I'm thinking of maybe one day buying the ATS 4.7 Final Drive for my S2000. Anybody here running that kind of gearing? How is the acceleration compared to stock? What is the top speed now?

 

jim w/ the yellow s2k here in town has the richmond final drive... give red a call about it...

 

I believe it hits the rev limiter at 150 in 6th with the richmond fd.

 

we have several 457 rear ends in stock

shoot me a pm

Yeah I was up there when Kenso was putting in it for him,but I think I might wanna get the J's racing 4.7 over the Richmond. I think the richmond is a 4.4 correct?

where is "here in town".... i live right outside of charlotte and am very interested in a different final drive. i would like to check it out personally. i am also planning on a trip to wilington to visit some friends at capefear/uncw. hopefully ill make it down there while the weather is still nice, so if anyone wants to get up and ride around a little bit let me know.....thanx

 

wilmington.....

let me know when you come to town, and maybe we can meet up....

 

Rumor has it that the 4.57 is the better choice, but at this point it is just a rumor. I am considering this myself.

 

yea i am considering the 4.57 because it is in between the 4.77 and the 4.44 lol. what is the top speed with the 4.57 and how much does the 0-60 improve and 1/4? is it a proven fact to help the car out and make it faster and not just quick rev ups and lose speed or times?

 

what about having to calibrate the speedometer? dont you lose calibration of the speedo when you change the final drive and change tire/wheel size??

 

im runnin a kia 4.77 that is cryotreated.. ive put about 9k miles on it so far and the acceleration is alot more fun forsure..

 

Yes,I'm for sure going with the 4.57 rear end. If you guys want one also send "fknfast" a IM about one. He has good prices on them

Hey profpin what is your top speed now with a 4.7 FD??

Yellow box from Ricks

 

with the 4.77, the top speed in the low 140's i believe

 

with the 457 at 65 mph your at 4000rpm just to give you an idea on revs!

everyone i know loves the 457!

 

has anybody ever tried a gear vendors under/over drive for the s2000? it might eat too much hp on one of them. but having 12 gears would be a lot of fun.

 

4ks at 65? damn lol pretty high.

high but the extra acceleration is worth it

 

What gear is that in? 5th or 6th

 

should be 6th...i know with the 4.77 you're at 5400rpm at 85mph in 6th

 

by how much does the mpg get affected? i am sure by a **** load huh? almost in vtec at that speed steadily lol. any info on the 4.57 rpm at 80 and the mpg and top speed?

 

it will spend more gas. youll prob lose 5-6 miles per gallon. i havent actually added it all out...ballpark

I'm gonna go with Kia gears as well. Paying $300 bucks at the Kia dealer sounds way better than spending $1000 for the same gears from J's.

Also, here's graph showing the diffrence in gearing the 4.77's make over the stock
(4.10) and the discontinued 4.44's
