anyone here going to get the 4.4 final/rear gear?
One would have to know that number to compare to the 4.4 mentioned in the start of this thread.xencloud said:I think it's either 3.27 or 3.909. I could be way off, though. You can find it on the net if you search.........
Yes a higher final drive will not be very good for boost, becuse you want to stay in each gear as long as you can so that the boost will accelerate it, if you shitft every 2 seconds, the boost wont do it's job.xencloud said:Well, that was not what I was looking for. Maybe better for someone running NA. I was looking for a lower final drive. Does anyone know of a lower final drive?
p.s.-any turbo'd guys wanna give me some input as to how the e-shift does under boost? Would the car benefit with longer gears? Wouldn't you get better MPG, too?
I'm sure this is possible, you just need to find something that bolts on to our cars or can be easily fitted unless you want to do lots of fab work to make it fit. The supras rears have been done by lots of shops with the getrag, so I would assume it would fit with the auto and manual trannies we have with only minor fabricationxencloud said:Well, that was not what I was looking for.

The e-shift works fine under boost, but I have to say that the car is better at shifting gears then I will ever be. I was a diehard manual kinda guy until I bought the IS and there were no manual trannies. Now I'm glad I have the auto. The car changes gears so quick and smoothly that it typically seems like 1st-4th are just one long gear. The car never loses boost and never stops accelerating.xencloud said:p.s.-any turbo'd guys wanna give me some input as to how the e-shift does under boost? Would the car benefit with longer gears?
