NIKH25 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Mine is quite a change! I was thinking in particular of the uphill one you did with added giggle, crossover is mental on that one. I've been trying to replicate it on mine, not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I think 3rd is near 100mph and 4th is near 120 from memory.Out of interest, I've worked out that I'd need to change up from 4th at pretty much 110, and the effective ratio with the longer 5th and fd I've got is only a few rpms lower than the s9b 5th is.So you can get an idea of the rev drop.

dr_broon Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Generally 5th is fine - pretty much the same as before to be honest. The main thing I've noticed is i can do 60 at a touch under 3k, where before it was around 56 at 3k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Which one is that, autodynamics for the fd kit, or Acura parts online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Acura parts online mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thats not a massive difference on fith .. Mine sits at 3500 @ 65 .. But with the added acceleration lower down, yours would be a much better set up And lets be honest, how many times are we still hooning in 5th?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Just thinking would be easier buying an S80 and just swapping the 5th gear? Could get the box reconditioned without the car being off the road too so the idea being you'd know it was a good box by the time it finds its way into the car.
