aLmk's Turbo FA5

[Si Speed 317]

That picture is a great reference. And good quotes, I agree with the "just put the 5speeds in our case" logic unless your case shows cracking.

Would you mind spending a little extra time and create a thread specifically on your tranny and the issues/solutions you had to face with pics and what not? That way, theres an actual thread for this for others to see in the future. Toss it in the tranny section

Ya when it's all said and done I'll try to put that together. Just tough bc I'm not doing the work so I can't take pics of everything.

I got a guy selling a tranny off a tsx with mfactory lsd in it.

Don't think the tsx trans works in our chassis or with our ecu.

Quick update for everyone!

Bought a very nice base rsx 5 speed gear set from [MENTION=208]My07si[/MENTION] hopefully that arrives late this week.
Also got a new clutch masters fx 350 from a mid atlantic 8thcivic member that was BNIB.
This is what my gears will look like next to the stock gearing:

And new clutch:

The gears look like they will suit you well man. Nice find there. How much did the gear set run you if you don't mind me asking? I'd like to find me a set as well

$575 shipped from Arizona to Delaware. This is for the gear set only as the trans case does me no good. If you have an 02-04 rsx you can use the trans case. I have seen the ep3 and rsx5 speed gear sets with cases going for $500. That seems to be the usual price. The ep3 and rsx base 5 speed are almost identicle. The first and second on the ep3 are just slightly longer, but the rsx base comes with a 4.3 fd, the ep3 comes with a 4.7 fd. My trans already has a 4.7 fd with an LSD and I will be using that with the 5 speed. This chart has lots of helpful info:

my buddy with his 700hp rsx always had problems with the base rsx gears that the ep3 gearing, youll fall off vtec after each shift, just a heads up

All depends on where vtec engages and rev limits ect.

Yupp you can change vtec to engage at 2200 rpm, lol, but with boost who the hell needs vtec
