B16 tranny 6,600rpm on 5th @80MPH
 

Is that normal for B16's to be reving that high at that slow of speed??? Cause i drove my bros hatch yesterday and it has a b16A1, Y1 tranny?, LSD, and it guzzles gas like crazy.... I was guessing that it might have a shorter gear ratio thats why it is reving so high.??? would that have something to do with it. It accelerated real good... but it tops outs real fast.... so what does a normal tranny make your engine rev at on 5th and at 80mph?

5th gear at 80 mph is like 3600 rpms (accord)

Re:B16 tranny 6,600rpm on 5th @80MPH
 

my J1 tranny in my B16A1 at 80 MPH is 4500 RPMish

Re:B16 tranny 6,600rpm on 5th @80MPH
 

Damn that's crazy. :o My POS DX tranny sits at like 2500 at 80 in 5th. Do you have any times for that car?

not yet... going to the track this weekend..

Re:B16 tranny 6,600rpm on 5th @80MPH
 

It sounds like it has the 4.7 final drive gear.

Re:B16 tranny 6,600rpm on 5th @80MPH
 

No cable B series tranny had a 4.7 fd.... the 4.7 ring gear is too large to clear the Y1 case.

If you were in 5th, at 6600rpm, the speed should be close to 120mp/h.
From the sounds of it, looks like youre in 3rd when you think youre in 5th. Has the shift linkage been modified?

3rd @6.6k= 74mph
4th @6.6k= 95mph
5th @6.6k=120mph

yeah..... but 3rd and 5th feel way different... 5th almost feels like its in 4th??? its weird... i told him to get a new tranny its pissn oil like crazy and 3rd gear grinds to much.... what trannys are compatible with a B16A1??

Re:B16 tranny 6,600rpm on 5th @80MPH
 

lol, any cable b series tranny. the B18a1 tranny will work but it has long gears.

Re:B16 tranny 6,600rpm on 5th @80MPH

60 @ 4000rpm
80 @ 5000rpm
125 @ 7600pm
