mynameisjustin Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Alright, i tried to use the search bar but didnt find much. So my question is... my engine runs at 4500 rpms at 80 mph. This blows. So i was thinking of getting a 6 speed transmission. Where could i find one? Or is there other ways to stop this high rpm?
Ben. Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Only 6-speed b-series you're gonna find is for race applications only and probably costs more than your car. On another note, you could always buy a GSR or LS tranny. Longer gear's.
mynameisjustin Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Hey thanks, i have a 5 speed intergra type R tranny in it right now. I guess it would be a waste of money to buy the LS tranny for the sake of better highway driveing.
Ben. Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Yea but you could sell that Type R tranny for enough money to buy two LS trannys. Maybe two gsr trannys. Lol. Depends on whether or not it's stock. Type R tranny's are some expensive ass peices of equipment. Personally I wish I could find one for my LS to keep it's torqueless-down low ass in it's powerband.

Ben. Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 im pretty sure gsr have 4.4 final drive, same as the b16a2 tranny. Really? I was always able to snatch my GSR swap down into second gear around 66 or so..whereas my B16 tranny on the ITR swap I had in my 93 hatch didn't want to do that..LOL. I learnz something new everyday. Thanks Nancy.

Thanks Nancy. the 2nd gear in the gsr tranny (Y80) is 1.900 where as the 2nd gear in the A2 tranny (Y21) is 21.05 but they both share 4.4 final drives. the op could try to salvage a JDM B16A SiR I final drive which is 4.266, it should bring the revs down a few rpm's.
EH6TunerDaniel Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Ill trade you my b16 trans for your ITR one.
Nancy Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Ill trade you my b16 trans for your ITR one. there pretty much the same except 4th and 5th are different, plus the lsd. get the lsd and theyll pretty much be the same.
Hatch92 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 the only 6-speed tranny i have ever seen was a dog style gear tranny and it was $15K +
mynameisjustin Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 hah, 15k screw that. itd probly be cheaper to do a k20 swap with a 6 speed transmission. no point.
CleanGSR Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 You could always swap in an LS 5th gear into your ITR trans. This would give you the same gearing you have now in 1-4, but lower rpms for highway cruising in 5th.
Hatch92 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 a k20 swap would be alot cheaper than a $15k tranny
mynameisjustin Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Hey good idea!! too bad i dont have the faintest idea how to change gears on a transmission.
TheJGB3 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Hey good idea!! too bad i dont have the faintest idea how to change gears on a transmission. You could also go with a "taller" tire profile (example: a 55 series instead of 50). Pros-That would lower your RPMs at highway speed and increase your gas mileage. Cons - 1. you would have to buy 4 tires, 2. your speedometer/odometer would run slower (than your actual speed) at highway speeds (taller tire= less wheel revolutions per mile)
Hatch92 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 or you could just leave it and deal with the higher RPMS.
