Re: long geared single cam tranny
a single cam tranny too short? that must be some kind of joke... most people want shorter gears, your going in the opposite direction son, oh wait your probably going to try and argue that longer gears are better for boost right?

Re: long geared single cam tranny
well yea long gear = being in boost longer right, plus i dont want to be driving down the street on a 45 on 4th gear and since i drive on the freeway all the time right now when im doing 60-70mph the car is at 3500-4000 andrpm that just sucks

I would recommend the DX tranny as well. CX tranny is just TOO long. haha. CX is like taking 2nd gear to 80 X.X [I don't know the exact speed 2nd goes to but I was in a coupe with a mini me and a cx tranny. haha.]

Re: long geared single cam tranny
So why don't you build a tranny with just 1 REALLY long gear? Fact is the shorter the gears the faster the car, don't believe the BS, Keep what you have you will be so frustrated with a long gear tranny, you will fall out of boost between shifts and your car willb e slow as ****!!
more like 3600rpm is what you should be at around 70mph, how does that suck? whats wrong with that? my b16 is at 4000rpm at 70 and i could care less...

probably worried about gas...but i have a question, would a 00 EX fit my 92 LX perfect? the only thing thats diff on the EX is shorter gears and the 96-00 have a diff speed sensor right?

Re: long geared single cam tranny
honestly i'd keep the ex/si transmission you have and just swap in a cx 5th gear. gears 1-4 will be great for a turbo'd d series and that long *** 5th will be great for the highway, something like 2300rpms at ~80mph or something around those numbers.

Re: long geared single cam tranny
find a 5th gear from a L3 HF tranny, it'll fit on your hydro P20 trans.
my HF trans has me at 2250rpms at 75mph in 5th gear

Re: long geared single cam tranny
you'd have to find a donor, Honda discontinued the HF 5th Counter Gear, they still sell the main gear, but thats useless without the matched set. your best bet is to find a HF trans and rip the 5th out of it, also use the bearings and spacers from the hf 5th

Re: long geared single cam tranny
ya thah sounds right. And yes a longer tranny is better for boost. Depending on how much u run u will rip through gears too fast, not only that if your not going to have LSD a shorter tranny will spin more tires causing you to be slower becuase you have no traction. And if you dont wanna open a tranny and change the gears around (which alot of ppl dont know how to do) then you will get ****ed. As a EX tranny is too short to be on the highway with. If your @ 3800-4000 @ 70MPH then your ****ed. You cant be boosting for all that time, your **** will blow up.

Re: long geared single cam tranny
At 40mph in 4th gear i'm at 3,200rpms with a b16 4.785 final drive. I used an LS fifth gear for freeway driving (5th gear / 80 mph / 4,000rpms) . I'd advise you do what the other gentleman said about the HF fifth gear with a shorter 1-4. I LOVE it and do plan to boost on it too

Gears are not Boost or NA dependent, that is a myth, a wives tale!!
