Type R and V Limited
Could someone answer this for me. my mate is after a type r impreza to face up against my new evo 5 i reckon :D. n e ways hes saying that the v limited impreza type r's have a longer gear ratio and can go up to 180mph. is this true i thought all type r's topped out around 150ish because of the close gear box? ty for answers

My penis is bigger than yours...

my dads bigger than your dad.
|
haha lol no seriously is there a difference in the gear ratios between the type r and type r v limited?
|
I seriously doubt it
|
It was an optional extra on the limiteds, to have the 5th from the standard sti.
|
cheers banny so was more like a cruising gear then?

To answer your question,,,
No, it won't do 180mph, not even close buddy. |
I have a 754 box with the tallest 5th gear and 3.9 diff and that wont get close to 180. I reckon if I had the balls it would hit 170 at a push, or go pop by then!!
|
the GT-B legacys have top speed of 168. I doubt any subaru is geared higher than that.
|
19mph per 1000 rpm .....on the limited gearing.
|
Sounds a bit low, in that case my non limited V5 also has the higher fifth gear? Still it's the car that has the lowest gearing of all I've own so far.
How much does the Type R with the stock fifth rev per 1000 rpm? |
I'm a bit confused, according to this chart all STI Type R/RA from V3 on should have the 0.825 fifth which gives about 19 mph per 1000 rpm.

21mph per 1k rpm for regular sti gearing

Banny that would mean a top speed of almost 170mph wouldn't it ?

Aerodynamics play a big part when calculating top speed.....168mph is the theoretical top speed without other factors as Banny has stated.
The impreza has the aerodynamic design of a brick......lol.. |
Still shocked that Andy F managed 214mph or whatever it was a few years back.....
Balls of steel....eh. |
