How many RPMs should a car going 80 be at on a 2001 Honda civic?
The answer in truth depends on engine/transmission combination, and be different for automatic transmission.
If the transmission were actually geared for maximum speed, and you know what the maximum speed, then engine should be exactly at redline at maximum speed and then you could figure the ratio
80 / maximum speed = rpm at 80mph / rpm at redline
If I take a guess top speed = 120 mph, and top RPM = 6000
Then at 80 mph = 2/3 of top speed RPMs should be 4000 for a "max performance" trans setup.
If transmission is geared more for economy which would be the more typical situation, then RPMs are a bit lower say in the 3000-3500 range.
Wow, seriously? You FAILED to mention numerous critical details - what engine? Transmission? Tire size? Etc… You lose. Try again!
- What is the maximum speed my car and cruise at in terms of rpms for an indefinite period of time without risking problems? My car is a 2003 Honda Element with 4wd automatic. The car has 160 hp with 161 ft lbs of torque. It redlines at 6500 rpms. At want maximum RPM can this car sit at and still last me 300,000 to 400,000 miles? Can it cruise 4,000 rpms with no problems and still last me up to 300,000 - 400,000 miles or chances are it won't and it would overheat?
- My 1997 Honda Civic Ex idles between 1500 and 2000 rpms? My car is a manual and it is always between 1500-2000 rpms when I put the car in neutral, I could be driving it for an hour and it would still be idling between 1500 and 2000. What is the reason for this and how much would it cost to fix?
- Accidentally reving 2017 Honda Civic Si to 7 rpms? Ok so I've accidentally reved my Si to 7 rpms twice in the past day while coasting our of gear. Would that have done damage to my engine?
- What is the maximum cruising speed my car can sustain in RPMS for a 9 hour road trip on the Autobahn? The car is a 2003 Honda Element. It is an awesome model and it has 160 hp I believe. It is a 2.4l KA24 engine that is used most of the other Honda car models such as the 4 cylinder Accord. The car redlines at 6500 rpms. How many rpms can this car comfortably cruise at the maximum without risking engine damage and a rapid decrease of its lifespan?
