icon5.gif  Over-reving when downshifting. Tue, 01 April 2003 11:04 Go to next message
Wondering what the consquences of over-reving an engine when downshifting.

Scenario:
Doin redline in 3rd gear at about 7000rpm
Accidently shifting into 2nd gear istead of 4th gear.
Gear goes straight in. Car jolts.
RPM's are ? 10,000rpm for about 1-2secs.
Shifted immediately into 4th.

Outcome:
Everything seems ok.
in terms of power.
Cant notice any strange noises.

Possible Outcomes:
????? Block damage
????? Head damage
????? Bearings

Yes i know its a silly thing to do, but momentarily lost concetration.

It normally causes a compression lockup which could smash the spigot bearing and in turn damage the rear seal!
Trust me I did this Very Happy

I did something similiar, actually it was hitting 11,000rpm with a stuck throttle with the rev limiter disabled... All seemed fine for a while, but it had stretched the rod bolts and they snapped a couple of weeks later, 600km from home Sad

Needless to say, that engine never went again!

That was on a turbo'd 4agze

I think i'll consider myself lucky.
The motor turns over fine.
Dont think i lost any rods out the side of the block. Razz
A mate helped me work out by using the gear ratio that i would of been doin 9000-10000rpm in 2nd for about 1-2 seconds.
BTW gearbox seems fine too.

So that compression lockup u talk about is that BIG jolt i experienced. Rite? Rolling Eyes

If it was a compression lock up, you would have heard the rear tyres lock. Your engine and drivetrain should be alright, however racecars are always damaging parts due to over-revving when downshifting, and theirs are a lot stronger than standard road cars.

Drive it and if something lets go in the next couple of months you will know why.

So I guess the stocker has started to complain. That didn't last long Evil or Very Mad

I am going to try one more centre swap. The next one will be the Hilux I think.
