Tonight i was thinking that it would be cool if we documented how fast we were going in each gear at a given RPM. For example....

1st Gear... 25 mph ... 6,000
2nd Gear... 50 mph... 6,000

I dont know what my results are... but I will find out if somebody else writes down their stuff... I just think it is a neat idea for people wondering about some performance MODS and I thought this might help them out.

Just a thought... You all might think i have too much time on my hands... HAHA

i guess this topic was already posted before, but here's my thought. the car manual suggests that you change gear on the 3000 mark, however, I still follow the old fashion way of changing gears... change gear every 25 kph, or 10 mph of additional speed. By doing this, I got better gas mileage. I am averaging 38 mpg in case you want to know. I also have an ex without any engine mod (yet).

well. I know 2nd gear takes me up to right about 59 mph... and 1st gear is 30 something? heh.

okay. I'm not much help at all....

If you know the gear ratios and final ratio you can calculate the speed given the gear and rpm. I don't know the equatons off hand but I'm sure I could find them. Anyone know the gear ratio's, it's 2am and I dont want to run out to my car to grab my manual [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

the manual actually tells you the recommended points of shift for 'normal' and 'cruise' driving.

1st 31 mph @ 7100 rpm
2nd 62 mph @ 7100 rpm
3rd 85 mph @ 7100 rpm
4th 110 mph @ 7100 rpm
5th 120 mph @ ??? rpm (fastest i got the slowvic going)

Anyone else have a problem with a governor kinda poping up out of no where, i used to be able to get up into the 120s but now its limited to like 115....

I think older civics had better gear ratios in the trannies, becasue I ran my g/f in my hatch before I sold it and thats why she lost is beucase i could run each gear out farther than her, and i had a sohc dx, when we ran, she would shift way before me and i could hit close to 100mph in 3rd

The car is redline limited... You can go as fast as you can with out hitting the redline governor in a given gear. So the more HP you have, the faster you can go, but there is no set Mile per hour limit.
