Particularly interested in the mph/revs of a UK 5th gear and your mph per thousand in 5th.

If you could post your revs at 80, revs per thou in 5th and your car, I'd appreciate it!

Cheers

About 4k revs - but it is a Sport

IIRC it is 24.88 mph/1000RPM on a UK car.

I have a gearing spreadsheet I can send you if you want. Email me at kmacleod@eastlothian.gov.uk if you want it

UK turbo 3000rpm = 72mph. I use the to judge whether I'm being a good or a bad Saxo Boy

john banks

Except it is 75 mph Kenny

LG John

74.64 Actually

I pass gatso's at 3k rpm but no more and I've been fine.....except that one in the 30 zone

My RA does 17mph/1000 in top!! Therefore at 80mph i'm doing about 4700rpm.

Thanks for the replies guys. The reason I ask is that my Leggy is doing almost 4K at 80 and does 20mph per thou in top. As I spend a lot of time on the Motorway, this has got tiresome, so am looking at getting a UK 5th gear and doing a straight swap. From what I can see, this should make my 5th a little more leggy (pardon the pun) and may even save some fuel on Motorway runs.
Thanks for the spreadsheet Ken.

UK 95 Turbo - 3k revs = 80 mph on the nose. 4k revs ~ 90 mph therefore it is doing about 20 - 22 mph / 1000 rpm.

Before the downpipe it did mean accelerating at motorway speeds was a bit lethargic - better now though

The 5th Gear on a UK Turbo is the same as the Legacy (or near enough to make no difference)

The difference is the final drive, when I converted my Legacy GT(B) to Manual I changed it to UK Final drives: 3.9 instead of 4.44 or 4.1.

I now get 100mph at 4000rpm
