trannys for boost

[jdmkid]

so guys i have a f22b and im about to turbo it. now i really wanted the H tranny for shorter gearing because i just want it to be quick im not trying to mob way top speed now sense i really need a new tranny should i take the F tranny for a 100bucks or just wait and try to find a H tranny

You can run an H23 tranny on there. Best of both worlds it sits right in between the F and the H22 trans.

Well i ahve a f22a tranny and a turbo charged f22b. I still cant beleive my tranny hasent died yet, or I havent snaped an axle, i guess its becuase she hasent seen the track yet this year. There are 2 debatable advantages to haveing a f22a trans. One is becuase of the longer gear ratios you can keep traction with out braking tires loose, also known as the chirps when you shift. Remember when your puttin down major horses a chirp is more like a second or 2 of tire spin. The other is becuase of the longer gear ratios, you can exstend time in your power band. Remember most boosted accords are running low torque making dsm turbos. If you have a big ass mother fucking turbo you need a shorter gear transmision to get to boost or you will never see it when at a race.

[CBL]

so what have we learned
If your running a dsm set up, you will be faster at the track with a f22a trans
If your running a BFT you will want to get your hands on a h22a trans
This is the reason why v8 sports cars have long gears, so they can utilize their power bands, which a high torque low rpm. This is also why higher reving cars tend to have more then 4 gears. So they can utilize the higher end of there powerband

If it was up to me I would in vest in a h22a tranny with lsd. Just cuz I would enjoy it on the street more.

On a side note I have 3 turbo manifolds at my house looking for new owners. One for dsm, one for a remote located t3, one thats a ram horn t4. If your intrested.

[92ex]

Kinda disagree with ya CBL, the gearing for transmissions should more be based on where you shift on that transmission, what rpms that puts you in while racing, and where your powerband is. h22 trans is usually not the way to go with a good size turbo, look at Accord SIR

[jdmkid]

thats why i don't want f22 tranny cuz i have a .60 trim with ram horn manifold and im shooting for 300tq but later in the summer i wanna get 35r so it will spool quicker i think im gonna go with F and save 600

[sulimed]

last i heard turbos like long gears, and the f23 has the longest.

I honestly do not like the H23 trans - it tops out at 140 while my F22a trans has seen 155 and wasnt done yet. Also city driving, my F22 trans I work 1st,2nd and 3rd in the city while on the H23 trans gotta go to 4th to keep rpms lower. ANother comparison is highway cruising, noticable higher revs with the H23 trans.

[92ex]

I love the h23 trans, I rode in h23accords car with the h23 trans, I think it has the best gearing. I want one, but it's not something worth spending money on when you have a perfectly good tranny. So the h23 tops out at 140mph, if you haven't beaten the person by then, give up

its a rare case that anyone manages to beat me at that speed. 140 is enough for me plys i like crusing at lower rpms on the highway. everything i said was factual, and it is up to him to make a decision from the info he gets. all you are sayin 92ex is that h23 trans has "best gearing" ....

....what is best gearing?
....best gearing for what, drag, auto-x, top speed?

[westsideaccord]

Does the F23 5spd tranny have the best gearing for cruising speeds(lower=better)? For turbo? Highway?
At 65mph my F22a tranny is revving at 3000(+)(fifth gear) And I wouldnt mind it being a little lower like 2500!!! All the roads round here(highways) are 110km/h!

that doesnt sound right, im doing 3100rpms at 80mph

[backyardspecial]

well i have a h22a lsd tranny on my f22a dsm turbo motor i dont know but all i know is on rollin run in first gear i get no traction and second is like crazy but i still manage to rip a g35 and 350z from rollinng start in second gear the gears are pretty nice but its all in your preference you need to figure out wnat kind of racing you do more like freeway racing or drag racing. But i still think the h22a tranny was pretty good the fact i can accelerate so quickly to speed but yea its all what you guys like

[fast93accord]

I use the H23 trans with my F22 motor. I absolutely love it. Gears are close together. If i shift at 7000rpm rpms fall between 5000-5500 in the next gear. I love it... However cruisin on the highway at like 70mph i'm at like 3500rpm... and i use larger then stock tire size... I can hit about 120mph in 4th gear at about 7200rpm.
