Default high geared b16 tranny?

I just did a jdm b16 into my 90 crx swap. It seems like its geared really high. Ive never driven a car with a different tranny than stock so i dont know if this is suppose to be like that. But when im doing about 70 mph on the highway my rpm is at about 4 1/2. Is that normal for my tranny?

it's fine thats how it's supposed to be......you could swap out the 5th gear for an ls gear if you really wanted to to get better higway milage

will being geared like this cause alot faster wear on my motor because the rpms stay up more?

The Si tranny is simply an ITR without the LSD. Shorter gearing than a GSR or LS.
