Here is Just some Gearing comparrisions for those That I see asking all the time Enjoy

(all figures are shown with a 8400 rpm Redline, and 195/55/15 tires)

the Mph indicated is the maximum speed possible with a 8400rpm redline for that gear

The Shift rpm is the RPM that will be had when shifted into that gear from the previous gear at redline.

Stock ITR

1st gear - - -41.2mph
2nd gear - - -63.2mph shift rpm 5474
3rd gear - - -91.3mph shift rpm 5818
4th gear - - -120.3mph shift rpm 6378
5th gear - - -157.0mph shift rpm 6435

RPM in 5th gear at 70mph is 3746
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock ITR gearing with a JDM FD 4.786

1st gear - - -37.9mph
2nd gear - - -58.1mph shift rpm 5474
3rd gear - - -83.9mph shift rpm 5818
4th gear - - -110.6mph shift rpm 6378
5th gear - - -144.3mph shift rpm 6435

Rpm in 5th gear at 70mph is 4074
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock ITR gearing with ATS 4.92

1st gear - - -36.9mph
2nd gear - - -56.6mph shift rpm 5474
3rd gear - - -81.7mph shift rpm 5818
4th gear - - -107.5mph shift rpm 6378
5th gear - - -140.4mph shift rpm 6435

RPM in 5th at 70mph is 4188
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I will do the same three comparrisons but this time adding the ATS 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear set. (1.652, 1.308, 1.033)

ITR /ATS gearing with stock 4.4 FD

1st gear - - -41.2mph
2nd gear - - -63.2mph shift rpm 5474
3rd gear - - -80.6mph shift rpm 6592
4th gear - - -101.8mph shift rpm 6651
5th gear - - -128.9mph shift rpm 6634

RPM in 5th gear at 70mph is 4563
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITR/ATS gearing with a JDM 4.786 FD

1st gear - - -37.9mph
2nd gear - - -58.1mph shift rpm 5474
3rd gear - - -74.1mph shift rpm 6592
4th gear - - -93.6mph shift rpm 6651
5th gear - - -118.5mph shift rpm 6634

RPM is 5th at 70mph is 4963
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITR/ATS gearing with ATS 4.92 FD

1st gear - - -36.9mph
2nd gear - - -56.6mph shift rpm 5474
3rd gear - - -72.1mph shift rpm 6592
4th gear - - -91.0mph shift rpm 6651
5th gear - - -115.3mph shift rpm 6634

RPM in 5th gear at 70mph is 5102
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was just Presented as a Guide into what differant setups's are available, i know I did not cover all possible setup's. and I only included a 195/55/15 tire (23.44 inch tire diameter) by addin differant size Tire's the possibility's are endless.

But now you can see some actual number;s instead of just what people say

Thats useful inforamtion. I myself have been deciding whether or not to do a new FD maybe next winter. I keep hearing everyone say how worth it it truly is.

Need to run into a little more $$ though

 

THanks for your effort

 

That's strange. On my stock ITR tranny, shifting at redline gets me back into VTEC range for every gear. Below you list the 1-2 shift being at 5474 which would be out of VTEC range.

Or maybe I just shift faster than you

 

Tommy you might shift faster than me, but you can't shift faster than Math. lol

 

What's the comparison to stock JDM gearing?

 

Do you have the number for ATS 1-5 gear with 4.4FD and 4.785FD?

Yasu ownz!

 

has anyone driven a car with a 4.78 FD, and ATS 3,4,5 gears. IM me i would like to talk to you. or post your review here

 

Mike,

here's a thought, what would it be if the overall tire diameter was 21.7 inch with just a stock ITR tranny with the JDM Honda FD(4.7)

what difference would it be?




[Modified by SANBST, 9:17 PM 3/31/2002]

 

that is a small tire. smaller than a 195/45/15(21.9)

well this would be your gearing

1st gear - - -35.1mph
2nd gear - - -53.8mph
3rd gear - - -77.7mph
4th gear - - -102mph
5th gear - - -133.6mph

rpm in 5th at 70mph is 4401

your shift up speed would be stock.

 

http://racingcraft.com/ats-gear-ratio-comparison.shtml ... here is the link to the chart on ats's page .... im going to do the ast 3/4/5th this summer, ill let you know how it goes. (i hope im not a fool)

 

With Stock Type R gearing what rpm are you at when you are going 60 mph??
Thinking of getting a type r tranny so just need to know a few things.
let me know

 

um yes, i running 13's on my civic, 185/60/13 with vx wheels, and yes, i believe its 21.9 instead of 21.7, <<which was a typo on my part, opps


so correct me again, there would be a difference with 21.9 inch overall diameter?

thank you

I believe his calculations are off because he's using an assumed 8400 rpm redline (stock itr rev limiter = 8600). Many of us rev to 9200-9500 and that makes a difference in where the rpm's land on upshifts.

 

I really appreciate the info!!! Very useful stuff!
