Don't break your engine what the heck

The fuck were you driving? A rental Trabant?

>>17799483
I have never seen these signs.

What is the purpose of those signs anyway? Who am I hurting if I engine brake?

>>17799483
I thought they were only for trucks with jake brakes.
Anyway who else u turn on no u turn and left turn on red?

>>17799555
Noisy to delicate ears.

>>17799483
its for semi trucks retard. when they force air into the heads to slow down. it's called the jake brake AKA engine breaking.

This is only a thing due to the retards who take the muffler's off of trucks

>>17799555
your car

>>17799589


It's really fucking loud. The signs are usually near residential areas

>>17799589
they don't actually force air into the heads... air is inducted during the normal induction cycle, then the intake valve closes, cylinder moves upwards as per normal, then at roughly TDC (might vary between manufacturers) the exhaust valves open, releasing the compressed air, instead of allowing the compressed air to power the cylinder on the downstroke

tl;dr: jake brakes don't force air into the heads, they release compressed air before it can return energy to the cylinder

Is engine braking the same as downshifting?
Im just learning manual and everyones taught me to use the engine more than brakes.

>>17803177
Depending on the situation, you'd either downshift or just stay in gear.

For instance, I used to commute down a big hill that started right after an intersection. At the green light, I'd accelerate up into 3rd gear and then then let up on the gas, letting the engine hold me at speed down the hill.

>>17799555
I think it's mostly for big trucks, specifically when they jake brake.

>>17803177
When I was learning I constantly used the engine to brake because I thought I was cool. Now I never do, it not like the brakes are going to wear out or something.
