If manual override is used, the engine may go past redline for a brief amount of time before the ECU will auto-upshift. Most Electronic Control Units (ECUs) of automatic transmission cars will upshift before the engine hits the redline even with maximum acceleration (The ECU in a sports car's automatic transmission will allow the engine to go nearer the redline or hit the redline before upshifting). This device is known as a rev limiter and is usually set to an RPM value at redline or a few hundred RPM above. Most modern cars have computer systems that prevent the engine from straying too far into the redline by cutting fuel flow to the fuel injectors/ carburetor or by disabling the ignition system until the engine drops to a safer operating speed. Straying into this area usually does not mean instant engine failure, but may increase the chances of damaging the engine. Operating an engine in this area is known as redlining. The actual term redline comes from the red bars that are displayed on tachometers in cars starting at the rpm that denotes the redline for the specific engine. Regulations in 2010 limit the maximum engine rotation to 18000 rpm, but during the 2006 season, engine speeds reached over 20000 rpm on the Cosworth engine. (Though due to regulations in Japanese motorcycle manufacturing this was later lowered to 18,000) Higher yet is the redline of a modern Formula One car. For example, the Honda CBR250RR has a redline of about 19,000 rpm. Motorcycle engines can have even higher redlines because of their comparatively lower reciprocating mass. For example, a Supercharged Buick 3800 V6 with a redline anywhere from 5500-6000 has a torque curve that peaks at 2600-3600rpms, yet the engine is a strong performer from takeoff all the way through to the redline. Lower redlines, however, do not necessarily mean low performance, as some skeptics sometimes assume. Overhead cam engines eliminate many of the components, and moving mass, used on OHV engines. After the valve opens, the valve spring does not have enough force to push the mass of the rocker arm, push rod, and lifter down on the cam before the next combustion cycle. At high speeds, the valve spring simply cannot keep the tappet or roller on the camshaft. One main reason OHV engines have lower redlines is valve float.
In contrast, some older OHV engines had redlines as low as 4800 rpm, mostly due to the engines being designed and built for low-end power and economy during the late 1960s all the way to the early 1990s. The Renesis in the current Mazda RX-8 has the highest redline of a production rotary-engine road car rated at 9400 rpm. The Ariel Atom 500 has the highest redline of a piston-engine road car rated at 10,600. Gasoline automobile engines typically will have a redline at around 5500 to 7000 rpm. Diesel engines normally have lower redlines than comparatively-sized gasoline engines, largely because of fuel-atomization limitations. Redlines vary anywhere from a few hundred revolutions per minute (rpm) (in very large engines such as those in trains and generators) to more than ten thousand rpm (in smaller, usually high-performance engines such as motorcycles and sports cars with pistonless rotary engines). Lighter components can increase the redline as well, since they have less inertia and decrease forces present in the engine. 4 Examples of production rotary enginesĮngines with short strokes can handle higher rpm because there is less force in reciprocating motion.3 Examples of performance automobile piston engines.Used on Limited-Edition cars from HotWheelsCollectors.
