aight i've been researching for hours now.. and i can't seem to get a straight answer.


1. I want to know an average of what mph to rpm (in 5th gear) the y1 and s1/j1 are doing (60mph 65mph 70mph 75mph 80mph)

2. I want to know how the y1 compares to s1/j1 and 90-93 ls transmissions.


If your gonna base your mph to rpm average on what other people have said, or on a big guess then please don't post! To all the fellow HT members with cable b16 transmissions, please help me out .

 

i just drove 500 miles at approx 5000rpms at 90mph jdm y1 on a b16

i know you dont want guesses but im posting that to remind myself about this post, its 3 in the morning but ill definitly test that out for you tomorrow and get solid numbers unless someone chimes in ahead of time... but thats a verrry close estimate

 

65 mph - 3700~3900 rpm, JDM S1 transmission

 

thanks guys.. keep me updated with wassup. i gotta replace my clutch soon so i'm trying to decide if i should put money into a b16 tranny or not.

 

if you ccan find one in good condition and you dont do tooo much highway def go for it

 

yeah thats the thing.. i do a lot of driving. if i was confident enough to crack open the tranny case i might just swap my ls 5th gear into a b16 tranny or a gsr tranny.

 

bump..

trying to figure out wassup so i can put a new clutch in before wed.

 

I thought that an ls tranny was a b16 tranny just different year?

An ls tranny is an ls tranny (long geared)... as for a b16 tranny being a b16 tranny (short geared). For 90-93 cable tranny's they had similar codes but different gearing. Honda just had to be complicated about it for cable trannys. =/

 

i have a j1 and 80 mph equals 5000 rpms, teetering on vtec lol it sux get that ls 5th put in! kinda sux too that jdm ecus cut off at about 112, and if u chip it u wont go much faster any ways cuz of the gearing

 

so what do u guys think the max speed of an ls tranny is? isnt there a simple program out there for multiple trannys to find rmps at certain speeds?
