Is there something wrong with my Gear Ratio's?!?!?!

[iceman_vti]

OKay, yesterday i was takin my friends out to the Avalon Airport, and while i was goin out on the highway i sped up to 100, and thought 'okay time to change to 5th' and popped the clutch in, grabbed the knob and i was IN 5th!!! i was like wtf?!?! at 100 i run at 3000RPM..... and on the way back to Gippsland you do 110, which rises it to like 3250...... is this normal? or is something berry rong ^_^

thnx guys

manual Hondas usually runs at around 2900-3000rpm for 100km/h
close gear ratio like EF3 or DC2R etc runs arodun 3100-3200rpm

[iceman_vti]

That's pretty normal, my em1 does 3300-3500rpm at 100km.

Is that in 4th or 5th gear? Sounds high to me...my EK1 runs at 2700RPM at 100km/h in 5th.

[Tu88y]

5th gear driving at 100km/h and my revs are sitting at 3300 revs

[Setanta]

100km/h = 3500rpm in 5th in my EF9

[replaced]

i get 3,000 at 100km, it should be fine seeing as nearly everyone who has posted are around that range

[edmond23]

my ek4 runs at 3500rpm on 5th on 100km, 3500rpm on 4th on 80km

yes but you "have" a 7speed box!

[z3lda]

true that pro-ecu.
6th is 120 at 3k rpm
7th is 140 at 3k rpm

[ProECU]

seems a bit too linear to be true

100, 120, 140
5th, 6th, 7th

What kind of box is this? What other details can you give?
