what would the top end speed be?
To answer your question, 6th gear, 4.7FD @ 8000rpm - 274km/h, 5.1FD and TSX 6th @ 8000rpm - 289km/hQuote:

I used the mfactory calculator and tyre size used was 235/45/17 all throughout.

Hey guys, i just drove my friend car. I been talking to him about my drivetrain upgrade for awhile, then his gearbox blew :/ so he opted to install the parts i was going to install: exedy stage 2/exedy lightened flyheel / 5.1oem fd/ accord 6th. Now his car is just inejncai/toda header/amuse catback and shitty tyres. His car is fast. It accelrates like mine if not faster from 0-120km/h
Mycar has got decent tyres/injencai/toda eader/spooon n1 catback/hondata kpro/stock drivetrain. His car is defiantely on par with mine if not faster.
There has been alot of hate with the 5.1fd with ppl saying its too aggresive and u be shifting way
Too often... In my 10min drive, the shifting was same as mine but i can feel alot more getupandgo even at 2k rpm.
Looking at gear ratio calculators, the data hows it is a great mod... After the drve tonight, its great! I thiught his 3.7/3.8kg exedy flywheel would be too light... It felt great to drive, even with nike tn's lol. I think cos my car has the tuned kpro... I might stick eith my jdm flywheel .
I cant wait to drive his car again!
One thing i would like to test is also his cruising rpm at 6th gear. I wanna see some real life figures on the rpm at 110km/h. I will see if he can do it and report back here!
very good, keep the info coming.
What fool looks at top speed these days... no one is ever going to hit that fast, not even down Eastern creek straight lol. The change in FD imo is all based on it's purpose. You can get a shorter final drive which can be 'torquey' but maybe around wakefield it forces you to hold out the gear until the corner? Then you're f**ked lol. Also, with the street car, definitely gotta check if YOU can handle the cruising speed. A droney exhaust at 4.2k rpm is probably the worst thing I've ever experienced!
I would also like to know thisQuote:
