you also can't modify the inside of a b series tranny to take one either. I would give up on the idea

only way to do a 6-speed on your car is to do a K swap

Listen broski. Dont stress it. If you like having a low gear on the highway just get a GSR trans and put an LS 5th gear in it. Not really worth it. Stick with the b16.

You know the thing that kills me about these threads is people don't understand the gearing. You don't get an extra high gear the addition of a 6th gear, lol

i'll give you an example.....

The 02-04 RSX, the 1st gear and 5th gear in a base model, are the "same" gears found on the 1st gear and 6th gear on the 6 speed type S model. The "only" advantage you get, is the gearing in between.

you dont get a high gear. It just another gear. If anything it helps get better Gas mileage.

Ive seen one in Thailand b18c block with a b16b head, never seen on a b16a before accept in GT4 hihi, a custom gearbox will do but it cost more then a k swap..

I think you should boost the K, you get your boost and you get your six speeds.

another alternative: F2K. Keep your F20, keep it FWD, and you have 6 speeds!
