H22a Turboed, but which transmission?
I'm planning on doing an H22a swap + turbo into my 95' Honda Accord and was wondering which transmission I should use. I have the choice of using the Accord F22 transmission (which I already have) or picking up a JDM H22a (non-LSD) transmission. I'm going to buy a Quaife LSD and put it into whatever transmission I run on the H22. I was told to use the F22 due to it having longer gears which is better for boost. Is this true? Basically looking for some opinions and what not on this ... here are the gear ratios of both transmission. Thanks for any help / advice (in advance)
F22 (P2U5):
1st = 3.307
2nd = 1.809
3rd = 1.185
4th = 0.933
5th = 0.685
H22 (M2A4):
1st = 3.307
2nd = 1.950
3rd = 1.160
4th = 1.034
5th = 0.787

nope that transmission wont help you because its longer gears,when on the dyno you will make power at a certain rpm and you wanna get to that rpm as soon as possible.i hope u understand.

I have heard the F22 tranny is better for street use because the tranny does not cause as much wheel spin or traction problems. I heard te H22 tranny is far better the 1/4 mile because it gets you through the much faster as a result of reving quicker. What turbo manifold and inter-cooler piping do you plan to use?

I've heard of people replacing the 5th gear......which would be nice - I really don't care though beacuse I kind of like the short gears - won't be visiting the track anytime soon anyway.

Hmmm I heard that you couldnt replace the 5th gear because 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear were some how tied together and only all 3 could be replaced and not just one ...

24.5 tall slick or even 26 if ya could the heigt of the tire changes gear ratio
