can someone go out and drive and let me know where each gear tops out at? or make a video...cuz i own a tC and i believe u xb guys have a different gear ratio that the tC allowing you to have longer gears...if im right that will open up a whole new ball game for tCs, and turbo xBs..thanks i hope i get a response soon

 

the last time i've check is each gear have the same run as the 1st gen but we just get there a bit quicker

 

compared to a tc....im in 5th gear at 3krpm doung 60 mph...if im assuming correctly at 3krpm you should be around 75-80mph

 

more like around 70mph i'll double check it later
so whats yours max mph at redline for each gear?

 

3rd-80...4th-110...5th-135

 

bump

 

I'm not sure they are geared any different if the transmission is the same as for model or pn. Also good luck with someone risking a ticket jut to do wot runs and figure out gear ratios. I think a little research on tranmission part number/model would be a better route for comparison. Either way they are still pretty short. Good luck.

 

yeh i did...and i found the final drive is different

 

That sounds about right given the size and utility of the XB2. You may benefit more from a raised rev limit. It all depends what kind of driving are you going to do. If its a better ratio combined with a raised rev limit might be interesting.

 

speedo readings @ 3000rpm
1st/15mph 2nd/27mph 3rd/40mph 4th/55mph 5th/70mph

assuming 6000rpm.
1st/30mph 2nd/54mph 3rd/80mph 4th/110mph 5th/140mph.


hope this helps

 

your tc max at 135?
i can bearly get mine to 130 before i have to brake

 

limited to 127 for the tc

 

there u go..

 

i'm pretty sure the owner's manual tells you the maximum possible speed in each gear.

 

I thought I heard somewhere that the xB2 governs at 103... is that not true? I got mine to 100 or 101, but not any further. I cant quite remember what rpm I was running at, but it doesnt seem like my second gen will do more than 130 or 135. correct me if I am off please

 

Not true, I've had mine over that speed before

 

x2
had it up to !@#

 

thanks guys it looks like only the fifth gear is longer

 

Does this help?

so the xb2 is drag limited versus the tc being being electronically limited at another 3 mph.

does that mean that the xb2 doesn't have a govenor on it like the tc does?
