boosting in 6 weeks...

[MadLorEP3]

If the 6 spd doesnt work out then you still have your 5 spd ep anyways...homie above is probably right though. I have read the same thing about 6 spd and turbos from a lot of different forums...alot of guys with boost on k20a are switching out their 6 spd for 5 spd...6 spd is probably better for an all motor setup...

Not to keep on with the same debate BUT take a look at WRX and then look at the STi. The STi has probably the worst gearing ever for a large turbo just because you're shifting 1-2-3 sooooo fast that you're losing time. On the other hand they said that the 09 WRX is FASTER than the same year STi in the quarter mile, wanna know why?


Gearing

Same reason evo MR guys step down to the bulletproof 5 speed from their godly 6 speed.

[AKEP]

yeah man, do it like me, get the tsx 6th gear and put it in with ep3 gears. that makes it like a type s 6 speed but slightly longer. if you want REAL long gears, do that and use a type s final drive. its like an HF k series. break 200 mph with that..

oh yeah and i spin 2nd on 5 psi, so just imagine a type s transmission on anything more.

[02TWSI]

Yeap, type s FD is 4.3 EP has 4.7, my type s trans has 4.7 and it makes the stock a3+6 speed a blast LOL

I understand where your coming from on this I had the same set up and idea before on a Greddy kit and even with smaller Turbo the gears went by too fast and then when went with our Full Race with the 35r same thing even tho the 35r is a faster spoolin turbo your cutting your self short by using the 6sPD and if your worried about driveability and wheel spin also that is another reason to stay away.

Here's an example if you ride bikes especially single gears if your going down hill and let's say you have 2 bikes one bike with a larger gear and another with a smaller gear and they both roll down hill at the same time the bike with the smaller gear will roll down hill much faster however at one point because of the small gear the peddles are spinnging so fast your legs (which serve act just like your turbo and engine would not be able to keep up with the speed of the peddles you actually end up losing power? Verse the bigger one will off a little slower how ever while the smaller gear bike tops out this one still have room to peddle to gain more torque and power and you won't be braking your knees or ankles while trying to keep up.

Sorry about any grammars probes trying to type all this on my phone


But if you have your heart set on it then try it out.


btw get LSD :) and thanks for serving our country and not to shoot a shout out to my own company but if you ever need and duty equipment let me know we take of our LEO/Mil

i understand what you are saying completely, i had an h22 with a gsr trans and the gears went way to fast after i went on boost so i switched back to an h22 trans, but even the type s trans has longer gears, im going to try it, ive done alot of research on it, there are some guys on k20a that are running the 6th gear with no problem. and yes i know im going to have wheel spin, its a front wheel drive... i have an lsd, and im getting new slicks to help for the track... whats your company shoot me a link or is it on your signature?

[AKEP]

oh yeah btw i have lsd too.

[WPB EP3]

it's fine to add the tsx 6th. He would be keeping the ep3 stock 1-5 gearing which is optimal for boost. It's swapping in a complete type-s 6spd transmission that is not to be added when going boost.

truth

sick

btw im boosted now, thanks to ctd fab. he did an amazing job. ill have pics/videos up by the end of the week, we are waiting on the tune that will come on monday. the plan is to limit the set up to 400whp on 11psi we are thinking, until we build the fuel return set up then we are shooting for the stock k20a2 motor record, set at 604 about a month ago.
