Longer gears means higher MPH in a given gear

im actually running a dx until i fix my si, but all i all, si is better. period. unless your just lookin for fuel economy. that would be one reason to have the dx i guess

people say "well a LS tranny is awesome for turbo d series", while forgetting that an B series LS tranny and sohc vtec ex/si tranny are almost identical gearing wise.

stick with the ex/si

i think you meant either LS and B-series, or dx and d-series. but i get the point. and i think you are right as well. the ex/si may be the most closely geared d-series tranny, while the gears and still tall enough to make it the best for boost.

The EX/SI tranny is the best for a turbod SOHC ,hands down..do not try the DX it will be a waste of your time trust me...

also stay far away from the POS Cx tranny https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif

Or try to find a JDM D15 tranny, it has an LSD on it...

or ZC tranny with SI final drive.

true that

yeah the lsd tranny would be the best obviously, and alot cheaper than buying a quaife. ZC tranny is a cable tranny. So unless you want to convert from hydro to cable, it wont work.
