Maybe I didn't make myself clear. Only engines with ECU will cut fuel to the engine when you are going down hill. Engine will not mati because your ignition is still in ON position. The spark plugs are still firing but there is no need for fuel as the engine has not mati yet because it is being driven by your gearbox.

If you are driving a car with ECU, here is a simple test you can do to. Rev your car on idle until 5000rpm. Let go of the throttle. As the RPM falls, there is actually no fuel going into the engine as the throttle body is closed and the rpm is driven by the spinning flywheel. Just as the RPM is about to drop to ZERO, the car engine suddenly shakes and RPM goes back up to 800-1000rpm (idling rpm). This is where the idling control valve takes over and pumps fuel into your engine to keep it alive.

IF you ever rev to 5000rpm and then turn off the engine, the RPM will not suddenly drop to zero, it will just fall like normal and if you turn on the engine (turn to postion ON (position 2), not ignition position (position 3)), the engine will come back to live again (if you can do it before the rpm drop to zero). You most probably won't understand what I'm talking about here. Some other would.. they might want to explain it better. What I'm trying to say is that your engine will not mati immediately when you turn off the fuel, as long as some else is turning the engine.

haha..dont have it but asking around how to change gear box?

so if we off the engine at 5k rpm, it will make pop sound rite? like the mat rempit always do, rev hi then off engine, on it again, got pop sound

juz need a knowledge, no nid a car rite?

U say no use fuel.
But it still need use fuel to make it alive. But it auto control from valve only.

I told the guy is "fuel consume still maintain around RPM 1100 rate"

Can try this

They got campro transmission final drive. But got server problem today...

Hahah.. the infamous carburator POP. This works only in carb engines as they don't have fuel injectors. Fuel is sucked into the engine by the vacuum, so they rev the engine and then turn off the ignition (no more spark from the sparkplug). Since the engine is still moving, it draws fuel into the combustion chamber from the carb and out into the enhaust. The moment you turn the igniton back on, the spark plugs fires and all the unburnt fuel explodes, giving you that POP sound macam gunshot.

Added on August 1, 2008, 4:27 pmCorrect. So when people ask if engine braking at high rpm is wasting fuel or not, the answer is NO. Remember, the original question was about whether then engine use fuel while doing engine braking. Once you hit idling rpm, it is no longer engine braking and fuel will be required to keep the engine alive.

so the pop sound only on carb? if efi no sound? dmn thts boring

but izzit harmful? damaged ur engine?

No report on City at 120kph? Is it true that IDSI runs 120 kph at below 2k rpm? I think someone local wrote that online somewhere.

Only carb. EFi ECU will not pump fuel once you turn off the ignition. No fuel will collect in the combustion chamber and exhaust. With such a big uncontrolled explosion in your engine and exhaust, what do you think? Harmful or not? I believe you can answer that question yourself.

Isnt the FC is on the very high side? 100% stop-go-stop-go driving? Or is it possible the Auto is not running at top gear, somethiong wrong with the torque converter? No comments from other Kancil 880 Auto users?

em maybe it is harmful i think

but i do it on my bike only, if damaged juz small cost only

so if lets say put the turbo in ur car, the rpm still the same like normal?

i do read in certain cars, turbo can reduce ur fc, does it mean running the car in lower rpm?

should be around 2800 rpm
if below 2k rpm, it's either the speedometer spoilt or he's going down a steep hill (but i doubt the city has that high a gearing)

my saga blm auto 110kmph at 3100k rpm

Most 4spd auto (with OD) version of the car vs 5spd manual version, the 4th gear auto rev is usually lower than 5th gear manual rev. It is simply just not a special thing about Persona - it's just a conventional situation.


If you didn't brake while N->D, the car will jerk a bit, or even some soft knocking sound can be heard. This happen on other cars as well. I suppose there is some electronic controling being done on the auto box when detected you've pressed on the brake.
eg. My guess are:
- Without the brake, the autobox will engage the gear with the TC (torque converter) 'tightened' or locked up.
- With the brake, the autobox will engage the gear with the TC in a more 'free play' mode.

Wira 1.6A XLI

110KM/H ~ 2.6k rpm

RPM? Meaning at the same speed the rpm must be the same since the gear ratio is the same. With turbocharging you should achive higher rpms than before without.

With turbo charging or forced induction the only difference is it will get you there much earlier. Nothing to do with RPMs.

Ah.. yes.. "It's not how fast you can go but how quickly you can go fast" - quoted by Sleepwalker 1st August 2008 6:11pm... hahahahhaa..

tonight how?


my car is 110km/h at 3100 rpm

2.5k rpm
