Optimal rev range for 4y
Hi There,
What is the optimal rev range for a 4y when driving in town? With the previous owner changing the diff ratios, I struggle a bit with the revs and choosing the correct gears. Is 2000 rpm too slow (engine labors too much)?
Kind Regards,
Jaco

Re: Optimal rev range for 4y
I ussually go to 3000rpm before changing.
it just feels like it's to slow for the next gear before then.

Re: Optimal rev range for 4y
I have a standard 4y and I never change below 3000 and almost never above 3500.
I have also looked at fuel consumption and this gives me the best consumption of all the rev ranges I have tried. In town at 7 - 7.5km/l and when I go onto the open road at the same rev range(more towards 3500) I get 8.5 - 9km/l.

I usually drive my mouter by the rev counter alone and live by the 3000rpm rule of thumb.
The 4Y doesn't rev well like its cousin the 3Y
though EFi manages to sqeeze out 5000rpm will remarkable ease

Re: Optimal rev range for 4y
I see you guys are at it again
I don't pay too much attention to the rev counter with city driving, I also don't rev the motor unneccesarily. You can hear if its screaming or labouring. The 4y has fantastic low end torque which I use to my advantage and cruising along at 2200 rpm she's happy as hell. I get almost 8k/lit in town and between 10 and 11 k/lit on the open road, (that's on the odometer, and not GPS though).

I do believe the 4y has low torque range, at about 200rpm, but the peak speed range is about 5000rpm.
So when travelling down the N2, with all it's hills (the achillies heel for all 4y's), where does one try to maintain the reve range to keep up momentum?

Re: Optimal rev range for 4y
At 120 km/h I'm doing about 3000 rpm, and she's happy there too and does'nt slow too much on hills unless the load is heavy (like a kudu or two )

Anything above that takes it into a frequency less audible to the human ear :Geek:
Therefore in this "new territory" your mutter will climb all the hills that the N2 can throw at it without it sounding like you're killing it
(well the concept works for the Atlantis girls anyhow)

Re: Optimal rev range for 4y
I tend to agree to a certain extent here. I drive my 4Y at around 3000 rpm in town when changing gears, but do drive in 5th gear @ 2000rpm which gives me about 71 km/h on the clock which is nice as I am just touching the loud pedal........
When im on the open road I tend to keep between 3400 - 3700 rpm in 5th gear which works out to 120 - 130 km/h. Also when approaching a long uphill i downshift to 4th gear before climbing. I do not put my foot down flat when changing down, I only add a bit more power and climb most hills in and around Gauteng when driving on the open road.
I have found that this makes a comfortable drive and provides best worlds of power, economy and speed. When I overtake sometimes on the single lane roads upshift to the next gear at 5000 - 5500 rpm depending on the conditions.

Re: Optimal rev range for 4y
Obviously I have not been around here lately, but Rich I am disappointed in you. You did not even offer Jaco the magic gauge advice.
Jaco get yourself a vacuum gauge installed. If you study that a bit when driving you will learn a few new things about your engine like when t is OK to drive at low RPM and when it is better to shift back (labouring)
The vacuum gauge is a good indicator of the amount of air the engine sucks in (the more air usually means the more fuel) so if the needle shows vacuum dropping away it means you are using lots of fuel. By checking this out while driving you will soon see when your engine is happy at a certain RPM and or you are waisting.
Sometime driving on a highway with lots of continues ups and downs, like a part of the Krugersdorop highway or the N4 between Bronkies and "Swart"bank you may find it to be more economical to simply keep your van in 4th if the general traffic conditions or the load your are hauling don't allow you to drive in your vehicles sweet spot where she can maintain her speed uphills. If your gauge shows too much Zero vacuum conditions when going up shifting a gear back will create more vacuum (use less fuel)
This same principle of good vacuum will also show you if you change gears to early in town. If the vacuum falls away completely after shifting up you probably shifted too soon. You will see its not case of just RPMs anymore but a combination of what gear are you currently in vs the gradient of the surface vs the speed you are driving that will indicate when is a good time. Without even realising it you start to get to know your engine the longer you drive it and then you will realise that the place it feels right to change geras will also feel different as the condition I just described changes, but even still may people are often surprised if the get a vacuum gauge installed.
My neighbour Schalk will also tell you a vacuum gauge is most probably his most important tool he uses in races like the total economy run to determine if you are achieving good economy figures

