transmission change

[integral90]

thanks for your input guys. However, i have seen many k24s with a type r gearbox for example the EG civic from JDMyard has a similar set up.

EGK24A revs to over 8000rpm, that's why that gearbox works so well for it. There's a big difference in wheel speed from 7200rpm to 8000rpm.

just wondering if anyone has used another gearbox in an euro? If i need to change the whole gearbox than i might aswell do a conversion and pay for labour all at once, if i do, do i need to change ECU?

PM Justin, EUR003act. He swapped the USDM Civic Si gearbox into his car. From what I recall that's basically the same box as the DC5R but with a much nicer cruising 6th.

Also you don't need ECU to change manual gearbox.
