Re:dx vs si tranny

since your cable your choices are limited to the different Si-R crx b16 trannys for the most part

also the difference in an LSD and a normal B-series tranny, one distributes power equally to both wheels and one doesnt

Re:dx vs si tranny

I'm rocking the stock DX tranny in my car. I have a spare Si tranny, but honestly, I like the DX tranny. I have a real broad torque curve so the longer gearing helps there.

high rpm torqueless motors see big gains from cars with short gears, where-as I'd doubt unless I was on slicks or something a car like mine would be too much faster.

No one has meantioned the top speed of the Si tranny is like 127mph in 5th ( unless you like revving your D16 to 8000rpms ). My DX tranny has seen 135mph, and had more to go ( but ran outta road ).

I'm happy with my DX on 12-14psi with a meduim turbo, but ifit breaks I'll swap in the Si just b/c I have an extra...

Re:dx vs si tranny

I was just using the mph vs rpm calulator with stock Si rims/tires and redline...

I know the DX tranny's top speed isn't 135mph, I just ran outta road...

But yea, your right, I prob. have no idea what I'm talking about.... Hell, I'm not even sure what size my honda engine is....
