OK, I have been back to this thread a million times for the charts, may as well post my set up here. I have an 01 insight 5 speed. apparently the FD is swappable with the 01-05 D17 gear boxes. I want to swap the D17 with HX trans and Insight 3.2 FD. Engine will be turbocharged and I estimate a 200whp output. Turbo is Garrett GT2554r. Tires 175/50/16 HP summer Yokohama. I will have plenty of power but I also want to hypermile the car on my commute. At 2350 rpm I will be at 70mph. My only question is will the RPM be too low for cruising and light acceleration. Car will weigh less than 1900lbs If this works out well I might try a D15 de-stroker.
