ok here is the problem....

i want to get the car up to 550-600whp next year!
wasnt enough time this year to get their this year.

the stock lsd needs to be upgraded,
do i up grade the stock itr tranny, or get an other tranny
do the lsd in it?

i like the gearing in the r, so i probably would go with the b16 tranny?

what do yall think about cryogenic treating for the tranny?

what have yall done?

 

get a nice clutch that can hold the power and shift properly, the tranny can take it.

shifting properly and 600 whp dont always come easily

i would recommend carbon synchros from gearspeed

it only takes a few mistakes with that kind of power to own your tranny

some say its all user error....

but thats partially horse ****, if you have 600 whp, good clutch or not, the tranny wasnt designed for 600 whp, and neither were the synchros

rev matching will help a ton and smooth shifts, but like i said...with 600 whp...i would get axles, clutch, lsd, carbon synchros

it would be about the same as putting 50lbs of weight on a glass window that was designed to support 20lbs. Do it softly and your probably ok, but sooner or later it's going to break

 

Might as well run a spool with that power.

The problem will come when the syncro's dont fully engage during a full throttle upshift and you're left half-way in the gear. Thats when the gear will explode.

You might get some better responses from the folks in the FI forum seeing as there are a bunch of 500+whp Hondas, but only a handful of them are ITR's.

 

Also from what Marshal said, if your hell bent on sticking with the R tranny at that power level, be prepaired to have the biggest left leg known to man. You will be shifting ALOT. Ever consider an LS tranny? Or possibly throwing in a taller FD?

600whp doesn't make shifting any more difficult.

What kind of problems have you personally run into?

I've run a 10 second 1/4 mile with stock gears. The car had a good clutch and LSD, but otherwise was stock. It was no harder to shift than a stock ITR.

Do you have any firsthand experience or are you talking out of your ***? You always just seem to bitch and moan about how weak Honda trannies are, just because you don't how to shift properly.

 

Contact the guys as LHT performance in Tampa, FL. There is a guy there, John who has over 500 WHP in an R.

 

Kaaz LSD plus Kaaz taller final....longer first would be nice too

select your clutch accordingly....

 

.....just keep the stock itr tranny and go from there.

If it's good enough for 9's, it's good enough for you:

the tranny is coming down to do a main bearing.

i have a ACT extreme clutch and pp.

i wanna do an lsd! i have a buddy with a EG hatch pushing 648whp.....he is on his 2ed ls tranny and broke 1 b16 tranny and a gsr tranny....all within 2years.

 

i can go tru 5 tranny in a month

but when u drive a high hp car you have to use ur brain a bit

or u gonna spent a sh|t load of $$$
