tooquicktostop Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I was talking with a few members at Turbofit BBQ about the pod runs and how I should have not needed to use 5th Gear at all, I was at red line with around 300m to go in forth and had to grab 5th, but my terminal speed was only 107mph I have a 6speed conversion and was wondering if anyone had the speed to revs ratio for the standard set up and am i missing something ??

edge Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Maybe not a 6 speed diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Yes was thinking that was odd to and was wondering if the diff I got from Greg was not a 6 speed (it was in his old car I was told??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting knowhere near 130 in 4th, Greg sold me the diff from his car he told me, I know at the time he was breaking one for a member on here, perhaps it was from that car, I am feeling more certain that I dont have a 6 speed diff now I would have thought Dan might have noticed when mapping though ??

Homer Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I *Think* the UK diffs have a different ratio, do you know if your conversion came from a UK or Jspec car? Also, do you know for sure its an LSD diff? I'm sure you know how to test this Is the gearbox a V161? They have a lower ratio in the first 4 gears. Mine was on the stock limit at around 120mph (GPS, not speedo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Maybe a 6 speed NA drive train? Mine at 3000rpm is at 70mph (indicated) in 6th .......at 4000rpm its at approx 100mph (indicated) and will max out at approx 150-160 at redline....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
