Are you having MPH problem? Cuz I do too. When I am at 80MPH on the Highways with my B16A and a S4c Tranny I am only at 3.6K RPM. I am suppose to be at 4.4 according to a transmission guru (Bense).

Your Del Sol Vtec use the same S4c tranny as I do, because you also use the B16.

i first saw the thread and thought

"why would you want to go 600 mph in a civic?"

heres a site that will calculate speed when you enter gear ratio's, tire size, and max engine rpm

http://www.csgnetwork.com/speedcalc.html

enjoy! now all you gotta do is find the numbers

you sir, dont have a si tranny on yours. s4c are 4.4 FD. so at 80mph your rpm should be at 4300rpm. the tranny you using is an LS with a4.266FD

use this site to see your mph/rpm

Default Re: RPM at Highway speeds (jimeb)

b16 (del sol y21) 4400 rpms @ 80 mph
GSR 4150 rpms @ 80 mph
LS 3750 rpms @ 80 mph


These are going by speedo and tach in which some case might be alittle off.
