While im at it heres the calculator that will tell u the speed u'll reach at the top of each gear depending on the final drive.

wow the difference is huge!!! i wasnt expecting that much difference!
So this is with 4.56 gears??
What do you think of 4.77? i was reading s2ki i think and there was ppl recommending the 4.77 as the 4.56 the difference is not that great.
But also they were debating about freeway driving.
Is the yellow box calibration process anything big deal? cos thats one of the things i worry about...
:honda:
im pretty sure that it was a 4.57, the kia diff as u know is 4.56. Now the 4.77 is ultimatley better, u will accelerate faster,though to get to 100km u'll need to up shift into 3rd that could slow u down 0-100
It really depends on what sort of application its being applied to. Also u'll pay an arm and a leg for ricks or J's 4.77 when u can easily benifit from the Kia diff for half the price. Check out the calculator play with both figures and have a think of where u'd like to be at the end of each gear. For NA and daily i think the 4.56 will serve better, its easier to live with. Think of traffic and start stop. The lower the ratio the less shifts u have to make to get to a certain speed.
dont worry about freeway driving u'll between 3k and 4k rpm at 100 in 6th with a 4.56. The yellow box is pretty straight forward for someone with the knowledge.Heaps of ppl have done it and speedos have needed recalibrating for ages, most ppl who go with large tyre packages on any car need recalibration. Im not gonna tackle on my own. I'll probably get it done at the same place i get my diff done.
id just like to correct myself (if anybody is actually reading this post) the AU +NZ kia diff ratio is actually 4.625 not 4.56, :o
Thats ok. We all make mistakes occasionally. :thumbsup:Quote:

Do you want to build a NA track car or a super charged everyday car? Think of what you want out of your car how you drive, and the ideas will come to you :D
