dr_broon Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 lots longer... longest 5th for b-series boxes. looking forward to not keep trying to change up when I'm already in 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Once it's in I'd be interested to see where the revs sit at motorway speed, could be worth considering as it will probably help loads on a long run with MPG!

dr_broon Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 This is what the m-factory gear calculator works it out as...http://www.teammfactory.com/gearcalcula ... on+1+%26+2The red lines are the standard S9 ratios and the blue are what I'll end up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 3300rpm at 70 if I read the graph right! That's spot on for what you'd expect from a normal motor, should make long distance drives a lot better! Hopefully won't be so tall to kill off the acceleration though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I don't mind dropping it down to 4th if I need a quick boost, and the rest of the gears should be nice and lively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 and if I just put the 4.7fd in and left 5th as it was it'd be 3900 at 70mph http://www.teammfactory.com/gearcalculator.php?kmh=0&tirewidth=195&tireprofile=55&wheelsize=15&tirediameter1=23.44&maxrpm1=8000&finaldrive1=4.26&gearratio1=3.23&gearratio2=1.9&gearratio3=1.36&gearratio4=1.034&gearratio5=0.848&gearratio6=0&trannytype=&tirewidth2=195&tireprofile2=55&wheelsize2=15&tirediameter2=23.44&maxrpm2=8000&finaldrive2=4.7&gearratioa=3.23&gearratiob=1.9&gearratioc=1.36&gearratiod=1.034&gearratioe=0.848&gearratiof=0&trannytype=&tranny=Calculate+Transmission+1+%26+2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