Re: Optimal rev range for 4y
I had once considered a ford v6 since I thought them to be pretty tough motors. A couple people spoke me out of it at the time with arguments like vehicle resale value dropping with a non original motor ... like teething problems and that those motors had a known issue with welsh plugs leaking at the back of the heads ... dunno how true that was but it put me into re-think mode at the time. I'm still with the original 4Y and power on the open road is still an issue, but I've grown accustomed to it.

Re: Optimal rev range for 4y
I bought the Lux with the motor for dirt cheap probably for just the reasons you mentioned. If I had a 4Y I would never put a Ford V6 in today, there is too many other good options and replacing the 4Y with the Frod lump is sort of staying with 50's technology really. The engine is pretty competent but I never go above 110km/h on the open road anyway but it's nice in the rough to have extra torque easily available.

Jaco get yourself a vacuum gauge installed. If you study that a bit when driving you will learn a few new things about your engine like when t is OK to drive at low RPM and when it is better to shift back (labouring)
The vacuum gauge is a good indicator of the amount of air the engine sucks in (the more air usually means the more fuel) so if the needle shows vacuum dropping away it means you are using lots of fuel. By checking this out while driving you will soon see when your engine is happy at a certain RPM and or you are waisting.
My neighbour Schalk will also tell you a vacuum gauge is most probably his most important tool he uses in races like the total economy run to determine if you are achieving good economy figures
Dead right; a Vacuum Gauge is Tops
I was really astonished to see how early/late shifting, hills etc... effects the vacuum - taught me a thing or two :shifty:
I bought an Auto Gauge one, Equus are also very good; there's a whole thread on it somewhere in the Archives - Search for "Vacuum Gauge" if your interested enol

Yeah, I'd love a nice compact but reliable Toy V6 implant where I would'nt have to alter / change too many things ... preferably to bolt straight on to the existing box or bell.

Hoeveel plek is daar dan vir fan belts op die crank pulley .... is daar plek vir 'n aircon compressor? Brehoort 3 te wees ... alternator / power steering pump / aircon. Battery position moet dan ook omgeruil word, of nie? Daar sal nie meer plek wees vir n donaldson?

Ja jy ruil die batt na die anderkant toe, ek wil nog kyk of n mens nie verby daai een kan kom nie, dalk n ander manifold gebruik van die 1JZ.
Jy kan Dicktator, Go-Tech of Microtech gebruik en hulle is baie betroubaar, infact my bakkie start winter en somer baie beter as enige stock ECU dit kan doen en ek het die beheer oor dit, maar dit is persoonlikke smaak.
Neewat daar is niks aan die bedrading nie, my bakkie lyk of hy so uit die fabriek kom, eintlik sien jy maar min drade.
Die engin is so sterk soos n bees op alle rev ranges.

so the ones ex Japan with 100K Kms on are fetching high prices still, especially the one I'd love the VVti :Geek:

Re: Optimal rev range for 4y
Ja Rich, it sounds great ... not too many mods to do the transplant, but I'm a great believer in keeping things standard as far as possible, and right now it's a toss up between something like this or doing an EFI conversion on the 4y. There is also the fuel cosumption factor to consider .... crude oil is on the rise again and looks set to remain high.Dadz Toy BFI wrote:Mud Dog wrote:...............

Re: Optimal rev range for 4y
OK no jokes you look at +- 80K if you want to do a good and reliable job and have a vehicle that does it the first time right every time, I will check the slips when I get back and tell you to the T what it cost me for my conversion. It sounds like a lot but is worth every cent of it. IMO you should get you that Prado and keep the Lux wink:
