Twitch de la Brat Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) hrrmm, last time i knew, you were pbarely getting any 4spd to work at all in your brat.when did you do a 5 spd swap?and guages not working pretty much make your results null and void.no concrete data.sorry, fail. cheers, brain This winter actually. Right around February. I got the tranny mounted up, but had to wait to get money for a driveshaft. Got the driveshaft bought a month or so later and was able to drive it. Shortly after the timing components went on my lego. And as for the guages not working, my tach works as a tach, but my speedometer doesn't work at all. I have a GPS in the car. I have used the GPS with both transmissions. The 5psd is slightly slower at the same rpm Twitch Edited May 12, 2010 by Twitch de la Brat He did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5psd is slightly slower at the same rpm Twitch unless you have a very nice GPS, and i mean, very nice, the variability is to high.still fail...... you have to have reliability to get concrete data.sorry ben, but your rigs are not reliable.(proven by your own posts, not bashing) the driveability is better with a 5 spd period. and the rpm's drop about 500 rpms throughout the range....this was tested on a 1986 brat with 185/80/13's,205/75/14's, and 235/75/15's.on a 1983 wagon with 175/70/ 13's and 235/75/15's. you originally stated"maybe a little higher"...... that is what i went off of.cheers, brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure its a very nice one And I agree with my rigs not being too terribly reliable, but its what I experienced. the driveability is better with a 5 spd period.and the rpm's drop about 500 rpms throughout the range....this was tested on a 1986 brat with 185/80/13's,205/75/14's, and 235/75/15's.on a 1983 wagon with 175/70/ 13's and 235/75/15's. you originally stated"maybe a little higher"...... that is what i went off of.cheers, brian I agree with the greater driveability, the extra gear greatly increases the overall usable power. But I haven't changed tires on mine. So maybe mine is a fluke? Or it might be because I have an 85 transmission, it may have shorter gears. I'll have to look that up. **EDIT** And I did. According to this article, Brain's right. The top gear of the 4sp d/r is .769:1, with a final drive of 3.583 The top gear of the 5sp d/r is .780:1, with a final drive of 3.416 So after multiplying the top gear with the final drive you get... 4sp d/r: 2.755:1 5sp d/r: 2.664:1 (lower is faster) I humbly apologize for the confusion.

Turbone Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Tire size makes a big difference also. I have 185/70/14's on my Brat with a unknown year 5spd D/R. My rpm's run about 2.6k at 70mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallwelder81 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 at the risk of FURTHERING the off topic posts, i wante dto ask you guys. WHERE is a good place to get a d/r five spd? also.... where is a good place to get a ea81 rebuilt? i just want it new. nothing too fancy. maybe an extra twenty horse. does anyone know if CCR does performance upgrades? oh yea, one last questo, where do you get a hi flow Ypipe for the ea81? magnaflow has NOTHING smaller than 2 inch into 2.5 inch.

Yo'J Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 &%$%^#$%$#DANGIT!!! I'm out due to ej HG failure. I'm not smoking my motor in the memorial day pass traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 ONE WEEK REMINDER!!!!! Well, I'll Be showing up either late, late Thursday or early as possible Friday. Unfortunately, even though I requested it off, my boss still scheduled me for Monday :-\ So I'll have to leave Sunday night, but no biggie on time as I don't work until 12. I'm just in search of one good driver's side rear drum right now. I won't have time to do both before the meet, but I need to get one good drum. Anybody within an hour's drive have one sitting around? Twitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenix747 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 &%$%^#$%$#DANGIT!!! I'm out due to ej HG failure. I'm not smoking my motor in the memorial day pass traffic. That sucks man sorry you cant make it' date=' better get it fixed up for WCSS though! And as Twitch said one more week! Schedule will still go as it says in the original post. Only thing im adding is location for start and finish of the cruse and show spot. I figure a good spot would be the parking lot for CWU closest to University Way accross the street from the Campus U-tote-em. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr=47.001208,-120.535839&hl=en&geocode=&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=18&sll=47.001194,-120.535528&sspn=0.00206,0.004823&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=18 Its a large parking lot and is always empty on weekends because everyone goes home to the westside we will gather in the back corner. I think that covers everything, if you are going to be in town earlier (like Twitch plans to) and you want help finding the camping spot just let me know and i can show you the way. -Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugs Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Provided the BRAT doesn't sell by then I will more then likely be showing up Sat evening around 7-8ish pm, with my 13 year old son. Can we post some maps of the campground and a map of how to get to it. (I can get to Eburg but will need to know where to go from there.) Maybe some contact info of key personell would be good as well. Hope to see you there. If anything changes I will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, yeah, Brain Rocks I'm getting that installed today Thanks for the map Andy, looks like the end of the trail will make some awesome *ahem* "drifting" area Zap, that sounds great.
