Is it worth bothering with? I'd lose about 600 dollars and id have to change from a cable to hydro...


this to this
1st 3.31 --- 3.23
2nd 2.11 --- 2.11
3rd 1.46 --- 1.46
4th 1.11 --- 1.03
5th .088 --- .079
final 4.40 --- 4.785

8k rpm's for now but will be 9k rpm's with sc61

 

i'd say No ..
just because of the conversion

only difference is 4th, 5th, & final
going to be street or track?

from cable YS1 - to - hydro gsr w/ itr final, right?

 

Damn you're good ...yeah it's a ys1 gsr and the jdm type-r which is a gsr tranny with the 4.785 final drive (I could be wrong? If i am please correct me!)...

Street driven car but i wouldn't quite call it a daily driver...

 

It looks like a JDM ITR tranny. 1st one is the same gearing as a B16a hydro tranny except 1st is 3.23 and 5th is 0.84. A USDM GSR tranny has a 1.90 2nd and a 1.36 3rd, but 4th and 5th are the same

I wouldn't, but you do need a longer trany if your going boost. Because you'll find that you'll runout of gear quickly when you start building power with that turbo.

 

For the gearing I say no too... For the actual tranny I would, but that's just me as I can't stand cable trannies... Maybe when they were brand new but never have I felt a cable that is as smooth or has the little play that a hydro tranny... I'm working on converting Mike (jdmDXrex's) Rex to hydro using a stock clutch master cylinder under the dash... 2point2 showed me a few pics of his H22 Rex and it really isn't all that bad... The part that's the most work is just buying or making a passenger side upper mount which works with the hydro tranny and the cable chassis (could buy Hasport new conversion but then you have to buy the whole kit)... Just my $0.02

Not necessarily, it all depends on how much power he'll be making, slick size used, etc... If he's planning on 350-550whp then there's nothing wrong with using his stock YS1 (which already has pretty tight gearing) in combination with 24.5-25" slicks... In this power range and above we typically stick with straight GSR's... Duc's car with a little bit more power is requiring Scott (CrazyCompression) and me to do a little custom gearing...

 

that's what I was thinking too. I'm going to run a GSR tranny with ATS 1st gear, but everything else stock GSR. I figured I'm not going to run out of gear until I start trapping more than about 135 or so. A buddy of mine is using an LS tranny with ATS 1st and a 4.40 final drive to give him a little more topend.

 

Brian has plenty of gear left with his setup... Trapping at ~136mph he's only at 8500rpm in 4th on 25" tall slicks and a GSR tranny... It makes power to ~9500rpm so as you can imagine that'll get you into the 140's with slicks around the same diameter...

 

your right, I keep forgetting about the tire size.

450 at the track and 350 daily is what I'd like and I'm running 24.5" tall slicks...
