Gear ratio's & speeds
So I was hoping someone with a stock b13 sr20 tranny could tell me what speed they are going at 3k rpm in 5th gear? I thought I had a stock b13 tranny but after doing some research people were saying they do 68-69mph at 3k, while I do 60-61 at 3k in my car. Obviously wheel and tire size has an effect on speed vs rpm but I'm running 16s with 225/45 so if anything I should be going faster, not slower than a car with stock wheels.

Check your speed via GPS... My b13's speed was off even with the stock tires lol

thats a possibility, but my speedo is the same as the "your speed" signs around town. and i would think 8-9 mph off would be somewhat noticeable on the road.

with your tire size and speed that sounds around what a b13 trans with a 4.7 final drive would do. or your tach is off approx 300 rpms with a stock b13 gear box

i didn't even know there was a 4.7 final drive for these trannys, iv only heard of the 4.44 option tach could be off, i have the greddy mss to activate vvl solenoids and there is a small difference between the rpms on the tach and the rpms on the mss. i forget how much, havent driven my car in over a month thanks to spec
