no there not to tall im going to sell my s2k and just putting back to stock since it is just gears and a intake... I love the 4.77's it was perfect on the track on sat.

and for the record on 4.77 i am getting better gas milage in town and on the freeway...

AND the ONLY way you could be in vtec on the freeway is if you have a window switch on your vtec. there has to be factors other than rpms which is rpms,load,throttle position, oil pressure

bigmacnfries

you can get a vtec window switch? thatz mad tyte etc...

lol maybe its his clutch flywheel combo, i'd imagine it'd take quite a bit more effort to keep the rotational inertia in check on the hwy with a 11lb flywheel and have gears spinning.

dunno how you got HIGHER gas mileage on the same motor with shorter gears, but i don't have them and i don't plan on getting them. to me it would make sense if you got poorer gas mileage because its generally understood that the faster you can rev high the faster the revs will drop too so to keep the flywheel spinning and/or for city driving to get the car going you would be revving more than you would on the stock 4.1's but thats just my perception of it.

let me get those 4.77's

powerneedy

yes but if the motor is out of a the torque curve on a stock motor then its like lugging the motor which creates more heat and is outta efficiency range... my teg that had a blower on it at 12psi(lots of drag) with the 4.4 gearing in the 5 speed sat at 5200 at 80 i would get 30-32 mpg easy and i got the exact same in town... but the torque curve on that was way more broad then a na s2k...

all i know is i get 260-280 in town driving where as i used to get 220-240... and the car is so much more alive

haha maybe we'll just have to agree to disagree on this, doesn't make sense to me.

the bottom line is that its the same motor and the only change is gears. if you can hold at a given RPM in the correct gear lets say 75MPH@ 4500RPM which is the 4.77 setting i believe right? it doesn't make sense to me that 75MPH@3500 RPM would be less fuel efficient. And for highway cruising there's absolutely no way that the 4.77 would be in the same gear and be at a lower RPM.

dunno if this applies to OEM but im looking at my tune's AFR map and given the revs it steadily increases in AFR as RPM's increase as most would expect. The only range where it would be somewhat the same would be between 500-1250RPM's

i love me some 4.77's... whos got a set...

Chris.

iTrader: (4)

not me... yet

actually i think im gonna get the 4.56's still

joshualeet

Ordered new wheels that you all will hate :D

Chris.

chrome emotions?

joshualeet

Haha, no sir. Low offset, getting a custom powercoat, and I'll still be lower than anyone in this thread Hatehatehate

Chris.

pm me the information

I'm probably the only one in here who couldn't care less how low my S2000 is. I have to drive up on a block of wood as it is to get my floor jack underneath it.

S2KILLA

yeah same here... i pretty much have no finger gap... any lower and id be scraping everything and i think i would lose performance...

papa5murf

Maybe now since I've retired.

Chris.

iTrader: (4)

thats how i am now, i need to make some new 'ramps' to drive up on

S2KILLA

yeah i wanted to buy those "low ramps" but they discontinued them...

Chris.

iTrader: (4)

i had a set and i sold them

stupid

S2KILLA

yeha that was smart

SuzukaBlueAP2

DUMBASSSSSSSSSS

lol not really but i wanted to type that

SuzukaBlueAP2

oh and I can still get those ramps for about $80.

Chris.

iTrader: (4)

where?

yea he said hed give me $100 for them

brandonS2k

Well the car is being shipped. I will be without it for 7-14 days...how is everyone else this morning/afternoon

S2KILLA

haha
i just saw a set on ebay for like $50
looks like ill be buying them fairly soon

Chris.

iTrader: (4)

buy me a set
