Hey all

i have seen lately that people are debating on what the top speed of thier car is and people are getting mixed results with mainly suggestions, so i decided to take it upon myself to do all the calculations for all the years and transmissions.

NOTE: ALL THESE FIGURES ARE ASSUMING THAT YOUR CAR CAN MAKE IT TO THESE RPMS, IT ALSO DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INNACUARCY OF GAUGES, SLIPPING CLUTCES, AFTERMARKET WHEELS, ETC.

1986-1987
Manual Transmission
(Note: these are on the gxl and sport tires)


1987.5-1991
(excluding GTUs)


GTUs
the GTUs was just a normal manual but had a different final drive
Note: this transmission with GTUs wheels



1988
in 1988 came the introduction of the convertable, and the only convertable with a 3.909 final drive manual transmission




1986-1991
Automatic Transmission (Coupe)

NOTE: all auto transmissions have the same gear ratios with the exception of the convertable which had a different final drive of 4.1



1988-1991
Automatic Transmission (convertable)





1987-1988 Turbo Manual Transmission
(this transmission has the turbo size tires)



1989-1991
in 1989 the turbo transmission got an updated 5th gear



special thanks to Cossett from hondaswap.com for putting the excel spreadsheet together, thanks buddy

 

Here is another good speed/RPM calculator, it lets you put in your gear ratios and tire sizes.

The site is up most of the time, its a nice site, they also have performance statistics of most cars and let you line them up.

i like excel its easier to use and it can be manipulated more readily

 

but you can put in different tire sizes on that web site

 

you can in excel too

 

Hey mods can i get this stickied or archived?

 

Why?
It's all theoretical numbers.
The Turbos can hit those numbers on relatively mild mods, but NA's have a problem with making the power to attain speeds like that.
With the lower numerical ratios, the backlash through the drivetrain back to the engine.
Thus, the engine has to work harder.

If you drop a turbo engine with the NA ratios, there's a chance it might hit those theoretical top speeds as indicated in your spreadsheets, but most NA's cannot hit 200hp at the wheels.
So, it's all a pipe dream at this point...

it also condenses all the transmission/year info i just thought the redline speed would be a neat addition.

so if you want to archive tranny specs you know what to archive
