ok guys im new here and just curious about a swap, i'll be the first to admit im not a honda guy im into neons so dont flame to bad please. My buddy and i race on a 1/4 mile dirt oval track, my neon does great very fast but my buddy has his 92 integra which is a rocket off the start and handles like its on rails but halfway down straights the rev limiter kicks in and he has to shift into third and third gear is too much for the track and the car is doggy in third, his integra has a 5speed with a 1.8 dohc. now my question is a prelude came to track and cleaned house except for my neon it was great race but his gearing seemed to be better for the track than my buds integra, is there any way we could swap in a prelude tranny into his car? thanks for the help guys.

A prelude tranny won't work. What you want is a b16 transmission or a gsr transmission. Being a 92, he has a cable trans, so the newer hydo ones will not work without a conversion. Either find an imported b16 trans, or you can get a 92-93 gsr trans. These have the same gearing as the b16 I believe. Swap one of these in, and it will be much quicker.

ty so much we are goin to junkyard tomorrow to start looking, is there anyway we could swap ring gears to acheive the gsr ratio or is not possible with the honda's?

the stock fd ratio is 4.266 for your trans. The gsr and b16 trannies are only 4.4. Most of the benefit is made up in the actual gearing. There are much more aggressive final drives you can buy from the aftermarket.

listen to this guy ^

the b16a or GSR cable trans is what you are looking for. S1, YS1, J1, and there may be more.

could you just run a shorter tire and run the car in 3rd. or a taller tire and run 2nd. thats what the local roundy round guys around me do as rules dont permit changing the trans

we tried tire size but the rev limter just kicks in way too early, my neon and his integra are the only 2 different cars out there, we are surrounded by 30 probes and i just want my bud to start whoopin some probe ass, i hate fords. well off to couple junkyards to see what we can find thnks guys.

Yeah, you really do need to start winning vs probes. So I guess we now know all those cars are good for is oval dirt racing, before I thought it was nothing accept for a camp fire.
