i was wondering if a trans with a longer gear ratio would b better for my d16y8 turbo set up?

Gearing for turbocharged cars is heavily opinionated subject matter. I personally think you'd be better off with the Y8 tranny.

alright ty

the civic hatchback STD model with the four speed trans has long gears.

You should try a tranny from a VX...

The gears are soooo long!

As an example, in my VX 70mph + 3rd gear = 3500RPMs

70mph + 5th gear = 2000RPMs...

I think you could go about 95 in 3rd without hitting the redline

Don't know if it would be good for a turbo application, but those are about the longest gears you are going to get...
