tranny question??

my friend is getting the b20 vtec turbo we were wondering if its ok if he just gets the si tranny or should he get a a better one or a certain one..or...does not really matter??????

The Si tranny is a good choice. Faster acceleration than the GS-R, but won't keep you in as high of a rev during highway driving as the Type R one would.

...so your saying the si tranny wont have as high rev as the type R....????about how much is the si tranny and also the type R if you have any idea>>??????

How high the engine can rev has nothing to do with the transmission. The gearing in the transmission will determine how quickly you get to a certain RPM (accelerate). What I ment was that at, say 65mph, you'll be at a slightly lower RPM with the Si (b16a) tranny that with a Type R tranny. Ok, maybe this will help him decide, ask him these questions:

Is he worried about gas mileage at all (no, slightly, or definently)? Is he soley looking for the fastest acceleration? Is he willing to pay a few hundred more for faster acceleration and a stock Honda LSD?

As for price, I have no clue. The Type R will definently be more expensive though. My friend told me he knows a place to get GS-R ones from between $700-900, so expect to pay around there. However, checking classified sections of forums could get you one for far cheaper, I'm sure.

I have a trans for sale out of a 94 del sol VTEC. Essentially a si trans. I could work out a buy it now if you are interested, or your buddy.

<-----LS Tranny.......23 miles per gallon baby......
Basically Si/Type-R/GSR tranny is for better acceleration
LS Tranny better gas mileage and about a 170mph top speed (if you had the power).....

let me talk to my homie....ill let him know....thanks for the offer....can i get a rough estimate by any chance......

well the reserve is set at 250.00.....so thats a rough estimate i suppose.

Fastest acceleration would be the Type R. Personally I'd get the GS-R. I'm not interested in just fastest acceleration and I do care about gas mileage.

ok ill get back to you on that ....i gotta talk to my friend.....ill let you know...............

ok thanks alot you helped so much.....i gotta tell him all the info.....thanks again!!!!!!!:smokin:

i have question about tranny.the si tranny seems to be best for acceleration. I have heard of putting in an ls 5th gear for gas millaege. would a 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear from an si a 4th from a gsr and a 5th from an ls work?
