Car: 97 integra GSR turbo dynoed at 509 whp / 329 tq.

Tranny :LS

Best time with 22x8x15 slicks: 11.36 @ 131.

The car spun until the 1/8 mile mark.

So I figured I needed more traction.

I tried 26x8.5 x 14 slicks .. best e.t: 11.64 @ 128

The problem is the long *** gears with the LS tranny, the problem gets a lot worse with the 26'' slicks

So, I have two choices : either I get a SiR tranny and keep the 26'' slicks or I go with 24 x 9.2 x 15 slicks and keep the LS.

What do you think ?

 

get a b16 trans with the tall slicks and go from there. a 25x8.7x13 will probably work best. what are you shifting at? what does the car weigh? with the proper setup 500whp should let you run high 10s.

 

I need 15 '' minimum because I got 11'' brakes.

I shift at 9000 rpm, on the balance the car weights 2660 without driver.

24'' slicks / LS tranny, or 26'' slicks / SiR tranny ?

 

Get a b16 tranny... id suggest 25's, but if u cant fit them, then there goes that idea..

You might try a MH 24.5x8.5x15..I believe they make that size. I would get a GSR tranny personally..

 

get a gsr tranny or a b16sir tranny. the ls trany i never liked. i have b16 tranny in my teg and i love it.

 

get yourself a b16 tranny and the car will go tens......

 

Wouldn't the shorter gears make you use fifth gear in the quarter?

 

not revving to 9000rpm

 

how is it that you can go 140mph and only be at the end of 4th gear? the gsr tranny can only go to 142mph

rev higher

 

Thats on stock tires which are something like a 22 or so inch slick. Now throw on a 26" slick and the gearing is longer. I think with a 9K redline the gsr tranny will go out to 160's in fourth gear if i remember correctly. They have a tire/speed calculator out there somewhere for honda's. I forget the site.

yep, rev higher, and you can go alot faster then 142mph bud..

 

i am setting my car up with a cable b16 tranny and reving to car to 9800 25" slick

Does anyone have the link to this site? I have done a few calculators that you need to enter in all the numbers which kind of sucks...but I have seen one that already has all the honda trannies in a dropdown box which is nice. Anyone know what site I am talking about?

 

go buy a b16 tranny and a new set of slicks. and try both ways.
