Im trying to decided if i want to turbo my accord. I have the prelude 5speed with the ACT clutch and at the time I was 100% for the turbo, now looking at my rpms since my car has shorter gear ratios now im thinking to myself that its may be better to have a longer gear ratio tranny does it really matter? any advise? I guess I can allways get a boost controller and set it for like 4-6pounds daily and 8-9 race.

 

an h22a tranny on an f23? that must be a mess...

short ratios are for small, peaky powerbands with no torque

get an accord tranny if u plan to boost

 

so since my 90 honda accord isnt boosted and i got the f22a4 would it be alright to use the prelude tranny? Would my accord be quicker or slower? thanks

 

quicker... at the expense of gas and engine wear. Your engine speeds will be higher in relation to your car speed.

how about an h23a w/ turbo? or if you want an inbetween, a 94 (all 5th gen?) wagon tranny is an f22b2 tranny w/ a 4.266 FD instead of a 4.066. Pretty much inbetween a h23a and f22b1 tranny gear ratio numbers.
