My perdana V6 shows ~2800 revs at 110km/h.
To prove it:
Perdana v6 gear ratios:
Gear Ratio 1st = 2.846
2nd = 1.581
3rd = 1.000
4th = 0.685
Final Gear Ratio = 4.350
110km/h change to meters/minutes = (110 x 1000) / 60
= 1833.3 meters/mins
Speed reduction at Final gear = 0.685 x 4.35
= 2.979
Meaning 1 tire rotation equals 2.979 engine turns.
Tire circumference (stock perdana v6 205/55 R16) = 1.986 meters.
Tire revs per min = 1833 / 1.986
= 922.96 tire revolution / min
Engine revolution per min = 922.96 x 2.979
= 2749 revs / mins
So the calculated engine revs is close the reading on the rev meter (-51 revs).
But that was when my auto gearbox is ok.
Now using manual gearbox becoz my auto box kong already.
Manual tranny reads 3100 @ 110 km/h.
Not sure what are the gear ratios on the manual tranny.
anybody have the idea of finding out tire circumference for 205/45/R16?To prove it:
