Syed Shah Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Does anybody know when the gearing on the supra ends at? If it helps, the 6 gear ratio is 0.794. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Kasir Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 6th is geared for 28.1 mph / 1000rpm. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Someone posted this to the other list once, and I kept a copy of it. Hope it's useful: -------------- '89 Supra Turbo 5sp Transmission: 5 speed MANUAL Gear ratios 1st: 3.25:1 4th: 1.00:1 2nd: 1.96:1 5th: 0.75:1 3rd: 1.31:1 Final drive ratio: 3.73:1 --------- '86.5 Supra NA 5sp Transmission: 5 speed MANUAL Gear ratios 1st: 3.29:1 4th: 1.00:1 2nd: 1.89:1 5th: 0.78:1 3rd: 1.28:1 Final drive ratio: 4.30:1 --------- '92 Supra turbo automatic Transmission: 4 speed AUTOMATIC Gear ratios 1st: 2.80:1 4th: 0.70:1 2nd: 1.53:1 3rd: 1.00:1 Final drive ratio: 3.73:1 --------- '93.5 Supra Turbo Automatic Transmission: 4 speed AUTOMATIC Gear ratios 1st: 2.80:1 4th: 0.71:1 2nd: 1.53:1 3rd: 1.00:1 Final drive ratio: 3.77:1 --------- '93.5 Supra Turbo 6sp Transmission: 6 speed MANUAL Gear ratios 1st: 3.83:1 4th: 1.31:1 2nd: 2.36:1 5th: 1.00:1 3rd: 1.69:1 6th: 0.79:1 Final drive ratio: 3.13:1 --------- '93.5 Supra NA automatic Transmission: 4 speed AUTOMATIC Gear ratios 1st: 2.80:1 4th: 0.71:1 2nd: 1.53:1 3rd: 1.00:1 Final drive ratio: 4.27:1 --------- '94 Supra NA 5sp Transmission: 5 speed MANUAL Gear ratios 1st: 3.29:1 4th: 1.00:1 2nd: 1.89:1 5th: 0.78:1 3rd: 1.28:1 Final drive ratio: 4.27:1 Mk3 NA 225/50/16 = 24.86" DIA = 1.036' R Mk4 NA 245/50/16 = 25.65" DIA = 1.069' R Mk3 T 225/50/16 = 24.86" DIA = 1.036' R Mk4 TT 255/40/17 = 25.03" DIA = 1.043' R Using these gear ratios and tire/wheel sizes you can calculate engine rpms at a given vehicle speed or speed at a given engine rpm. RPM MPH = 0.0739 * -------------------- RPM = MPH * Gear * Rear * Tire * 13.531 Gear * Rear * Tire For example a '92 Turbo Auto moving 80mph in top gear: RPM = MPH * Gear * Rear * Tire * 13.531 = 80.0 * 0.70 * 3.73 * 1.036 * 13.531 = 2928 rpms Another example a '95 TT 6 speed at 6500rpms in top gear: RPM MPH = 0.0739 * -------------------- Gear * Rear * Tire 6500 = 0.0739 * -------------------- 0.79 * 3.27 * 1.043 = 178.3 mph Same thing with a '93.5 TT 6 speed at 6500rpms in top gear: RPM MPH = 0.0739 * -------------------- Gear * Rear * Tire 6500 = 0.0739 * -------------------- 0.79 * 3.13 * 1.043 = 186.3 mph Remember this has nothing to do with having enough power to overcome the resistances at these speeds. These formulas merely show the relationship between vehicle speed and engine rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted August 6, 2001 Author Share Posted August 6, 2001 Thanks for the help. One more thing though: does this mean an auto has longer ratios, and so therefore can technically reach a higher top speed providing ample power is supplied?

Guest r34nel Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I know this is an old thread but with the auto having longer ratios does'nt that make it feel slower? theres alot of debates about auto vs manual and all that but surely an auto is slower in a given gear than a manual but maybe not that much different 0-60 due to it being able to acheive a higher speed in a lower gear if that makes sense? so id imagine an auto has less pull in each gear than a manual and feels slower but can do a similar acceleration time due to staying in lower gears, thing is im less concerned with drag racing and all that, so long as a car feels fast im happy but this 4 speed long gear ratio stuff with auto's annoys me as I can only drive an auto cos I naffed my leg up crashing a motorbike when i was 18! sorry for bringing up this subject which has been covered many times, but I wanted to add my piece!

SupraHuman Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 We ALL know that auto's rule,they are faster,looks better and has better colour options than your agricultural manual Supras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I would recommend you drive one of each, then let your arse dyno explain the differences to you But basically, the auto is yes longer geared but the way it uses revs and the torque converter allows it better use of the powerband + the gear changes are slicker.

Terminator Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 It is the combination of auto box and its accompanying diff that makes the auto such a great car. The auto box in the MKIV is still one of the smoothest auto boxes around. The changes are perfect, giving a driving experience that other manufactures only dream about. If top speed is not an issue, the auto diff on the back of a manual box makes the car much quicker. With my raised rev limit,(8500) I have a theoretical maximum speed of 212 with the auto diff and 245 with the manual. The big gain is in acceleration. I might put the manual diff on just to try a top speed run, but for now 212 is far more than I need. If I can get traction 0-60mph in sub 3.9 seconds is attainable with only 44kg of weight saving.

JamieP Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Thats odd, when i had a auto diff on my supra it topped out at about 170. Edit, just realised you have a much higher rev limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) An Auto diff will be going on my Track Supra because... 1. The ratio is better suited to most UK tracks 2. It weighs less than the Manual Diff Edited January 3, 2009 by Ryan.G (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 If you want to sell the Manual diff let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Jamie its the extra RPM that makes all the difference. I am thinking of pulling the motor to rebuild it, to enable even higher RPM. I know of one MKIV with an 11000 rpm limit, just think of the possibilities:blink::blink: I am keeping my manual diff for now as I want to try one top speed run just to see what it can do, but not until I have the suspension and geometry to cope.
