vtec2011 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just asking what your MB's rev at, so I can get an rough idea on how my car should rev when cruising on the duel carriageway / motorway. Mine rev's at 3500rpm @ 70mph (gearbox is not original) and my car is a MB3. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_Mark Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I don't know about 70, but at 80 it sits just before 4.5k which is where I tend to keep it on the motorway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 With hybrid box, FD 4.43 and 5th 0.702 - 70mph is around 3100 rpm. Stock gearbox is around 2900rpm. Your 5th gear is too short, what MPG are you getting with it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Dunno, I never do 70 On the motorway I sit at 4.4k rpm, just out of VTEC Same here, although as vtec works on many things including throttle position, I sometimes cruise a little faster.
