If you're polling the yards for complete swaps, you may not have a choice, but there are some diamonds out there. The best of them would be the six-speed from the RSX Type-S, Japanese Type-R or TSX. Either is good, with the TSX being geared for the torque of 2.4 liters and the Type-S and Type-R geared for high-revving powerbands. It's all the other trannies that present you with choices. There are no CR-V two-wheel-drive manuals, but the Element has some short (high numerically) gears. It might make for a nice, all-motor gearbox. Next is the Civic Si. Nearly an exact match for the RSX, it has lower first and second gears, but a higher final drive. The Accord tranny is about fuel economy. It's the easy choice for turbo application though, where short gears just mean wheelspin. See the transmission ratios table for all the details. Gears and final drives of all the five-speed boxes are interchangeable, as are the six-speeds. But you can't swap parts between five-speeds and six-speeds.

I read this today and i was wondering when they were talking about the honda accord transmission that would be ideal in there opinion for turbo applications. Which transmission are they talking about... like which year accord? Also which tranny in your opinion would you use for a daily driver?

Thanks in advance

the newer accords. 2011-2012 has a k24, not sure about other years. i work at enterprise lol

 

any k24 5 spd accord they came from 04-2012.you could always use the ep3 5 spd transmission as well. they say they are ail tougher then the 6spd found int he type s. the shortest k20 trans would be from a 05-06 type S with 4.77fd and the 02-04 type s had a 4.3. 02-04 ep3 si 5 spd transmission is 4.764. i would recommend the 5spd from a ep3. the rsx base model has a 5spd with a fd of 4.38. crv jdm 5 speed transmission had the shortest 5 spd of a 5.06. you can look and decide what u want from here http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=472588
