is there any comparison between the two?? I tried searching but didn't get any info. I already have the 4.57. I really like it but it requires a lot of shifting and on highway, I have to stay at 4500 on 6th all the time. The gear whine also bothers me sometimes. Anyways, is there a comparison between the two? 0-60, 1/4 mile, top speed? also is there any gear whine with 4.33??

 

4.33 gears are not significantly different enough from the stock 4.10 to make it worth the time and trouble of putting them in. Except for the whine you are experiencing, those 4.57s are the ideal ratio for your car. You would be far better off going to 4.44s because at least with those, you'll feel something. After the acceleration of 4.57s, getting 4.33s would be like throwing cold water on you when you get horny.

 

thanks...

It's just that back in Turkey, people mostly do highway runs from 80-160 sometimes. There are civic type-R's that pull 5 cars to stock s2000 after 110. Since I will be taking my car back to Turkey after I graduate, I was thinking it might be better with a 4.33 since 4.57 tops at 150 (240 kn/h)

 

No, it won't. The car you have is limited to a top speed of about 150 mph, regardless of what gears you put on. If you have gears that are numerically lower than 4.57, you still won't go more than 150 mph due to aerodynamic drag. You would have to get a supercharger or turbo to go any faster.

 

also moving to S2000talk

 

What an analogy! Tell me he didn't.
