tboorn Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 So i know quite a few of us do it, i mean at higher engine RPM you get a higher amperage output from your alternator, so trying to keep the engine around 1500 rpm while parked, can make a serious difference. But my question is this, is it better on the engine (or is there even a difference) if you were to have it in neutral vs park? Here's where my question originates from, im not a guru on how an engine works or anything but i have some general knowledge, and i seem to remember when i was younger and learning to drive, i was told its not good to rev your engine while stopped, if the car is in park, something about the gears having some hold on them or something i dont really know, i just know i remember learning that and have believed it my whole life (before i got big into car audio and ever saw revving for that reason). But now that i see people everywhere revving while parked, i wonder how many are doing it while in park the whole time, or if any are in neutral with the e-brake on or something, and what effects it could have potentially? sorry for the long post just wanted to make sure i could convey my question properly.

SLYentist Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Neutral and park have essentially the same affect on drive gears: they're all disconnected. Wit autos, being in park engages the parking pawl, which is what people unfortunately use instead of the parking brake, that keeps the car from rolling away. In neutral, the drive gears are disengaged, and the parking pawl is not engaged, meaning the car can roll freely if the e-brake is not engaged. Revving in park and revving in neutral are essentially the same. Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Put it in gear and brake torque it, demo burnouts ftw! That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

SnowDrifter Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Neutral vs park doesn't matter. Either way there's no pressure engaging the clutch packs. The only difference is whether or not the parking pawl is locked ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
