300 hours at redline..

[snwtoy]

Has anyone else seen the hyundai ad with the production engine in a lab at reline for over 300 hours?

Is it wrong to be impressed? Sure they feed it a constant diet of high octane fuel, clean oil, clean coolant etc.. but still... 300 hours!!

[strx7]

is there any load on it?

[narlystarly]

Yeah just saw that, im impressed, mainly because ive never seen a manufacturer (sp) do such an advert before. Go the mighty high and dry.

[evil_si]

yea but its just high rpm, it has no load on it,

[RomanV]

Exactly what I was thinking. If it's not loaded up, it probably doesnt count for much does it?

Also you'll notice that its redline is 6000rpm, it's hardly screaming its head off.

[andyztouring]

An engine continuously running is never going to wear out,most engine wear and tear happens when the engine is cold,or run out of oil and/or coolant and as everyone has said there is no load so its pretty much a pointless exercise.

yeh me and my mates had a mean lol at it

I have 4 of these engines for sale 2 fwd 2 rwd from test cars will be great for jet boats all alloy VVT nice copys of Nissan's VQ series

[no_8wire]

Its not that impressive as has been said...
I mean engine failures from oil starvation, over heating or detonation normally right?

And they have all those controlled so...meh

[deaf_rattle]

compressors are left on for months sometimes. im not surprised about the engine at all.
start up is what kills engines.

they did similar tests with the lexus v8 when they were doin the R&D

[RomanV]

It doesnt matter what people like us think... because we dont buy brand new cars.

It's the general non car oriented public which will be impressed by this ad, which I'd imagine has worked well.

Didn't Mazda do something like that with a rotary for some stupidly long time? Like months or something.....

[nzae86]

I'd like to see someone do it with a 20valve

[Adamal]

Toyota made the 20v fail after extended time at the redline as a failsafe. For if it were not for this, it would create a rip in the space-time continuum and eventually destroy the universe!

bwahahaha!
Think of the Space Time Cont.. err children

Are you guys sure? 300 Hours is a LOOONG time, even for no load.

How long do you think your engine would last if you set it to 6000rpm and just lef it?

[EssDub]

I've seen a 1981 Chaser sit on 6000rpm....for about 20 seconds

Detergent is not a recommended lubricant for engines

Its' ridiculous, and as RomanV said, to impress the non-car oriented public.

It wouldn't be very good advertising if it spat a rod after an hour or two, even if it did, they wouldn't show it. Its' neither here nor there, I would be more impressed by Hyundai announcing that they were reducing emissions, and coming up with alternative-fuel engines, not running a V6 for a couple of weeks, wasting thousands of litres of fuel, and producing several tonnes of carbon monoxide, just to attempt to prove that their engines are reliable!

Idiots.
