Hi Avanza owners

Avanza manual comes with 4.875 final drive, but if modify to 4.1 final drive the TRUE vehicle speed will increase by 18.9% so when the meter shows 100 it's actually 118.9 km/h

It is more fuel economical and when drive at 6,500 rpm using 1.85 tyre circumference get: -

1st_3.769_39km/h
2nd_2.045_72km/h
3rd_1.376_108km/h
4th_1.000_148km/h
5th_0.838_177km/h
rev_4.128_36km/h
4.875 final drive

With the 4.1

1st_3.769_47
2nd_2.045_86
3rd_1.376_128
4th_1.000_176
5th_0.838_210
rev_4.128_43
4.1 final drive

old versus new
039_47_faster by 7
072_86_faster by 14
108_128_faster by 20
148_176_faster by 28
177_210_faster by 33
036_43_faster by 7

But up hill will be a little bit more difficult, especially when full load. This mod is only for people who are sure they will not go to genting often / seldom. If go genting once a year never mind lah, OK one. If go every week then cannot lah. Sure feel the lack of power to climb hill.


Fuel economy at the price of up hill power or full load capability.


So, who is willing to modify for FREE ..................... some conditions apply when volunteer is serious and meet face to face. I'll prepare agreement letter to satisfy both parties :)

rpm for rpm and empty load, sure tapau other avanza :)


Oh BTW, the 4.1 final drive is mechanically stronger than the 4.875 by around 20% also.
