gear ratio

under my hood im running a b16a with a 95 gsr tranny when i had my stock ex d16 motor and tranny i was able to hit 75 going at 3,000 rpms easy maybe a little more but now i have the swap and when i hit 75 going toward 80 im going at 4,000 or about 4200 ... i wanna know if this is bad for the engine if i go a long distance going 80 or 90 and the rpms are at 4,000 i know the tranny has shorter gear ratios for better acceleration but could the b16a handle it ?

Re: gear ratio

That's normal. Your B16 spins more rpm's to generate it's power than the D16 does. Going 85mph in 5th gear on my B16A transmission puts me close to or around 4,500 rpm's. I also commute four hours a day total driving time doing that speed here in Atlanta. The B16 redlines at 8,000 rpm's. 4,000-5,000rpm's aren't going to hurt it.
