I've seen some RPM charts, including top speeds for each gear for the S. Does anyone have, or can you determine, where in MPH in each gear (1-6) the S is in it's best HP range. I'm especially interested in 6500RPM to 8500RPM - that seems to be where mine pulls strongest.

 

I don't have it, but I wanted to post so I could get an email notification when it is posted.

Good Post! Thanks, I've wanted to know this and just been to lazy to actually go out do the test and right down the data.

 

VTEC

 

I'm not sure what MPH you'd be going at the onset of VTEC, but since you get dropped near the beginning of VTEC when shifting at the red I go into the lowest gear I can as long as I'm not within 5 mph of the top speed for that gear (wow that was a long sentence). I don't remember the exact speeds, but I just remember: 1st = 40, 2nd = 65, 3rd = 90. If you're near the top of gears higher than that then you're going too fast.

So I guess your answer would be roughly: 41, 66, 91...

Here is my top speed / VTEC chart which may help discussion.

GEAR VTECH TOP
1st 29mph 43mph
2nd 43mph 66mph
3rd 60mph 90mph
4th 77mph 116mph
5th 93mph 139mph
6th 111mph 166mph

 

I don't know where VTECH is, but I do know where VTEC is.

 

VTECH makes great phones, I have one!

VTEC makes power...by way of Honda motors.
