hi all
i have b20 block b16a head but im asking about the transmission
can i put 6 speed transmission?
if i can what kind transmission i used?

 

As of right now there is no 6-speed that will bolt to any b-series motor that I know of (Unless it is custom-made).

Not at a price point that is cost effective.

 

Depends on how bad you want it. You should be the first to put a K20A2 tranny on a B series Good luck

 

quaife makes custom sequential shift trannies (5 or 6 spd) that cost upwards of 10,000

have fun with that - it would probably cost as much for a one off...

They're actually $20,000+ with a shifter assembly. They're not the most street-friendly gearboxes either, what with straight-cut gears and dog engagement instead of synchromesh. I'm also not sure if they have a complete gearbox application for engines that spin counterclockwise, nor is a Honda bell housing listed on their site, though you could give them a call and ask.

They do have a very nice synchromesh 5-speed gear kit for B-series transmissions for $3,000. The dog engagement gear kit is more than double that at $6,700 though.

Even if he were able to fab up a custom bell housing, it would be useless - the B-series engine spins counterclockwise, while the K-series transmission is designed for an engine that spins clockwise. He'd have 1 forward gear and 6 reverses. Then he'd have to mount the engine backwards on the opposite side of the bay so that the differential would be in-line with the hubs to install axles . . . by this time, you've spent so much time, money, and labor trying to get it working that you've effectively exceeded the cost of buying a better car.

So, q8delsol, it's pretty much pointless as you can see.

5 gears should be enough for most if not all purposes anyway.

K24 CR-Vs do not have a 6-speed transmission - only a 5-speed manual ('02-06), a 4-speed automatic ('02-04), or a 5-speed automatic ('05+).

 

6 speeds are worthless.

1st gear on 6 speeds are worthless, better to use 2-6.


upgrade your B trans, there's several aftermarket compononets available

 

If your shelling out the money for that you already have money to upgrade your brakes/suspension/wheel/tires etc right?

 

i have a money and i want do it but how?
about the k20
the K20 engine spins the opposite direction, and is set in the engine bay the opposite way. There is no way to get it to work. Even if you did, you would have 6 reverse gears and one forward.

any other way!!!

 

Obviously if you were going to put it on a b series you would fab an adaptor plate and put the motor in backwards... and still may not work because the the position of how the axles line up, not leaving enough room between the firewall.

 

I just want to know why you want/need a 6 speed transmission?
IMO, the cheapest way and easiest way to have a 6 speed tranny is just buy a car that already comes stock with a 6 speed tranny.

I ******* hate people like you. You're ******* 19 years old god damn it! Learn some fiscal responsability. You do not need to ******* waste that much money on a car to make it 6 speed. Even IF you really did have enough money, you're obviously too stupid too realize its not worth it.

/rant. Sorry man, do not take it personal. You'll thank me in a few years.

If you have cash to throw around and you're married to your little B20 engine - which is a lame platform upon which to build anything - you can spend $20k or nothing.

If you want a six-speed and a motor upgrade, you can pay around $8k to do a complete I/H/E/Hondata K20A2 swap with a 6-speed into your Civic.

I say go with option B and then leave this website forever. Your kind are not welcomed here.

 

Why do u want a 6th speed? Do you want lower revs at highway speeds? Maybe just change the size of the 5th speed gear.
