I'm still deciding on whether to get a jdm itr tranny (4.7fd and lsd) or a header (rmf dtr smsp etc), however i'm not sure which one to get. I currently have a b16 tranny but i hear the 4.7 fd and the lsd is a night and day difference compared to the 4.4fd and no lsd. I use to own a dtr header however i sold it to go turbo and now i'm back to all motor.

so between the two which one would you get?
a header or a jdm itr tranny?

 

If you have another header to put on the car in the meanwhile, I would do tranny.

 

if i was going to get a tranny i was probably just going to buy a cheap jdm itr 4-1 header since i couldn't afford a rmf header haha. but right now i'm running a gsr manifold since i got a for free so anything would be better than that haha

 

find a used custom header and get a FD kit. then youll have both.

well i would also have to get a lsd, and i figured the cost of a fd kit and a lsd is almost the same price as a used jdm itr tranny.

 

honda lsds are like 350, an fd can be more than 200, and a used header, like 500. then pay 200 for install on the tranny stuff and youve got 1250 into it.

 

put your $$ to the tranny first...

 

4.7FD w/ LSD &gt; Header

 

tranny for sure. It will make a bigger difference.

 

the itr tranny for sure, FD and LSD own

 

tranny for sure. The above quoted figures are a little off. I don't know where you are going to find someone to install a final drive and LSD with the R&R for 200.00.

 

yea i second that find a used 4-1 mani. and get the itr tranny. i have an all-motor gsr and i cant tell you how much i liked to have shorter gearing right now .

 

tranny!

Then hit up ebay and get one of those megan 2.5" collector headers for 199$, not bad for the money, and they are very well made!

 

get the transmission.

 

the jdm itr tranny has shitty 4th and 5th gears.....

I say 4.9 final, itr lsd, and toda header.

Get deals/ hookups/ used parts if you can.

 

I would concentrate on emphasizing the powerband you want at a certain rpm. That would call first for a custom header or a predesigned one that is closely calculated for your setup. If there is more power to be found even with stock cams, i would go that route first.

 

The trans will make you quicker than the header and make your car more fun to drive as well--do the important stuff first. Its a no brainer--trans. Plus you get the LSD. In addition you can sell your original trans for more than you could sell a shitty header for.
