it seems to me that my rpm's are higher that they should be, (4k in 5th going 70pmh) what could that problem be coming from

 

what tranny you have???

 

what do u expect... 500 rpm ?

 

he might have a s1 tranny that has short gears. i had the same prob well not really a prob that just how it is...

 

What transmission is it?

 

he has the S1 for sure

I have this problem but I love it track and street wise but the higway what can I say u win some and got to lose some

 

or a j1. Ryan

 

it's not a problem its a y1

i have one of those

So now that this thread has 3 different trans. which one is correct and which 2 are incorrect. misinformation. I guess it could be all three.

Think it's the JDM J1.

 

i have a y1 and its at 70 at 4k oh it's fun gonna be even better with boost passing people on the highway fun spool at 4k

 

My s1 rides just under 4500rpm at 70mph. Y1's are'nt quite as steep as the S1 so I'd have to guess that he has a Y1 trans..

 

yeap i have a Y1.....what tranny did you go from???? me L3 Si tranny was about the same.......3750 at 70 and 4100 at 80 get used to it..they are hondas..they rev high.....

 

To end all confusion He has a Y1. I have the Y1 LSD tranny and I have the same RPM at 70 MPH. It really sucks, but it's great for the track!

 

I have a J1 and at 80 mph i am doing 5000rpm
so ido 65 on freeways

 

well when i first got the car, the rpms wernt so high, they were around 3700, and it just seemed to change, and when im going 70 im around 4500rp not 4000, would this mean im loosing power by any means? or can anyone tell me what went wrong?

 

There is no possible way it would change. It's just not how cars work.

 

Change wheel size lately?

 

nope didnt change wheel size, and this high rpm thing pisses me off

 

I have a JDM J1 Trans too, @70=4800rpm Very fun on the track!!!!!!!!!
Sucks on the highway

Im trying to say this in all politeness.
You have one of the shorter geared trannies. Either you didnt notice it when first did the swap or someone switched them on you. but guess what? shorter geared trannies make you accelerate faster not slower. It is absolutley impossible for gear ratios to change by themselves.

 

Well its a YS1 tranny not a j1 or s1, and the rpms werent so high when i first did the swap, syncros are all fucked up, maybe thats the problem?

 

maybe your tachometer is bad?

 

dont think its the tac, its too loud and vtec crosses over at same rpm, unless the tac **** wit my motor

 

you are confusing me check your speedo cable, sometimes they come loose from the tranny. but normally a check engine light would come on and vtec will not ingage.
