I have a GX model (Canada), I think it's the SV-i in US, 2.0L manual transmission.
That base model doesnt have a tachometer, so I shift by the engine sound.. It works well but it constantly bugs me not to know at what RPM Im shifting during spirited driving / acceleration..

Can somebody tell me at what engine speed (KMH or MPH, I dont care) the redline (6500RPM) for heach speed is ?

i.e. First gear redlines @ 30mph, Second gear @ 40, etc..

Im looking to buy a OBD2 tachometer in the future but in the meantime I would apreciate this information !

Thanks

There is this device you just plug it in th ODB2 port and Bluetooth it to your phone. Then download this app and it will give you your rpm (tachometer). Very cheap option

I'm somewhat surprised to hear that a manual car has no tach...regardless of trim level.

I know about the bluetooth OBD2 adapter but I prefer waiting for a more "permanent" solution.

From a magazine's test report: automatic 2.0L

1st: 38mph
2nd: 66
3rd: 93
4th: 133

I got this obd2 hud from aliexpress. It's fun to use. I only use it at night though b/c I tossed the little screen so it's basically useless until dusk. I think some of them can be set to beep when you need to shift too. Similar to this (Actually this one is a lot cheaper than prices were when I got mine) ifound Updated 2nd Gen ActiSafety Multi Car HUD Vehicle mounted Head Up Display System OBD II Universal Overspeed Warning-in Alarm Systems & Security from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com

If i were going to rely on one for a tach I would definitely go wired. the wireless adapters + app on a tablet or phone have a bit of a lagg.

This does him no good as the auto tranny's have different gearing.

OP, I'll post some numbers for you shortly. Going out to dinner and I have to get on the highway so I can open her up a bit...

 

[StaFForD]

No tach on the manual tranny? Wow...

That's the cheapest, base model way of cutting the cost.

I did a few pulls on the way to dinner and got these numbers.

1st gear @ 4,500rpm = 25mph - @ 6,500rpm = 35mph
2nd gear @ 4,500rpm = 42mph - @ 6,500rpm = 62mph
3rd gear @ 4,500rpm = 65mph - @ 6,500rpm = 95mph
4th gear @ 6,000rpm = 110mph

At that point I was coming up on traffic rather quickly and had to cut the fun short of redline.

Bouncing off the rev limiter = win.

I just realized that I've yet to top out the MZ3... Does anyone know what the speed limiter is at?

I think its around 118.

Thanks for these numbers !

Im thinking of buying this:

OBD II Speedometer/ Tachometer Interface

With this I could install any tach I want without splicing or cuting any wires.

Not quite sure what this post is demonstrating? :stuart:

If you look to the bottom left of the radar detector you can see his Heads Up Display he was talking about in a previous post. It's the blue light on the windshield.

 

[chris_top_her]

oh I don't have a radar, I think that's the green light on the homelink mirror. funny thing is I noticed a display cell was out and when I looked at it the texas heat has pretty much destroyed the case LOL. I took the screen off and the other layer.. was gonna throw it away but it still works.

Using Scan Gauge to Monitor rpm, etc

I use a Scan Gauge to monitor rpm, coolant temp, mph and air inlet temp. Plugs into OBD port.
