Thread: Which trans is better for my ve sr16 or DE?

I currently have a sr16 on my car right now, the gearing are pretty short. 1st gets me nowhere, everyone keeps telling I need longer ratio so go wit a DE. Should I or stick with the 16?

You gotta search this stuff man, looking up 'gear ratio' brought up SO MUCH DATA on this already.

It really depends on what you use the car for. My VE'ed B14 has a SR16 tranny and its my weekend road warroir so the short 1st gear I can deal with.


And there are waaaaaaay more tranny options as far as gearing

Keep it, we get 400 a tank with the 16 tranny With all that short gearing. Just get a nice tune and your set.

I have a sr16ve tranny mated to my sr20ve and I LOVE it. Who cares about where 1st gear gets you if your fd is getting you up to your power-band fast?

I actually changed from a sr18 lsd to it recently, and the sr18 lsd is even shorter ratio than se-r lsd

We dont have very long highways here but on the toll I do feel like car needs a 6th gear, so if you do lots of high way driving you may not like it...
