My ae82 5speed did about 3200rpm @ 100km/h on 15's and my 4sp Auto EL does 1700rpm @100km/h :happy:

Howdy,just as a note seats from a honda prelude (equivalent year) bolt into an AE82 so it may be worth some measuring to see about an AE92.....they're damn comfortable,much better than the standard toyota fare :-( Honda better=Fail

Cheers

 

What's wrong with the standard AE82 TC seats? Aside from lacking a _little_ in side support (the bolsters are there, but a bit "plush" instead of firm) they are close to the most comfortable stock seats of that era that I have sat in.

 

And on topic, my AE102 (with C52, same box as an AE92 SX or AE82TC but possibly different final drive ratio) does bang-on 3000rpm @ 100km/h (on 205/45/R16 tyres). Means I can max out the speedo @ 200km/h before hitting redline too :blinks:

hi guys

thank you for that tip, i will check it out. also i have checked vaccum hoses, replaced the thermostat and given the throttle body a good blast with carby clean. all is good. thanks everybody cheers mark

My AE92 Csi does about 3000rpm or just under while doing 100kmph on the freeway.....Thats with exhaust and some other stuff tho

 

And i don't like that comment about thats what it does before the clutch goes, i think my clutch is dying at the moment :bash:

Depends which gear i am in hee hee

The rpm of my seca at 100kph tends to depend on the temperature outside.

 

on really hot days it will be about 3200rpm. on cooler days it's around 2900rpm.

 

strange....

i have a Holden Nova 1990, AE82 4A-FC, with full exhaust system. in 5th at 100k i'm about 2800-3000, in 4th about 3400-3600

Same with mine, though its a sedan.

 

Cold/cool days around 2950-3000rpm. Warm/hot days between 3000-3100rpm.

 

Makes you wonder how accurate the rev gauge really is... :lol:

Our '90 AE92 seca (4afc) sits on about 2900 at 100kays in 5th.

Younger brother's ae93 with 7afe and 5sp manual does 3000rpm approx at 100km/hr stock standard, no idea ratio of final drive, tyres are 185/60r14.

 

Our ke55 with worked 4k, 4sp manual, 4.3 diff, and 195/60r14 tyres does approx 3900rpm at 100km/hr - worked out mathematically....
