Ok I am in the middle of building a 900+whp civic EK. I am fully capeable of making the power with the motor setup but I am not sure on the transmission. I have a S80 ITR trans with a quaife lsd and I am running a CC twin disc clutch with a OEM flywheel. I am really starting to wonder if it will hold up under the pressure. I really don't know what I need to make this thing a tank. I need help please lol.

 

I guess first off if you have Tony and Mike's names in your sig's, both of them could have told you the answers.........but

The stock tranny is a ticking time bomb. My car makes 800+ and am running ITR 1-3, gsr 4ths and LS 5ths. All of the gears have been treated by racer steve and are holding up ok. I don't have a great short game and my 60's are not that great either, so my car isn't the best to take to the bank as evidence. The stock tranny, when treated and pre-loading will last a decent time....how long? well...um yeah..don't count on it holding forever.

I recommend getting a mission from T1 as he can set you up with a PPG gear set.

Yeah mikes got my car at tdc right now just looking for more advice I just talked to the guys at Mfactory and I think I am gonna buy there dog set or maybe I'll call the guys at ppg. I have seen there products but I haven't really talked to Tony about all that. I know he is gonna tell me to go with the ppg and I know there the shot so. I will look into it. I was just looking for outside advise. Talked with mike he thinks I'm crazy for wanting to do over 40psi but I really wanna go on the upper side of 900 I was trying to get his trans but he had just sold it lol. I bought all his old parts though for the most part.

 

Do you have the black EK?

 

Yeah you've seen it or know of it or the ***** that owns it lol? Yeah that's mine though. Yeah man Mike has been so much of a help without him and the guys at TDC I wouldent be able to afford to build this damn thing. Man I just wanna get done but I might have to stop for a min and wait till I get the 6k for the ppg trans dog setup. I am set on making a 900+whp civic if it doesn't hit it I'll keep going till it does
