dr_broon Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 well she's off to the body shop tomorrow to get the spoiler fitted and get rid of some surface rust starting to come through on one of the rear doors. also gonna get a few scratches sorted out and a machine polish... she'll come back all shiny then I'll need to stick the DOHC Vtec stickers on (been going around without the passenger one for months since the scraping / van incident), and have to pull my finger out (and the bumper off) and get the headlight washer fitted that I got months ago.

dr_broon Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 so been looking into gear ratios a bit more and have found that the Acura Integra LS (special edition) has the longest 5th gear of all B series boxes - 0.714 instead of 0.848 that's in the s9b.Using the gear calculator it means that with the 4.78 final drive and the 5th gear from the ls, the revs would be 3400 at 71mph compared to 3700rpm on the ratios for the s9b box as standard... and the 4100rpm it'd be on the s9b with the 4.78 fd!!! that should mean no more trying to change up when I'm already in 5th... seriously considering it while the box is open.... 1"£££$££"!!

WilkesyMB6 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I have a spare s9b at the moment, and i want to get better acceleration and a longer 5th gear, so if you find out a cheap way to do this to the s9b as i want to keep the LSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 I've had a spy on a honda parts website in the US and it's about $130 (for main and countershaft gears) plus about $50 shipping...tempting like... 5th is too low at the minute and will only get worse with the fd.
