I have a stock b16a2 and i was wondering what options i had for a tranmission with a sixth gear. I do a quite a bit of long distance runs and majoirity of the time speeding. what can i swap?

You can call up a company like ProDrive and have them build you a custom tranny. Expect it to cost somewhere in the neighborhood of about $10k though.

There are no factory 6-speed options for the B series....sadly.

Ha, well that wont be happening. i only got the car for 2900 it was a repo i bought from the bank two years ago. huge steal. they didnt know what it really was.

I believe you could throw an Integra LS 5th gear in your Si tranny. That way, you keep gears 1-4 short and close, and have a long 5th for cruising.

I'm planning on trying that on mine once I get up the motivation. 4300 rpm @ 80mph ftl

Ahh... i see, i hate cruisin at 90mph bustin 5k... kills gas milage too! lemme know how that works out. im going to look into.

it actually runs good in a tranny like that.. I know that when your racing ur long distances it doesn't really drop too many rpms either when you go from 4th to 5th... honestly it is an awesome combo.. or u could just buy a gsr tranny to put in ur car.. longer gears than an Si but shorter than and Ls

or you can get a type r tranny...

my tranny does 4700 rpms at 80.......

cinci00si

well i run about 4700 around 80 and a solid 5k at 90. unless you think it will drop it a lot itd kinda pointless? im asking not saying?

from what I've heard (I've never actually seen one) an LS 5th gear puts you around 3600 - 3700 rpm at 80. Which is much much better than 4200, and pretty comparable to say, the 6th gear in an RSX.

LOL guess it's time for me to hit the pick n pull and start tearing apart old teg trannys.

cinci00si

hmmm im gunna give a call to to this guy at slowmotionmotorsport n see what he thinksk?

Brycen

hmm i would say get the GSR or what i was gonna do was get a type R casue my 5th gear at 60 is around 3500 rpms.I have an s21 Del sol tranny that i hate .
