i have a y7 motor and was just wondering will i gain anything from throwing a y8 tranny on it... i heard it has better gearing for a slight increase in acceleration is this tru??

 

way better gearing,especially if you went mini me

 

cool cuz those trannies are dirt cheap

 

everything d series is dirt cheap

 

lol yea thats tru... its my dialy so i dont want nuttin crazy im bout to order an exedy stage 1 clutch and throw that y8 tranny on it my boys got one for 100 bucks mint

 

Go ahead and do it, especially if its only 100 bucks..

good deal!!! wish i could get **** that cheap. lol

 

yeah, gearing is better - gearing should be the same as a 92-95 si tranny except with steel shift forks:

So its gonna feel quicker but run out of gear sooner... perfect if you do a mini-me though.

 

It increased the daily driving fun in my y7.

Another good cheap upgrade is an ex header.

And/or an ex intake manifold.

Let's the engine breath a bit better. Gives it some bottom end. I'm glad I did/doing the above.

Really the only thing worth noting in the ex/dx difference in gear ratio's is the final drive.

 

i wouldnt do the intake manifold swap i heard its a waste of time no real gain with it and i already have aftermarket headers on my y7 so no-can-do on the ex header

 

EX tranny ftw, bro. Throw in a slightly lighter flywheel while you're doing the clutch swap. It'll respond quite nicely.

Incorrect, if they are installed properly and torqued to spec.
I have had my fidanza flyhweel in for 7 months now, and i dont regret a thing

Stock weight is like ~17 or 18 lbs ( around there)
My fidanza is ~10.
Makes a noticable difference in feel right off the bat.

 

oh ok thats awesome... do u have a link or something to where i can get that flywheel?? because i know fidanza makes a few of em so i wanna get it right

 

I went with a Competition 12 lb. Ran about two bills.. through Phantasmusa.com

I love it. Revs/accelerates a lot quicker than stock.

Only precaution, from what I hear, once you get much lighter you run into hassles with street use. Not sure where the ~ cut-off weight is, though. I wouldn't go down to 8 or anything.

 

yea thats what i was thinking.. i wouldnt go under 10 at all

This is the exact kit I bought from the exact same seller. I got it shipped to my door in two days with no charge.

He's the best pricing and service I've seen/heard of on exedy products. As long as he's in business he has me as a customer for life.

The flywheel has never been too light for me, I don't even notice it anymore.

 

im parting out a d. dont have head or intake manifold have everythign else since all these people are doing mini mes!! pm me if yall need anything

he sells all exedy products. He also has an exedy stage one organic with the fidanza as well, my room mate made 430whp with that clutch


Probably not good for it, but it's a testament to it's quality.

 

yea thats the clutch i was looking into.. the exedy stage one not the oe clutch

 

why is there such a difference in pricing with these two packages????
