Re: jspec 1.5vtec????!!!

I will get a pic of it sometime when i can get a passanger in there during the day. In second gear i am turining almost 7000 rpm at 92 or so mph. The rated redline on the motor i have is 7200 rpm and i have never taken over 7000 rpm just a few times just so i caould actually see what it could do after the swap. The gears in the HF tranny are extra-extra long. 3rd gear at about 6500 rpm i am running at 120mph and thats as fast as i have taken it. It takes a little bit longer to wind out third gear that it does first and second but my spedo only reads 120 mph so i just let off since i couldn't exactly tell how fast i was going and plus i figured i was going fast enough. But i do have to say, the hf tranny isn't a bad tranny, it's just the fact that previously it had only what, 64hp thrying to turn the tranny and now i have almost double the HP with quite a bit more torque so it definatly winds up quick in firtst and second, third is a fun gear to pass in on the interstate cause it had a good amout of pull w/out really reving the engine far into vtec so i am really likeing the HF tranny cause i drove to louisville last week and really babied the throttle and kept it in fifth on the interstate running about 85 the hole way turning 2500rpm, and i got 45 miles to the gallon. I made it 320 miles and still had a quarter tank left or so left. It was like 7.2 gal of gas when i filled it up at 320 miles. So i for one have to praise a part of of a HF car whitch you don't hear very often but i actually like the tranny cause i can go plenty fast and still get great gas milage, especially since gas is like $2.20 cects a gallon right now.
