So i changed my transmission and clutch and 2nd gear gets me about 125 hm/h, is that normal ?

Midori

sounds like you got a Cx/dx transmission....you were probably used to your Si trans.

yeah, sounds like a CX tranny..

Trybal

Sounds about right with the CX tranny....About 85-90km redlined in 1st gear.

You might get better fuel economy.

CX tranny for sure.......There only good if you have a turbo.

styles

I agree with turbo it would be sickening, but you don't think better pistons valves port n polish would help too

First off what engine are you working with?? Im guessing B7??
Bigger cam with the high comp pistons is the best start.......SOHC's love compression.
An SI tranny alone will take 0.8" of your 1/4 time......That right there is worth it.

Midori

Well according to his information he has a 93 Si. So that trans swap he just did just lost him .8 on his 1/4 time. Hence him being suddenly surprised with his long gear ratios. Should have done some research before you had you transmission swap you just lost significant power.

on the other side of the coin the Cx trans is way more gas efficient. I have had both and the Si is high revving for 401 speeds. 3200 Si compared to 2500 Cx both in 5 gear obviously.

d16 is the engine, you think the difference between an si trani and Cx trani is such a big difference, im more concerned about circuit then quarter mile

Midori

Well what transmission did you get exactly..

Well what kind of D16??? The A6 or the Z6??
If you have a SI then its the Z6. And like I said earlier, if you replaced your SI tranny with the CX.........you just made your car slower. And yes .8" seconds is a'lot when it comes to racing.

styles

I know this trani is better in some ways then the si cause on the track not quarter mile I will be in 2nd a lot... when I went to Cayuga your only in 2 and 3 except for the straightaway so on conerning it will be better and with a turbo probally better then the si trani... but what kind of trani i have and yes its a si so your saying its Z6 so what kind of trani is in there exactly

Midori

find the code... check above. Nobody knows what trans you have except you.

s20-104057 is the transmission
