I just got a GS-R motor in my 92 Hatch, is it normal for it to run at 4000-4500 RPM on the freeway? help please..thanx

 

Yeap... seems about right in that area....

 

4100rpms with 15's. trust me i drove 700 miles in the past week at 4krpm, and its on an ls, at least you have an extra 1000 rpms

 

Yup, totally normal.

 

do you have a b16 tranny?

my rpms are about that high, but i have a jdm b16 tranny, not a gsr. when i had a gsr, i was around 3400 rpms or so.

 

no everytthing is stock going at 80 MPH and my RPM at 4000 - 4500 is kinda weird for me...not used to it yet...before in my D series i was going at 80 MPH it was at 3500 i think..

 

Get used to it, my bros GSR b17a does the same thing.

sounds perfectly normal. tight gearing will do that.

at 80 I sit around 4100 rpm.

 

It's no fun tell you hit 6000 anyway.

 

yea.. that sounds about right.. my ls tranny im at 3200 at 60.. 80 im close to 4500

 

i have a b16a and mine runs at 4000 when im going 75mph.

 

yeah highway gas sucks for a ls with b16 tranny

 

yes thats normal. I have a LS with a b16 tranny and on the freeway my rmp reaches 4000-4500. At first i was wondering why it was so high then i later contact the guy where i bought the motor from and he told me it has a b16 tranny not a LS.

 

yes thats is normal

 

completely normal, my gsr tranny with 215/35/18's runs 4500rpm in 5th at 85

4000rpm in 5th at 80mph

 

At that speed...IT DRINKS GAS...swaps suck...lol...thats why i had to buy a daily driver...need to save on gas...

Just wait until 4400 RPM when VTEC engages - you want to talk about a hit in fuel economy . . .

 

i have a JDM GSR...Vtec goes from 4400 to 8400...believe me i know...

 

vtec wont engage when youre cruising

I thought it engage at half throttle? but yea its normal on a B16 tranny its even higher at that mph........

NOt really from what I've been told is that the ecu is programmed to run lean while your cruisin like that... I get an average of 30 mgp on my b16 in my civic and I do hit the vTEc!!! quite often

 

i dont think it works if you part throttle the car (crusing ).... so crusing in vac = no vtecH...why would you want to cruise in vtec anyways?

 

yeah why would you..thats dumb...and there is no way my car gets 30mpg...sorry to let ya down...but i go through super like water...it sucks...cant wait to see how it is when i boost...lol...im sure ill love it...(sarcasm)
