k20a2 swap - 5 speed pros and cons?

[WhiteOnRice]

if you look hard enough, there are people that will swap ur 5spd for there 6spd, straight up!

6-speed FTW....reasons---MPG's: 'cause gas is so cheap these days and acceleration: you get through the gears faster with the 6-speed. Just a N/A opinion...

[nickesposito]

I would definitely trade someone straight up for a 6 speed...

for some reason my Greddy Evo II and DCRH is pretty quiet under 4k @ 80mph....

I liked my 5spd EP tranny over my 6spd's I've had a RSX-S04 6sp and a TSX 04 6spd. 6spd = to much shifting for me.

wouldn't a properly tuned kpro'd a2 with 5 speed give you more time in vtec... especially if you are running high comp pistons and such?

i think the rpms would lag on getting to vtec...
all motor=6speed
boost=5speed

[Guardian]

if you have kpro you wont fall out of vtec, you can change the crossover...

[Gilmour]

What exactly are going to be your supporting modes?

Do you plan on Kpro now or stock PRB ECU? To me that would be the big factor in what tranny to run.

Spend money on A2 Swap + Kpro + light fly and clutch with 5spd + tune > Stock A2 Swap

The EP3 5spd tranny is great, and it comes free with the car.

i already have kpro/intake/header/midpipe

im thinking about finding a k24a1 bottom end.

thoughts?

worried about the 6500 redline being too low for me.

i have k-pro from my k20a3 and now i'm doing a full swap (2006 rsx type s engine). mechanic said if i use the k-pro from my k20a3, i wouldn't have any locking mechanism on reverse? meaning if the car going forward and accidently put it on reverse instead of 6th gear it will blow the tranny

Don't worry about it. Its no big deal.
