Default high hp hondas.... high hp trannies?

hey whats up guys....... i was jsut wondering what kind of tranny set-ups u high hp honda's (270hp+) got going, because i always here about hwo to get all the power, but i never seem to see anything on how u guys keep it to the ground without breaking anything?

am i wrong in thinking that stock b series tranny's are not strong enough to keep up with the power.....?

I don't have the killer HP's, but the stock Gsr trans held up three years of turbo for me.

ive never heard of anyone having a built 5speed tranny in a honda...i know several people with high HP hondas with stock trannies...

if you break it, either re-build it if possible or buy a new/used one.

the dif is the weakest part. throw in a quaiffe, and its good for some serious power. axles become the biggest problem.

I think he ment that the trannis are good for 600hp, there is no way the axles would take it with any kind of traction.

i think most of the 5 spd guys end up just replacing/rebuilding the trans every so many runs or something..

up to around 600whp all you must worry about is the diff and axles.

600+ diff ring gear comes into play and bearings wear out fast.

Aside from that, thats pretty much it. Honda builds a very nice trans.
