Has anyone with the hf motor put in a Dx/Si tranny only? ONLY really want responses from people that actually have done this exactly how much quicker from this alone. edit: How noticable is putting on a si/dx tranny.

Think about it for a second, It's only a 60 HP motor, How much quicker do you think it CAN go?

Sorry but use some common sense.

 

tranny will make a big difference , so will changing the intake mani and putting a decent TB on.

is it worth it on that engine , IMHO no way.

 

^^ dont forget swapping out the 8 valve head :S

... and don't forget to swap out the pistons or the entire bottom end.

 

lol....... before i did my swap my hf trans took a crap........ i put a used si trans on it and it made a HUGE difference in acceleration........ even though it was only a 60hp motor......... no way it would keep up with an d16 but it was quick

Common sense? Noob, common sense is knowing the long gearing on an hf. If you don't know and havn't done it , please don't respond, as i stated at the beginning. I already knew it would make a noticable difference, but not by how much.

And a 8v head doesn't mean anything. Most (newer)golfs and even specificallly the corrado g60 supercharged is an 8VALVE, surprised? Anyway
I rev high all the time on my hf to accelerate and keep up on the freeway, at 207k+ mi, NO problems with the motor. The 62( not 60 furball ) horsepower and 90lbs of torque(which is only 10 less then the si)is also based on the intake,exhaust, fuel injection, ecu etc, all changable. I happen to have all the parts for an si and a z6 swap,(besides the tranny) but am enjoying the 50mpg thank you.


Thank you sloorex. Some of the retards on this board, unbelievable.

 

This was only meant as an informative post, to know how much difference for individuals who have DONE IT was made just swapping the tranny . I didn't ask how else to make the hf faster, otherwise I would have asked for someone to tell me to Search.

 

we put an si tranny in an std and felt significant gains. i can not say what the dx would do.

 

Dx and Si have the same drive ratio besides the final gear. The si is 4.25 vs dx's 3.89/.93.

 

im trying to find out if anybody had changed out the tranny in my car before purchase. is there a mak on the tranny that tells u what kind it is

 

If you can drive at 2000 rpm at 75-80mph, then its def. an hf.

 

Option 1
http://www.d16a.com/d_series_trannys.htm

Option 2
Hit 80 mph in 5th and see what you're redline is at.
Then go to the CRX math page here:
http://crx.honda-perf.org/math/index.html and figure it out.

 

no prob dude....... the only thing that i was scare of was cruising down the highway at a good click because the low redline of the hf motor at about 70-75 u would be about 1k from the redline........ hehe

HEY MORON, How does changing a trans. make you gain HP and TQ? Please explain to this NOOB because I have not been around cars for a while. What an ***--LE. How the hell do you know that I am a Noob. How about calling yourself a noob because I would really like an answer to my question.

Yes you did becuse your first post said,

" Just wondering how much power is lost through that long gearing hf tranny. "

What is power, HP, thus you asked how to make it go FASTER.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOB or just at writing.

FURBALL B-16 (1:38 PM 8/21/2003): So how does a trans. make your car gain HP/TQ because I am a noob and I want you to tell me ?
You go to the same speed faster but gain nothing in HP/TQ. NOOB
Doctor Zagato (3:19 PM 8/21/2003): lol
FURBALL B-16 (3:20 PM 8/21/2003): whats the answer?

Anyone else understand him?

 

Whats the answer?

 

Don't ask other people, if you don't know just say you don't know.

 

You seriously need a grammar crash course.

Lets say your HF motor with 62 HP top speed is 80mph (just an example)
Lets say the HF trans will get to 80MPH in 15 Sec. (just an example)
Lets say the SI trans will get you to 80mph in 12Sec.

Same end result you just reached it faster, NO HP/TQ gains.
