Maybe we should clarify something " Final Drive" What is your interpretation when people say that they will sell you a final drive?Quote:

I think the you need the drive shaft and the gear ring. as they are different ratio. it need to be matached.
Most retarded thread ever. Nuff Said.
The dyno doesn't need to know. In shootout mode, it uses the road speed vs torque at the wheels to calculate power at the wheels. Don't need to input gear ratios.Quote:

How do you know if your car has a K20 transmission?Quote:

If the ratio is higher, like the EuroR's 4.75 to the CL9's 4.38 (I think that's what Aaron said it was) then it takes approximately another .4 revolutions of the engine to make 1 revolution of the driveshaft, thus the engine needs to spin more to get the wheels to move the same speed, giving you a lower top speed in each gear.
The reason you want a shorter final drive is so the car can throw itself through each gear quicker because the gear isn't as long. But usually the shorter final drive is used in the Type R's where they're tuned for high rpm and they don't want to fall out of peak power after a shift. The K24A makes it's max torque at 4500rpm, and after a redline shift from 1st into 2nd you fall basically (I do) right back to 4500rpm. The CL9 box is pretty well suited to the power curve of the engine and I don't think the EuroR final drive would give you much benefit at all.
final drive is a waste to change IMO unless you are going to track your car or quarter mile which then results in different final drive selection.
so unless your car is a daily track monster then don't bother wasting your money my 2c
Would you also have the same thoughts if all you wanted to do was take off the lights quickly and get to say the speed limit as quick as possible?Quote:

Same if you were going up to 100km/h, you can just barely get there in 2nd gear with the 4.388 but you would need 3rd gear with a shorter final drive.Quote:
