Criteria is : 180 WHP from a d16z6 engine. Looking for Even spaced gearing, Not first 3 gears that sound like I never shifted Then the 4th and 5th being too Wide.
Even spaced gearing and strong enough to hold up to road racing.

 

<p>92-95 EX/SI, or 96-00 EX. &nbsp;Those are your options for a performance oriented transmission, period. &nbsp;I guarantee you don't have enough power to &quot;make it sound like you never shifted&quot; rowing through the gears. &nbsp;I also guarantee that you don't understand why lower gears are shorter than taller gears, or what torque multiplication is.</p><p>Stick with an EX/SI transmission.</p>

 

First off I Didn't ask for an attitude. I been building American race cars most of my life. This is my first venture into the Japanese hot rods.. + I'm a 40+ year Automotive Technician thank you very much...

 

What is the strongest 5spd? I believe a custom rebuilt tranny is your best bet. Hows the build?

 

Actually the best d series transmission is 92-95 del sol si it has a shorter final drive

 

Tony_2018 I have a d16z6 engine bored .25mm over. Crank knife edged, pollished eagle rods,pm6 Pistons milled down with -5.00 cc dish. Fully coated and Jet-Hot coating on the Tops of my pistons. I had the Head flow ported here in Houston. Brian Crower Stage 3 NA cam, Spings and Retainers, Blox Valves,new keepers.head had been milled .040, block decked .005.. .030 coated stainless steel head gasket.running right at 12 to 1 compression. Blox intake gasket matched to the head and the 68 mm Blox throttle body. Headers with 2.5" collector and rest of the exhaust is all 2.5" out the back.

<p>All those parts, all that money, and still only 190 WHP. &nbsp;I applaud your efforts, but will use you as a case study in the future to further prove my point - NA D series is pointless.</p><p>EX/SI transmission, or learn how transmission gearing works and have a gear set custom made. &nbsp;End of story.</p><p></p><p>And yet, the part numbers for the FD parts are the same between the two. &nbsp;Zeal also confirms that both are the same. &nbsp;Sorry, but whoever told you that was wrong.</p>

 

Sorry, I mixed it up. The del sol si 5th gear is shorter. 0.752 for del sol si 0.702 2dr-4dr ex

And thats impressive N/A #'s for a d16 but gosh wasnt that like 3k in parts for 60hp?

 

s..

 

The 180 or 190 WHP is Only an estimate. As when I am totally finished with my car. I'll take it to My Dyno guy and get All adjustments made and the final power will be verified.

 

The strongest? I don't think any one tranny (manual) is any stronger than another. It all comes down to personal choice of performance through the gearing ie. Final drive it has

 

I dyno'd the engine and Auto trans I have now. 82 WHP at the wheels. All bone *** stock. Nothing been done to Anything. So in That spirit,110 More WHP is A Great Deal More..

 

I have heard of a shop that does deal in stronger than stock transmissions. They have carbon lined gears. You might want to look into them, and give them a call. Synchrotech - Honda & Acura Transmissions

 

<p>Absolutely unnecessary for a dinky little &quot;all motor&quot; D series.</p><p>So, since OP has admitted that he hasn't actually dyno'd the car, and doesn't actually have any clue how much power it's making, has anyone started the betting pool? &nbsp;140-149 is currently paying 1.5:1, 150-159 is 1.2:1, 160-169 is 2:1,&nbsp;and 170+ is 12:1.</p>

 

You aren't making enough power to require anything special.
Get one of the transmission listed above and toss a synchrotech rebuild kit in and call it day

 

Thanks One headlight. I bought one today. Should be in sometime next week. Synchrotech . $1400.00 to totally Tricked out too.! Lsd, re-geared to my spec. Carbon coated synchros. The works.. WooHoo.. :-)
