Okay..... I have stock a JDM tranny with
1st: 3.23
2nd: 2.105
3rd: 1.458
4th: 1.034
5th 0.787
FD: 4.785

traction sux but I like the second gear (on 0.45 Bar boost) for autoX, but it still could be a bit longer, cause I run out of revs sometimes.

My thoughts are to put in a 4.400 fd and the 1.107 4th gear to have a nice pulling gear for the 1/4 mile. I want to keep the 0.787 5th for autobahn top speed or perhaps switch to LS 5th sometimes.

I think it is a good deal on getting a bit better traction while having a nice AutoX tranny too. What do YOU think?

PS: I know GSR 2nd (1.9) would be better for traction too, but it would kinda suck at AutoX.

Stock at redline on GSR (in MPH):
40.80
69.37
96.91
127.46
167.47

Your JDM tranny at redline (in MPH):
37.52
57.57
83.12
117.21
153.99

Your modified setup (in MPH):
40.80
62.61
90.40
119.06
167.47

Keep In mind I did these calculations using my gear ratio calculator which is set up to calculate with my 215/40/17 tires.

What the hell, I thought this is an all out tech board dedicated to Hondas. My question is by far better than usual supercharger vs turbo or how to turbocharge this or that, or what compression for how much boost QUESTIONS!

This thread has
Which Turbo Upgrade for WRX? has 28 replies and 434 views and has absolutly nothing to do with Hondas

MY thread only has 2 replies, which are not informative for me.

 

download this excel file....

its a better version (IMO) of a net mile per hour based on tire size and gear ratios.
give speed based on RPM from 700- 10000



As for your rant about no one replying... what exactly are you asking???
to me, it was more of a long comment than a question.

are you asking what is better for autox while still keeping some acceleration? I'm not quite sure, and others probably aren't either. so please, don't be jumpy like that. Thanks
