Meanwhile - Looking at Lightweight Rims for Stance , I took a Look at the Gearing - Noticed some Troubling Numbers !
First Up the 10X has to many Over Drive Rations . Example 6th Gear @ 2000 Rpm is Approx 42 Mph and @ 3000 Rpm is 63 Mph . . OK so Far , Right - Next Gear 7th
7th Gear @ 2000 Rpm around 54 Mph Actually due to Running Smaller Tires and @ 3000 Rpm 81 Mph . .
That Means :In 6th Gear @ 6400 Rpm = 134.5 Mph - Which it May do If the Turbo has Boost .. Turbo will Fall Flat around 5400 Rpm ..most Likely ..
( Anyone Tested ? ) Where the Turbo Falls Off .. ?
7th Gear @ 6000 Rpm = 162 Mph - which This Accord will Not Do - Even with Honda's Very Good Aerodynamics's . // Tuned , Mid Pipe , Lighter Wheels - It May do
5400 - 5700 Rpm 145.8 Mph . .153.7 Mph either-way that 7th Gear and all the OD Gears & Work Load on Accord -Even running 80-85 Mpg in 9th & 10th on Freeway with Cross winds , Head Winds etc.
Is Working to Hard .. ( I Just Feel 3.84 Final Ratio used in Sport ) Instead of the 3.55 Final Ratio in 10X May have been Better Over All Fit ..)) - Haven't Even Mentioned 8th , 9th , 10th .. Gears , so Really Believe - This Constant Working Or Load - ( Instead of Free Wheeling ) May Lead too Much Heat & Oil Consumption on all 10X Accords ..
Sport with It's Lightweight Single Flywheel ,Clutch setup and 3.84 Gear - Has More Free Wheeling Effect - More then the 10X Accord .. - It's 5th Gear should be Good for 150 Mph ..with
Tune & Light Wheels .
Any Testing Would Have to be Done on Track or Old Closed Airport . . .
