MPI got gear.

[Metal MP5]

but ithink its fast enough lol
you're really close to redline in 5th at that speed =\

 

[changedman]

i dont have anything to worry about now anyway with the haltech

 

[Metal MP5]

you can overide some of the stock settings ? is it full standalone ?

i wana get rid of the rev limiter ... one day

 

[changedman]

the haltech? ENTIRELY controls fuel and ignition. the ONLY thing the ecu does is show my RPMs, temp, basically just runs the little s***- dome lights, tach, gauges, etc.

 

[4001]

Im pretty sure some MSP have hit higher than 136

 

[daedalus]

with a standalone I dont see why it couldnt.

137 for me I know I stil had some rpm left to work with...

 

[flat_black]

Top speed depends on the overall diameter of your tires, since that's your final gear; Smaller diameter, shorter gears, lower top end. Larger diameter, taller gears, higher top end. That being said, everything stock, the theoretical top speed, not inclusive of drag coefficient, of the Protege5 (195/50R16) is 144mph with the stock gearing. Those who push a lot of power should be able to go about that fast. But I do mean a LOT.

 

[vindication]

you guys are ecu speed limited? damn. teh suck.

it's not about being speed limited, it's about cruising at 70mph at 3.5k rpm. I hate that. if we could cruise at that speed at like 2.8-3.0k, it'd be great

I personally think that 1's & 2nd gear..are what need to be replace...that would or should rather..remedy the notchiness..and permit better shifting...5th gear would be nice as well.

 

[ddogg777]

You need to change the shift fork design if you want to fix the notchiness.

Why didn't this thread ever really finish?

Hey Focus, did you had the ratio changed for the gears?

 

[Focus]

Yes, all my ratios are changed.

Yes, all my ratios are changed.

What are you running now?
Do you like it?

To educate those who want to know, here is a copy/paste:

"[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Spur gears have straight teeth and are used to contact parallel shafts. Spur gears have a high pitch whinning noise associated with them similar to the noise reverse gear generates.[/font] [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Helical gears are used in standard factory transmissions. The teeth on Helical Gears lie along a helix, the angle of the helix being the angle between the helix and the pitch cylinder element parallel with the gear shaft. Helical gears can connect either parallel or nonparallel nonintersecting shafts. Such gears are stronger and quieter than spur gears because the contact between mating teeth increases more gradually and more teeth are in contact at a given time. [/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Helical gears have one disadvantage when compared to spur gears. When they are loaded a side thrust is created that must be absorbed in the bearings."[/font]

great info!

 

[duMb KeoLa]

well where the hell are the prices... another tranny took a s*** last night... i need some gears

 

[LinuxRacr]

How much power you running? Damn!

 

[tekkie]

I remember Focus making a post but I cant find it now the prices were in there
