using the figures from the dyno and the m factory calculator it works out spot on for a 4.785 tho, do bear in mind that spedo's and the ek9 rev counter are known for in accuracy and are all different so it would seem, i also have 4.785 but my clock is in mph,Seems a bit confusing now...
Jimbob: I looked at your video again, I'm sure you have the 4.4FD 96spec box. I remember seeing your first video as well and commented that it was a 4.4. My 3rd gear hits 140-142kmph @ 9000rpm which is nothing close to yours 152kmph @ 8600rpm. Your 1st gear hits well around 65kmph, which is higher than mine. With a 4.78 installed, you should be even more happier. Nothing to bog down about, its good youve got the 96spec box which is same as B16B.
apparently a fair bit.
i was going to swap over to a 4.9 i while back and the guy that was going to do it for me down my way said a few things needed to be changed along with the final drive...........
There was a parts list of things needed with it. About 5 things if i remember correctly.
a final drive kit, a nut, and a couple of new bearings is all thats really needed providing everything else is in good order.
not to hard to do either.
But a few months back when i asked about it, Check this thread:

I was told alot more then that ^^^
Actually, reading back through it, if im not mistaken the ITR and MFactory are different fittement.

thats if you use oem stuff, think the m factory kit allows you to use your stock first gear. maybe best to pm him and check first tho
True, but even though you use the Mfactory calculator, stock B16B gears should be 3400rpm 5th gear @ 100kmph. And 3700rpm with the 4.785FD. Unless my car is dodgy. usually with stock gears, 2nd gear ends at 100kmph @ 8600rpm.
you can use stock gears with OEM FD as well.
Rite guyâs sorry for the late reply, I have been out playing all day!
I cant explain to you guyâs how different my 9 feels now, it feels like a totally different car!
The only way I can explain is my 9 before hand was quite a jerky car to drive both on & off the throttle & now it jus feels like im driving a sheet of silk!
The difference in power is f***ing awesome, no matter what gear im in I just put my foot down & it starts to pull like a train right through the rev range!
It feels so much faster & smother now, im just loving it!
If anyone ask's the question is the B18 worth it or not then i welcome anyone to come drive my car, because it will defo answer there question for them! LOL
I have to say a massive thanks to WILL for tuning my car!
Watching him tuning my car I renamed him the MAD SCEINTIST, he just knows too much! LOL
If anyone wants there Honda tuning I would advice everyone to go see WILL, the guy is a legend!
All in all I just cant believe the power WILL got out of my 9 & I just cant stress enough how different my car drives now!
Once agen a MASSIVE THANKS to Will
