Technical 1242 16v gearbox ratios

[mgb1978]

Hi all, could anyone tell me the Ratios for 1st Gear and the Final Drive Ratio for the box on a 2001 1242 16v Bravo ?
I have fitted the engine from this into a Sei (using a Sei sporting 'box) and find that I'm hitting the rev limiter slightly earlier than I would like.
I'm using the car for Autotests (so just 1st and reverse).
If there is a difference between ratios on either 1st gear or final drive between either 'box then i would prefer to go with the 'box that will give me a 'longer' 1st.
Any info appreciated.
MODs, also asked on the Bravo section but thought I might get a response here as many have used this engine in the Sei.

What wheels are you using?

My guess is that the ratios for the Bravo will be shorter than the Sei (because the gearing is closer and because it uses bigger wheels).

Using 13"'s....for a couple of reasons...to keep the front as low as possible compared to the rear for one.
Really looking for a numerical answer to this rather than just a guess....don't want to sound snotty but...

According to carfolio final drive is 3.87 doesn't list 1st gear ratio one of the sites usually do

For the Bravo, no idea, and I'm not looking. ll the ratios will be either in the Owner Handbook or the factory manual.

For the Punto, J333EVO posted the ratios up years ago -- an advanced search will find.

But the easiest way to change the gearing is simply to change the wheels/tyres.

Probably in there somewhere seems to list everything else possible
