Right now I have a shitty LS tranny that I want to get rid of. I want to get either a gsr or si tranny, but I have to figure out at how much MPH I could trap with that kind of power , to do the math.

John@M&H recommended me either 24.5" or 26" slicks, i'm probably gonna get the 26's.

So

GSR
9000 rpm rev limiter
26" slicks
510 whp @ 8500 / 321 tq @ 8000.

Si or GSR tranny ?

 

i made 509 to the wheels and 318 tq. 25" slicks with a b16 tranny. weighted 2450 with me in it. went a best of 10.70 @ 134/135. 26's are alittle big for what you have. with 26's, go straight b16 tranny. with 25's, go b16 if you can raise your rev limit to like 9500 or go gsr if you can't. if this is a street car, i would think you'll weight closer to 2700 lbs and will be running 10.80's........no wheelie bars and full interior.

 

25" slicks are not available in 15" ITR brakes, no choice to go 15" ..

the car weights exactly 2768 with me in it and the passenger seat removed.

So you think 10's are possible ... Coming from you I tend to believe it's true ..

BTW, do you remenber when I sent you a PM about 6 months ago to ask you if my setup could make 500 whp with a t3/ 60-1 ? well i did it

im in the same boat man , im rolling 26's on mine though. turbo tyoe R was only making 440whp and couldnt get 24.5's to hook worth **** and went to 26's and last time i talked to him were werking better, havent chatted in a while though

 

Yeah, this guy convinced me to go with the 26s

 

Id go with the gsr tranny for your application

Are tou talking from experience or just feeling ?

 

if you go with the 26's, you need the b16. thats the way it is.

 

go with the 26".you will not beleive the traction! better have a good clutch though.

Thanks guys !

 

I know you'll have to have coilovers, but how well do the 26" fit? Is the car raised up really high in the front and low in the back? Anyone got any pics with some 26" slicks??

 

Yeah I got coilovers, and 26"s fits with stock DC2 fenders , just ask TurbotypeR

 

Id go 25's...they have more sidewall and have less weight. You can run them with less air to get them to hook. we used to run as low as 4.5 pounds with over 500 hp to get them to hook. 26's suck...thats my opinion.

 

If this will help in anyway, I do have a M&H 9/25.5-14 what do you think guy's.

John@M&H-Hashim's

 

i think his problem is that he has to run 15 inch wheels

 

Well I thought maybe this might be something he could go with, I am just trying to help in anyway.

John@M&H-Hashim's

 

there is no way to fit 14's on type-r brakes? even with a spacer???

 

With some mod's, is it possible that he can run this slick size. I am just asking.

This seems like a better way to go because it keeps the weight down on the rims and you get 1/2 inch more of sidewall

That would be nice !! It I could, I'd go with 14"

 

14s may be doable w/ some caliper shaving and a spacer.....worth a shot. im in a similar boat w/ my Accord.
