High 9's on stock trans is a hell of a goal!
How did you get it for $500?! I would love to grab a 6-speed tranny, I have an 06 civic si coupe, I'm not sure what tranny's will fit with my k20z3 setup.. And the other part that scares me is that I have no knowledge on transmissions so I'm not sure what I'll be getting. And I realllllly don't want to find out the hard way :spaz: What should be looked for in a used tranny?Quote:

HAHA trans ****ed up tonight oh well hopefully it didnt hurt the case as I only wanted this season out of it and it did awesome and dont owe me a dime .I already have a minty like new ep3 that I was gonna put in anyway for the new build and next seson so now its time to start the build I was actually on my last ride just messin around before I pull it apart and was doin a third gear pull and it went .I am probably still gonna try to hit that high 9 on a stock trans as the one I just messed up has hundreds of pulls at 500-600 hp and 360-414 trq
That's crazy, talk about a jinx! I'm just hoping mine doesn't turn out like that, I really need to start looking into transmissions
Haha yeah I was actually surprised when it happened as I have done pulls so many times .Although surprised it didn't matter really cause I've had so much fun with that trans I'd gladly pay another $500 for that much fun .I may look into heat treating some new oem gears as I realize a high 9 on a stock trans is a pretty big goal but it may still be one I attempt haha .I wasn't planning on running this trans next season anyway as I have another mint trans and knew the current trans was a time bomb waiting to go as it was getting a little noisy . I'm am just stoked it lasted till now as I thought it would have gone by now myself .
this sucks... i go out into the garage all motivated.. I start working on my bay but get bored quickly and quit lol
I wish I had friends who worked on cars nearby.....
Yeah not to many guys around here either a few of us but not to many real nice cars in this area as far as Imports
You have to post what to look for in a trans and examples if you don't mind. I'm new to the tranny world (lmfao) and I don't know much.Quote:

The only true way would be to open the trans case but its unlikely that a seller is gonna let ya do that unless its a friend or something .I have two stock ep3 s that I have had all summer and had expected to use one prior to now but am glad I still have both .Oh and btw the 5 speed is better for boost than a 6 due to gear ratios as the 6 speed requires more shifting .I cross the traps at the top of 4 th gear in the 1/4 mile if I had the 6 speed I'd have to shift to 5 th causing loss of time .
got my brake booster delete kit in. wooot
:thumb: What kit did you go with?
:yeahthat:
I decided I would give Chase Bays another chance. After meeting the guy he's a nice guy. He was sorry about my harness and he did everything he could to help me out. He even texted me to check up on things and what nots. So all in all I'm a happy customer. So I decided to go ahead and get my brake booster delete kit from him.

hows braking with a delete kit?
I got a question, does anyone know what they use to make a "tear drop" wastegate runner on a manifold? If you dont know what i mean, i''l find a picture. basically lets more flow route towards the wastegate
I believe its to allow, like you said, better flow to the gate and prevent boost creep.
Not sure, but I do know that Full-Race does this on almost every manifold they make.
Good to see some familiar faces on here, :waves:
