Re:What tranny is better for Mini Me Turbo! DX or EX/SI
 

That makes a huge difference though. changing the FD lower from 4.2 to 3.8 is shitty. It changes all the gears longer. A DX and SI tranny are nothing alike driving on the road.

oh i know

i like the dx better for highway driving but every trans i owned pops out of gear after a night of racing

Re:What tranny is better for Mini Me Turbo! DX or EX/SI
 

really the reason that some people say that longer gear tranny's are better for FI is cause of traction issues, a 400 hp crx is going to have a hard time getting traction and having really short gears just makes it harder. But in a car without really big traction issues of course a shorter gear tranny is better.

if you do alot of highway cruising stay with the longer ratios, it should keep you low in the powerband while cruising so you aren't punching it into boost when you slightly mash the accelerator...correct or no? that's what I always thought about them...

the SI owns the DX ;i just swapped out my DX 2 weeks ago for the SI; it feels like the SI 5th is the same as the DX 4th on the highway ;the SI pulls way harder than the DX ever did;in about 2 weeks; we'll se how better it does at the track

I have the dx and I already feel like I'm winding the ---- out of it just cruising at 90 on the freeway. :-\
