Does anyone know what the R's gearing ratios are, including final drive?

 

maybe this will help

Found site thanks, my question is this a 98 Spec R gearing are 4:785 final drive vs 91 SiR 4:266 0 final drive. Also, really don't see the close similarity as people speak of the B16A1 gearing to the Type R. My, question is let's compare a B16A1 final drive 4:266 vs 98 Type R final drive 4:40. Does that mean at say 80 mph with B16 rpm is at 4K oppose to Type R at same speed rpm is higher or lower. That's one main thing not too familiar with & I've had plenty of cars.

 

a shorter final drive would mean higher rpm's for highway cruising

 

So you say shorter final drive mean higher rpm's for highway cruising. That's what get me because the type r's final drive is 4:785 & 4:40 vs 4:266 in SiR. You would think the SiR would have a smaller final drive being 4:266 is smaller than the other 2. So at 80 in 5th gear what would the type r rpm's be ex: 5K rpm's @ 80 mph. thanks

 

hey gingas, it has something to do with bicycle gears. HAha. I have read a bunch of final gear explanations and I remain confused.
I studied intro to accounting a long time ago. I had a professor with a thick accent. To this day I beleive he said that debits add money and credits subtract money. So, if your account was credited with $100 that means you lost or spent money?? I guess if the gear ratio is 4.2 that means it is taller than a gear ratio of 4.7. And if the 4.2 is taller it doesn't spin as fast??
I think the 4.2 gear is being credited with $100. Which means 4.2 payed off a debt owed to someone. Maybe the local voodoo tech that came up with the system that indicates the shorter number (4.2) has the taller value????? HA.

 

Wow, that really helps.

 

 

well my USDM R has the stock 4.40 final drive and cruising in 5th @80mph it's sitting a little over 4k rpms
