A 3.545 Vs a 3.909

[tharaka]

use a 3.909 box with 3.545 front and rear diffs, 2500rpm @ 100km/h, and no need to hook fifth on the strip until your cars doing much quicker times.

that is perfect

so, an RS gearbox, and the standard front and rear diffs?

so if u use 3.545 front and rear diffs and have the front 3.545 in a 3.909 front gearbox..what final drive do you have?

less thean 3.545?
is that wat your saying?

vfaq lists gear ratio's, but not the RS (EVO0 same as RS?)

gsr(c73a) 2.8 never ending gears and does not like to sit in 4th at 60km, plus Ive never seen 5th and been way over 180km

thats odd...

my 2.8's a freakishly short, redline first is about 50km's, 3000rpm at 100kph in 5th.

That's 3.545. Someone changed your gearing

no way, dont say that, impossible, my box and diffs are un-molested so should be the stock 2.8's

if a W5M33 was built with 2.8's then it would be never ending gears for sure, but im sure the stock C73A runs a different final drive ratio which effectivily makes the 2.8's the same gearing as a 3.9

dunno why they did that, maybe to try and keep the tail shaft speed down :?

mitsi did shift to 3.5's in the C73A's but on after 1990, the pre 1990's should be 2.8's

now im confused, lol

mine on 100kms now sits on 2700rpm

maybe you do have 3.5s

mine on 100kms now sits on 2700rpm

well, if it does, it shoulnt, its an 88, build plate says KM221 2846, i do know how ever the 2.8's do run the same revs as the 3.5's because the primary and secondary ratio are different.

so 3000rpm in 5th with 2.8's should equal 3000rpm in 5th with 3.5's, in the KM stock series or WM stock series box.

yours is whats werid SIVART, are you running a KM221?
