ok guys i need some advice.. right now i have a CF9 accord with a f22b sohc vtec.. i want it manual... can i use a h22a setup?

 

i believe the H and F series trannys are interchangeable.

 

yes u can. get ready for crappy gas mileage though. car will be very responsive though.

gear ratios has nothing to do with throttle response. it'll just feel like its more responsive due to the shorter gears and quicker acceleration.

 

yes but i never said more throttle response.

 

thanks alot... i really wanna start to work on the car u jus need to be sure.. so the gear ratios on d h22a and f22b are the same?

 

no, the gear ratios are different. The h tranny should have shorter gears than the f tranny. Meaning, in the f tranny when you were doing 70mph the rpm guage read 2k rpm, now with the h tranny when your doing 70mph the rpm guage will read 3k rpm. Now those aren't the actual numbers you'll see, I don't know exactly, I'm just giving you an example of what it means to have a shorter geared tranny in your car.

 

hmmmm.... is this good or bad??

 

you would be more in your powerband but you would get worse gas milage.

it's really up to you and what your looking for. I have a D16Y8 motor and tranny in my 92 hatch and it has shorter gears and I like it over the gearing my Accord had. I don't know what a H tranny feels like because I've never driven one but I plan to chage that soon

 

to break it down simple. shorter gears = quicker acceleration but lower top speed and decreased gas mileage because you'll be at higher RPMs then you useto be at to be at the same speed.

 

thanks alot.. jus one question... is the conversion is worth going for? i also wanna boost but where i'm from... u wont believe how hard it is to get parts and also how costly they are...

Thats a question only you can answer for yourself. Is it worth it to YOU?

It may be worth it to some people but not others and for various reasons.

 

i real wanna do it... hmmmmm jus for the fun of it... wat about boost? what exactly will i need to get.. can i boost usin the stock internals?

 

I don't know much about boost, you should probably start doing a lot of research in this forum as well as the FI forum. There is a lot of info on boosting Accords on this site.

 

a lot of people prefer the f tranny if they go turbo... longer gears is more time in boost.
