SPOON - CLOSE RATIO GEAR KIT
The Spoon Cross Gear set for the Civic EP3 and Integra DC5 replaces with fifth and sixth ratio’s with shorter and more track suitable ratios for fast road and race purposes.
The standard long ratios are designed for economy and comfort, they allow a high (70-80mph) speed cruising at lower engine RPMS. Whilst this avoids using the K20 VTEC cam to save on fuel, it is not the optimum arrangement to best use the K20’s engine power and torque.
Spoon have reduced the 5th and 6th gear ratios to shorten them and allow the user to better use the power and increase acceleration in the higher gears. Achievable top speed will be reduced and become realistic.
Many customers comment this is the single most circuit beneficial medication they make to their vehicle.
