gday,
Is there a formula for working out top speed in each gear with a given gear ratio and diff ratio? basically im trying to work out my top speed in first gear with an EA T5 and 3.73:1 diff gears, with 15" rims and 205*65*15 tyres. cheers

umm you can
get the circumfrence of each wheel the max rpm of engine and all the ratio's of gears and away u go

yeah but what is the actual equation???
oh and does anyone have the ratio for first gear in an EA T5??

Edit what you need in the yellow cells, and then click on a vacant cell for your figures. Bear in mind this calculates rolling speeds, obviously speed limiters come into as well.

EA 1st is 3.5 from memory.
With 3.73's it'll be off tap dude, f**k burnout machine!

I only got the auto ratio in there 2.39, ahh well, was a while ago that thing...

thanks for that,
judging buy that snap, my top speed will be 51 km/h at 5500rpm in first gear.... doesnt sound right considering ARM said that an EA T5 redlines at bout 40km/h with a 3.45 diff...?

I think you'll find it's reasonably close - my XH calculated 105kmh in 5th at 2000RPM - this is spot on in reality.
I did measure my wheel diameter, and compared with the spreadsheet, the diff is around 12mm less in calculation - rolling distance will calculate on the conservative side. Also I suppose the actual rolling distance will be slightly less due to the tyre sitting flat due to tyre pressure.

doesnt matter how flat they tyre is it will still be the same distance all around the tyre. Dont forget about torque converter slip in the autos either.

well its a goer. Pick the gearbox up tomorrow night, and then i have to collect a few more EF specific parts and a new clutch over the next month or two.
