Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Piggaz]

OK. All speeds and ratios are based off using a 265/35X18 tyre, an RPM limit of 8000 RPM and the use of 4.11 diff gears.

OS GIKEN Sequential - the stock ratios given when ordering one it looks like

1st 2.609 = 90 km/h
2nd 1.934 = 121 km/h
3rd 1.521 = 154 km/h
4th 1.210 = 194 km/h
5th 1.000 = 234 km/h (stock ratio)
6th 0.852 = 275 km/h - 3158 RPM at 110 km/h

I personally like this option. Its a tad shorter in 1st and still can cruise on the freeway without spinning its head off

1st 2.890 = 81 km/h

2nd 1.891 = 124 km/h

3rd 1.468 = 160 km/h

4th 1.174 = 200 km./h

5th 1.000 = 234 km/h (stock ratio)

6th 0.757 = 310 km/h (stock ratio) - 2806 RPM at 110 km/h

Stock ratios on a 32/33 are;

1st = 75 km/h

2nd = 120 km/h

3rd = 180 km/h

4th = 234 km/h (stock ratio)

5th = 310 km/h (stock ratio)

OS GiKEN 5 speed is

1st = 87 km/h

2nd = 138 km/h

3rd = 190 km/h

4th = 234 km/h (stock ratio)

5th = 310 km/h (or 290 km/h if you get the OS giken 5th option IIRC)

PPG sets:

5 Speed (1-4 helical dog set)

1st = 89 km/h

2nd = 143 km/h (farken mega tall)

3rd = 189 km/h

4th = 234 km/h (stock ratio)

5th = 310 km/h (stock ratio)

For the sake of it ill throw in the Getrag PPG 6 speed. These are mad! This is with 3.545 diff ratios.

1st = 85 km/h

2nd = 124 km/h

3rd = 174 km/h

4th = 226 km/h

5th = 272 km/h

6 th = 327 km/h - 2653 RPM at 110 km/h

Argh, number crunching. Time for a beer

Stop crunching

Start buying more OS88

Here is a 3 page thread off the pommie forum talking about this topic.

Don't have to use the R3C clutch...other options out there.

Good comparison, Paul. (Similar to what I had/have on a spreadsheet).

I also like the option 2 OS88 ratios. However, the "UK-spec" ratios are even better:

2.9966 (92kph)

2.05 0 (114kph)

1.521 (135kph)

1.210 (183kph)

1.000 (229kph)

0.784 (278kph)

I can't remember the number of times I have hit 300 or had the space to do that

[Pezhead]

Congrats on the house Paul!

I'll never get there, but it's the cruising rpm. We still drive to Vic for DECA's. I ain't sitting in the car for 7 hours at 3500 rpm.

[NXTIME]

I hit 210 at eastern creek during Powercruise top of 4th gear

[NXTIME]

+1 for cruising <3k

6th on the trust is 2700@110

What's the ratio, Charlie?

[XRATED]

RC3 = dog shit

pussy...

[NXTIME]

Trust 6 speed dog box ratios are:

1st 2.782
2nd 1.938
3rd 1.506
4th 1.178
5th 0.920
6th 0.777

[NXTIME]

should be 2876@110 with stock size GTR tyres. 2762 with my huge rubber.

pussy...

in all fairness, when I removed my clutch I was informed that the thrust bearing was undersized which made it very hard to drive...pretty much every mechanic and tuner that drove my car stalled it, was that bad.

[fatz]

Yea tow car here

f**k being in a gtr seat for more than 2 hours in a row

Swaps for mega 4wd for a lancer?

thrust bearing or not, I put it equal to that dog shit JB whatever he wants to call it.

Junk. Shu boy, shu!

Jim Berry? U can't beat it mate, I know first hand from running the full Monty on my 3ltr and now the 'super Monty' on my current setup

[Piggaz]

Congrats on the house Paul!

Thanks, Eric. Rent it out and make others pay it off . In the mean time, it's all about writing stuff off.

Real estate is where it's at
