hey guys , im doing a zc swap into my 89 crx hf, im putting an SI tranny on it. but my problem is that ive seen the same swap done on this car before and even with the SI tranny, in 5th gear gonig like 70 your at 3500rpm. now this on the strip isnt that big of a deal, but this car is my daily.and I would like to not own a 4cyl highway gas hog. what gears are compatible with this tranny that can change this in a good way.

thanks in advance.

 

someone ................anyone.......?

Here's a reply. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. My car turns 4800 rpms @ 85 mph on the highway, at which speed I get 34-35 mpg. My car is heavier and I assume the b16 consumes more gas then the ZC. It takes a day to get used to hearing the motor in the higher rpms' on the highway, but it will be fine.
