Zc/si tranny - Ultimate 4th gen civic

[selasiei]

What are the best combination for gear in a L3 tranny for the ZC. I hear that you can swap the ZC's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and use the Si final gear.

What do you'all know about that?

Here is some info from Hybrid's page...


"The Si transmission is the best choice available. Both the Si and DX transmission bolts right up and keeps the install simple. The DX transmission will sacrifice performance for better fuel mileage and lower freeway rpms. The ZC tranmission has a close ratio 1-5th gear, but a long final drive, making the best transmission still the US Si. For the ultimate acceleration make a Si/ZC hybrid transmission, by taking the Si final drive and put it in the ZC transmission. Or you can do it the other way around, ZC 1-5 in a Si transmission case. Either way, expect 80mph to turn 4300 rpms. However, the ZC transmission requires you to use ZC or 90-91 Integra axles, and a ZC or 86-89 Integra intermediate shaft. Because these axles are equal length, many users report a reduction in torque steer. "

You wanna have the final drive switched over and keep the zc gears I believe.

Yeah the ZC tranny with the SI final drive is the best L3 tranny combo you can use. You could use an Si tranny and swap over the gears fromthe ZC but thats more work for the same things since youwould have both trannies already. zc w/ si final drive is it man! Thats what I got and I love it
