something doesn't sound right. its a b18a right? 5 speed? auto?

 

5 speed.

 

u need to look into that tranny. I dont think its stock.

 

i just switched from auto to 5 speed and in the auto i was at like 3000 at 70 mph and now with the 5 speed im at probably around 4000 with a ls trans you might have a b16 trans or something but that 4700 is way to much man, look into that!

 

max speed on b16 tranny 115. hated it. had to downshift 4th instead of 3rd.

i had mine on an ls with ls ecu.

 

i JUST had the clutch replaced 4 days ago.

what transmission are you using?

 

im not sure tats even a b16 tranny. I'm running a b16 tranny right now and i'm around 4200 @ 80mph. 4700rpm for me would probably be around 85-88. Possible tach is off?

 

all tachs are off...mine is off by 500 rpm's

 

i dont think the tach is off, cause at 70 mph, my motor sounds like it is seriously hurting, and i hate it, cause then i have to drive 60 to make me feel better, and then im THAT guy on the road.

 

cruising at 4500 rpm on the road wont kill your engine...

I hate that guy, but for me usually there are 2 of them right next to each other.

 

sounds like a b16 tranny, i was at around 4500 rpms going 70mph

my friend is around 3700 at 80 in his 91 ls

 

id say the tachs off, because evem if it was a b16 tranny you wont be sittin that high at 70...you would at 80.

 

if it is a b16 tranny just get a ls 5th gear put in it

 

the engine could be revving even high if the tach is off, its not always showing a higher rpm.

 

actually, weird enough. my axels broke and after i replaced them, its at 3800 rpms at like 72.
