Whats my gear ratio?? :P

[JasonGilholme]

For all those people that don't know their final drive/gear ratios heres a descent link:

http://www.allmotorhonda.com/techpages/B-series_Tranny_specs.htm

NOTE: These are only for b series engines. you can find the tranny code on the front side of the tranny. Mine had a barcode near it as well. :P

hmmm, all those yummy non-AUDM cars...

would you mind enlightening us as to which ones relate to AUDM cars please?

i would also suggest that this link to this worksheet is potentially more usefull...

I've seen that spreadsheet before but i was still unsure what box i was to refer too. This link has the tranny codes on there so all you need to do is look for the tranny code on ya box.

mines an S21.

my 'box has not got a tranny code that is visible prior to removal, rare, but true...

[JasonGilholme]

but this info is still applicable to people who can find their box number isn't it?? If its not mods can you delete this thread. Don't want any misinfo goin round.

[tinkerbell]

oh, yes, yes, still slightly applicable!!!!

but it is much easier from the other link i posted: http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Echenglee/GearRatio.xls

[tinkerbell]

plus i *know* the spreadsheet is accurate as i helped to cross-check it against the honda.co.jp website...


BUT - cant you see on the link you posted that they have different ratios for the SAME gearbox code?

there are THREE different S80 third gear ratios!


this is a much more useful table too: http://tech.hybridgarage.com/tech/bseries.html

i probably recomend the spreadsheet as well *innocent*....

but the first link you posted up was where i started my spreadsheet. it got confusing because of the s80 gearbox which made it very confusing because well .. they all s80.. but different gears inside!!!..

Integra VTIR = American GSR
Type R = Type R..
i belive the RS GS LS is the GSi here..

and its hard because we also call our cars somewhat differently here.. and its also not uncommon to change the gears inside and final drive which is what tinkers did.. so then the spreadsheet becomes usefull..

if your trying to work out how the spreadsheetworks..

u just goto know the name of your car really..

its done into most makes and models and most common mixxes and addons.. (granted im a bit more builtup in the B series end)

and if for some reason the car and gearbox dont match up mostlikely you did an engine conversion and you should know what engine is in your car therefore you know alot about cars and will easily work out what car the engine originally came from =P..

ohh and like tinks my gearbox is worn and old it be hard to see if its a s80 gearbox =P..

thx Tinks =P!..

AUDM Type R = JDM Type R
AUDM Type R not = USDM Type R

AUDM Type R = JDM Type R
AUDM Type R not = USDM Type R

see what i meen about confusing !!.. i just confused myself =P..
