not fussed on what ratio's i have, its a farm/work ute.

Its a 96 3L fitted with turbo and intercooler on massive 31's :shock: built with a ton of bits that were lying around. Hence no idea if my gearing is stock.

I'm doing 2,800rpm on the highway at 100kph with the 31's. This seems a little high for me being that its a diesel. Does anyone have any idea as to stock RPM at 100kph.

My 3L 4Runner does 2900 at 110km/h approx. so i think this is pretty normal. On long trips, i really long for a 6th gear to be honest.

Sounds like 4.3's to me. (thats what mine had with a factory 2L) i was pulling 2800rpm @ 100 Kph .. swapped to 4.88's when the rear 4.3 got noisy and I am actually getting better ecomony .. On a full tank i am actually getting another 80kms (one extra round trip to work\home) about 1100 Kms between fills Vs 1000 out of 120 litres of diesal.

Oh and that is based on GPS figures not my now incorrect speedo figures.

It does sound about right for 4.3's and it wouldn't matter what engine was in the vehicle, it will still do the same rpm.

Understand that.

More just wanting to know if 2,800rpm is where it should be.

Cheers for the replys.

Mine sits at around 3000rpm @ 110km/h. :(

I swear my 4 roof spotties are like parachutes.

EDIT: I ride on massive 31's as well :P

Mine has 15s sunnys on it with rubbers that match the standard 16s and it sits on 2750rpm@100kph. Sounds like yours is ok to me.

Edit:any chance of getting some info/pictures of your intercooler setup as I am looking to do this to mine. ie what inter you used etc

cheers
