Default just came across some money your thoughts

For some odd reason, 1200 bucks just fell into my pocket.
Now i'm running a stock jdm gsr tranny no lsd, i need something shorter i know.. my question or dilemma if u would, is this.

Do i
a) get a new itr/ctr/b16 tranny with lsd ?
b) get a new narrow smsp/rmf/bismoto header and make some mods to my exhaust to support a big collector?
c) your thoughts.

anything i'm entertaining here i have no idea right now, this just came as a sudden grace of god..

get an itr tranny, sell your jdm gsr tranny...
then find an edelbrock header and mod the collector to 2.5 inches.

i would say get an itr 4.7 and an ls 5th gear, no reason to buy a fully itr tranny.

then use whats left for a hytch copy header, and then keep some for beer

you're ignorant.

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1203006

that's why edelbrock with a 2.5 modded collector made 215whp, 145tq
and smsp made 217whp, 143tq
on an lsvtec built by eugene@prostreetimport.

garbage huh? similar numbers to a thousand dollar smsp header for almost 1/4 the price?

apologiiiiiize

B16 trans with 4.7 FD ITR LSD Here and effin hate driving the car anymore. If you decide to go with a 4.7 trans I reccomend going with a LS 5th gear. I honestly dont even drive the car much anymore due to the "unrelaxed" feeling on the highway reving to the moon just to keep up with traffic.

Same here, but I imagine you make trips to the track, shows and meets correct? My trans WILL come apart AGAIN this winter for a 5th gear swap. Boo..... I am not excited, though it will be worth the trouble.

A sparks racing header is normally a copy of the SMSP design header not the Edelbrock. If you already have a header of that nature, I doubt you'll gain much by purchasing the real thing. That only leaves one other option...buy the ITR tranny with an LSD.

My suggestions:
1. I know your car is white, so a JDM front end would be sick.
2. How about ditch the gsr block and get a B20 with 85 or 86 mm sleeves?
3. Type 2 coilovers + rebuilding the gsr tranny with 4.9 FD and hardened gears.

Just sume suggestions

that b16/kaaz trans setup sounds nice.

you should really consider the edelbrock dude, machine welds are usually pretty solid. I can tell you're a big smsp guy but consider the facts.

grab that bisimoto header which is an excellent buy and invest in a obx lsd for about 400 bucks. Then try and scavenge a few hunderd bucks abd get a ats 4.9....interstate will suck but your 1/4 mile will improve drastically i can guaranteed you that!

I think the itr trans is plenty dude, I drove a 4.71 fd in a prelude for a while and it wasn't too bad, though it did take a hit in mpg.

Good way to spend it I would say.

you call the edelbrock crap, yet you call your sparks header, which you failed to mention that you have, the same as the edelbrock? lol it's a direct copy of the smsp header, which you listed as an option??
and it's not the same, the headers are designed differently.

either way still less than half to get the edelbrock and mod it. depends which smsp header you get. he has stainless, etc.
pointless looking at it if you got the knock off version in the sparks.

i'm glad u took the time to quote me in my thread, in which i didn't even give an edelbrock header a second thought, i simplely asked for a tranny or different header setup such as a custom header, not some production header, u didn't prove anything in quote me expect your at a lost for time...stop posting in my thread. gg.

I'm guessing you are young.
If 1200$ fell into my lap, I don't think I'd be so ready to give it up.
Why spend it at all....I'd put that sh*t in a 401k, savings account, or a mutual fund.
Just another perspective for you....I have a feeling its gonna get spent regardless...

lol he supposedly has a sparks racing header, which is a direct knock off of an smsp header, and he was thinking about spending some of his extra money to get the smsp LOL. that kind of defeats the purpose of getting the sparks in the first place, but then again, he IS a genius....... . . . . . . . . . .
