92 vx d15b swap plus boost
well i picked up my first eg and had a few questions....first of all i am gettin a d15b from hmotors and was wondering if the vx trans would bea good choice or f i should go with the trans they sell with the motor....i plan on building a homeade turbo kit very soon after i get the motor(prolly b4 i put it in)was just wondering if anyone has had experience with this combo...also i only plan on running about 7 psi or so on the street....thanks
well i answered my own question on the trans....any other suggestions as far as the motor goes??

VTi motor (D15B) is a great turbo platform - i'm scared the comp isn't low enough though.. Bense has a good idea of what's great for low comp turbo platform - and GREAT knowledge about trannys too.

Re: (axtran)
DO NOT USE THE VX TRANNY!!! They are geared for mpg and definately not for speed. Use the tranny that comes with your motor or use a DX,SI/EX. How much boost you can run on a stock motor usually depends on the tune. With a good tune you can run 7psi on high test. You might want to get a better fuel pump, maybe some injectors, and a fuel pressure reg. You should try d-series.org...they have a bunch of boosted single cams. Good luck!

Re: (92_VX_EG)

i will tell u from recent experience do not use the vx/cx tranny with the d15b is is slow as dog **** runnin backwords. i have a d15b with an 92-95 ex/si tranny and just regular bolt ins (i/h/e etc..) i love the way the car feels and i still get pretty good gas mpg. i keep up with cars that i know are alot faster than mine ... wither way u wonty be disapointed the car is very responsive when u hit the gas.. no hesitation what-so-ever. let me know how the boost goes i plan on boosting mine soon or going to the K side lol
