What should my rpms be at 70 mph?

SideWinderGX · 01-02-2008, 07:08 PM

if you have the same automatic tranny the turbo has...which i think you do (why dont i know that? im stupid. whatever) 65 mph is 2500 rpm on my A340E...3k should be closer to 80 than 70, but its close enough i guess.

well, i know for a fact the turbo and na motors have the same 4sp automatic. don't ask me about speed verses RPM but to me 3k rpm at 70mph sounds about right.

Hey guys thanks for the response. Seems like at 3k the engine is working hard at cruising speeds. This is my first supra and just want it to see if this was normal. Thanks again.

....thats because its na.

although, if you think its working *too* hard, i couldnt help you there. what do you mean by working hard though?

~3k for 80mph on a 5speed Turbo.
still, at 3k(

80mph ), my motor sounds are more pronounced than at 2500 rpm. "kinda" hums harder.
Also many cars I've driven change tone at 3k. not just the supra. (rx7, 300zx, etc)
Still, I like the sound of my modified 7mgte, Vband t4, & 3" exh pipes prolonged at 5k in 5th GEAR

amen to that man! haha. nothing better than that.

What I meant by working to hard at 3k rpm when traveling 70 mph is that the xmission should be doing most of the work. Maybe comparing a supra to a camry is not a fair comparisson. A camry cruises along highways speeds 70mph @ rpms of 2100 saves alot of gas.
