best d series tranny for turbo
 

Hey wouldn't the d series tranny of a d15b1 (88-91 std ) be the best transmission for a turbo d series car because of the long ass gears? tell me which tranny works best for turbo d series

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

shorter gears = faster acceleration, boosted or not

z6 or y8 tranny

(The EX tranny for the 5th and 6th gen Civic)

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

i would as well go with the z6 or y8

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

Definetly shorter gears.

That's like the guys who swap in a B16 in to their civic with a LS tranny because it's faster for turbo... LOL!! Then they get spanked by the guys with the B16 trannys :)

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

i take it this guy is running cable, since he specified the 88-91 std tranny.

So in the event you are cable, those hydro trannies are useless to you unless you wanna go through the hassle of converting... exactly useless.

Best easily accessible bet, Si, EX or DX, LX.

I'd go with the cheaper one. I had a DX tranny and I was very pleased with it. But the Si would be the primo choice.

note that I said easily accessible, so I tossed out the ZC/ZC hybrid option.

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

Si for sure ;)

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

ZC, if you want the Equal length driveshafts, but otherwise Si tranny. Or, if you want LSD you need the Si, or ZC with no equallength driveshafts(what I have)

I'll sell you a keyboard, $8 shipped, do you need 5 or 6 pin DIN? :P

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

had to do the same thing it sux
but ive heard of poeple taking the 4 gear tranny taking that ---- and mixxing gears from the z6 so you have long first 2 gears and short 3-5 but he could have been BSin

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

EX/Si is the best bet.................

Mixing up tranny parts??????????

All mine :)

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

6th Gen Si is B-series. Is the old (4th Gen and 5th Gen) trannies still D-series then right? I thought those 2 Gens also shared the same tranny between the Si and EX.

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

well the eg's (5th generation) had b16's also here in the united states .."del sols" and the 6th generation civic si's (only 99-00) came with optional b16a ..del sol was a b16a3 and civics were b16a2 ;).. hope that helped you out samson

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

I like the final drive on ed si trannys..

-CF

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

Well, Del Sol's had B16A3 (93-95) AND B16A2 (96-97) and CAN 6th gen Civic Si's were D series.

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

Nope, Ravage70 gets the gold star on this one. The boosted 5.0 guys can tell you that trading their 3.73 and 3.55 gears for 3.08's really wakes the car up.


Hey, I just bought an 88 STD for $150, planned on dropping a D16 in it. Are you guys telling me that STD transmissions are good for something?? Amazing - I was just going to throw it away.

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

I've got an STD (lol)

4 speed sucks nuts.

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

I use a ZC with lsd equiped. It shifts like a dream. Plus both tires spinning dont hurt either lol.

People think im a one wheel wonder...WRONG! lol

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

si tranny for me, i love it, and i've got my suspension set up so i get a dual peel, and thats with a open diff :D

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

well ----, when did they start putting d-series motors in 5.0's??

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

4 speed STD trannys are of value...........

Usually good 1-2 shifter fork, saves $60

sell the 3rd gear to someone wanting a nice 4th gear in a 92-00 tranny $25

spare case, nice to have :)

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

So I have to dissassemble this goddamn thing in order to make five ------- dollars off of it?

Pfft.

I'll probably ship it up to you by way of Blundy just to be rid of the stupid thing. Good riddance!

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

Yes. Thank you. B16A2 optional? I thought it was standard in the Si for 6th Gen?

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

Always accepting free trannys. Split down and sell the little stuff (covers my time) the recycle the cases if the are cracked for beer money!!!!!!!

last trip, 192 lbs of alum cases, 48.50 in beer money!

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

Best d series tranny for a 1/8 mile drag race?

4 gear or SI?

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

ive also got the std 4 speed tranny and i actually like it. 1 less gear to shift, and im getting great gas millage on mine(30+ city, and about 40 highway on a mpfi d15b2). also i get both tires broke loose all the time. weird?

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

DX=long gears EX/SI= RIPPIN!!!

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

------- GRAVE DIGGERS!

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

good luck finding one but id get a factory jdm cable zc tranny with a stock lsd,


and yes they were made ;)

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

They were also failure in anything pushing any power.

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

I have one been sitting for like 4 years now to finish my all motor d build that I have no desire to finish.

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

Want to sell it ;D

Re: best d series tranny for turbo
 

Sadly it took me forever to find it so it'll collect dust proably forever since in my mind I might actually finish my build
