h22a cd5 questions

[mj3610]

are you talking about an auto 'box not lasting, or manual 'box?

whos gonna turbo an auto?

[poid]

i asked because i have no idea where you get that the manual box wont last...

[mj3610]

because of the huge power increase???

[poid]

please dont post assumptions as facts, in practice the gearboxes are fine with turbo conversions.

And it torque that kills gearboxes, rather than power

thats the most rediculous thing i've ever heard...

[poid]

lol feel free to think it ridiculous.

you reckon it'd last a month. Mine is 30 months and counting...

[mj3610]

i said "most" gearboxes, if it makes u happy and stops u from crying then by all means consider urs an exeption...
and what u said IS rediculous and technically incorrect...

[poid]

accord gearbox wouldnt last more than a month if its turbod, prelude gearbox would be a better way to go. thats just ONE problem...

you didnt say most at all. And even if you did, you would be wrong...there have been few gearbox related problems until you get to built engines/high torque

and please do educate me as to why what i have said is ridiculous and so technically incorrect, rather than just make a claim. because i would love to know what i have got so terribly wrong.

Haha

****in nice one

I mean ... Mine's been turbo for what? About 2-3 years now and still no gearbox problems?

Wow man you've clearly educated me

Can't believe I didn't think of this earlier - gonna go to a gearbox specialist asap.

lol they're fired up now... ^^^
for whoever was asking, if ur ready to waste that much money on a H22A conversion then atleast just get the conversion, dont be silly and fork out all ur money to turbo a FWD that has 110kw already...

[poid]

still dont see anything that actually backs up your point of view...

lol i don have to, ur just hoping someone else with a turbo h22a runs in and backs u up so u can go to sleep tonite thinking the work done to ur car was worth it and u will never have any problems with it...
