Is this a realistic setup? 4.73 and boost anywhere from 4psi to 12 psi? I'm using a D series motor. I wanna do this on a 4dr 88-91 civic with lsd and use this as a street/drag setup. Is this too radical a final drive for boost? I searched the final drive and boost but all I found was hydraulic tranny tegs or swapped civics with b series and hydraulic trannys. Didn't yeild definitive results. Anyone here doin this setup? thx

 

will be pretty crazy, lots of tire smoking action, but it might be nice with a set of 25 or 26" slicks. what kind of power do you plan on making?

 

I wanna shoot for 200-225? I'm thinkin of a t3 with .42 .48 or a rhb5, I wanna test both. I have a 4.25 final drive l3 Si tranny but since I'm doin the lsd I thought I'd do a 4.73 final drive.
Seems like the gsrs have success with these. people still boost em.
What about on street tires? Or am I crazy?

 

we run a 478 final drive in our car 11.1 at 127 in a lsvtec turbo stock motor

you'll pick up time by NOT going into 5th through the traps. pick your rev limiter, gearing, and tires to accomplish that.

wat kind of power u making witht that sleeper teg and what u suspension setup

 

yes we know the stats the car should have all the way down to the nutz bro but thanks for the info jared people need to know this stuff on this site

 

8000rpm the motor will go higher in shift points but remember it is STOCK NO SPRING RET COMBO NO PISTONS,RODS,CAMS, S T O C K BLOCK GUARD AND HEAD STUDS THATS IT WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET TYPE OF DEAL
