I try to keep a positive attitude but GD dude it's a gsr trans and with an aftermarket diff.... idk where you did your "research" but the VIN registers as a 2001 Integra GS-R Aka a B18c1, also known as NOT a B16. The one thing about this thread that keeps triggering me is your presentation of speculation as fact lol. We've established through numerous occasions that both you and your "friend" have very limited knowledge of Hondas and we're trying to clarify things but you keep fighting us lol. There are ways to identify these things beyond a shadow of a doubt. So it's a GSR transmission with an aftermarket diff, and if its been apart once it probably has fresh synchros. Cracking it open again is just a waste of time unless you're grinding gears.
I put stock replacement axles on my turbocharged hatch, it made ~420whp. I never broke one but if I had, the axle is a much easier-to-access point of failure than anything inside of the transmission. What's more, O'Reilly's sold stock replacement axles with a lifetime warranty, so I would have had free replacements if they had broken or leaked.
you are very much soo correct , Velocity > Turbo psi , idk the parts list is a mile long for this car and we have only seen some mix maxed pictures, a title, and a $40 free shipping ebay header, I dont have much faith in it but its a pretty active threadWhy are we talking in psi? Boost pressure has never, nor will it ever, correlate to specific power levels or reliability.
I've seen this time and time again with the R35. The stock turbos (with full bolt ons and E85) are far more dangerous than a larger frame turbo. Why? The stock (tiny) turbos generate more torque on less boost than larger frame turbos running higher boost pressures. Larger frame turbos will generate more peak HP but less torque because of the change in spool time. Guess which setup loves to bend rods? That's right, the stock turbo setup.
My point is that power breaks shit, not boost pressure.
