engine brake

[arthas™]

mga bro na nagmamaneho jan, ask ko lang kung ano ang pros and cons ng engine brake. di ko kasi sya ginagawa. i put the gear to neutral then saka ako unti-unting preno. is that dangerous or advisable?

[SickSativa]

Cons - wala ako maisip

Pros - less stress sa brakes di mangangamoy preno mo
         some modern cars burn less gas when in engine brake
         pag naka engine brake may parang certain speed limit na maseset hindi lalagpas dun yung takbo mo para kung sakaling hindi ma lose break o hindi kumagat preno mo hindi ka parin ganun kabilis

Pros - all that previous poster said.
Cons - possible damage to your transmission.

use engine brake especially when going downhill

[bohica]

Use engine brake (downshifting) pag mabibitin ka sa overtake.  Downshift to 3 or 2 then pedal to the metal.

dude, you're referring to downshifting alone, although engine brake entails shifting to lower gears, but what you are referring to is not the one you mentioned

Marami-rami na rin na A/T meron manual selector so hindi ka mahihirapan mag-engine brake going downhill when using one.

Pwede rin, kapag gamay mo na yung shifting sequence, parang semi-automatic. Up-up-up-up... slowing down - down - down (let the revs catch) then brakes.

As a driver you should practice engine brake maneuver because this is the safest way to suddenly reduce speed during high speed driving or during downhill driving lalo na kung walang ABS ang sasakyan mo.

Problema lang dito mas madali mapudpod ang clutch disk mo.

good point

Makasingit na po, maibahagi ang aking konting nalalaman.

Engine brake - one component ng sasakyan para bumagal ang takbo o ma maintain mo ang iyong speed. Ito po ang reaction nya pag di mo tinapakan ang gas pedal, yung throttle manifold nya ay magsasara para sa hangin, ibig sabihin mawawala ang ratio ng air-fuel ratio compression. Safe po ito gamitin, although meron maliit na percentage ng wear sa iyong clutch, depende kasi sa bigat ng iyong sasakyan. either mechanical convention or automatic ang gamit mo ay equal performance lang ang mangyayari sa kanila...

Sa engine brake, di ka masyado gagamit ng brakes at maiiwasan mapudpod ang gulong.

PROS - magandang pakinggan kung nka aggressive cams and transmission auto kidding aside . . .engine break for me emergency use lang tipong sobrang bilis mo kailangan mo tlagang bumagal that's where you use engine break.

CON'S - Pag often use mas mabilis malalaspag engine mo. I'd rather replace a break pad instead masiraan ng mkina do the math . .kaya kung hindi naman kailangan mag engine break in high revs or speed just use the breaks . . .

so advisable ba yung ginagawa ko na naka neutral then brake lang ang tatapakan? ginagawa ko kasi yan, sabi ng ibang kakilala ko delikado raw yun.

Sa traffic(long stop), tama yung ginagawa mo. Kung hindi traffic, hindi ko alam sasabihin. Ginagawa ko lang kasi yung engine brake kapag kailangan. Kapag hindi, brake lang then shift down (kung kailangan) para makakuha ng power sa makina. Ito kasi yung turo sa akin.

Delikado yan lalo na pag mabilis ang takbo mo or downhill.
