ofcourse - and as previously mentioned neither will a flywheel. But the game seems to be all about better accelleration :)Quote:

yeah, but a different final drive will give similar results as a flywheel would.
Just different consequences, ie. will give quicker accelleration like a flywheel, but will result in a loss of top end, something that a flywheel wouldn't do.
higher ratio final drive will not hurt the top end BUT top speed.
oops....thats what I meant :o
Closer ratios are purely for improving acceleration and keep the engine in the meat of it's powerband and also handy for better acceleration out of tighter corners. Witness DC2 vtir compared to DC2R, 1st gear same but the rest are shorter for 98specR, 96specR slightly different. This puts 2nd gear change well inside vtec whereas vtir drops out just marginally unless you wanna abuse your clutch by riding it into 2nd.
Close ratios come at the cost of top speed, fuel economy and more engine noise due to higher rpm being sustained in a given gear.
Hope this is helpful :thumbsup:
ok thx guys, but still dun get any answer about Whether EK9 and DC2R gear box are close ratio comparing with EK4 gear box?
so close ratio gear means when u shifted the rpm won't drop that much?
if EK4 1st 8000 shift to 2nd 5500
Ek9 would be 1st 8000 shifted to 2nd 6000?
But anyone knows wheter type R gear box are "Close ratio" !!!
I really think that "Close Ratio" is just a term
You can say Type-R have close ratio because the rpm drop lot less than the other cars, but of course if you changed the gears, it will become more shorter
For me, 1000-1500 rpm drop is close enough, and i think 180km/h top speed is not enough for track use
And i have a Q's here, since EK4 gearbox have exactly the same gear ratio with 96 spec DC2R, so are there any benefits of getting a Type-R gearbox besides the LSD?
Yes DC2R is close ratio, but not sure how similar to EK9.Quote:
