Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
I would agree with the comment about the "strength" of the b tranny. It's got alot more aftermarket support like anything else. But, the reason for changing *I'm assuming* is the fact that on-top of the 30pounds of boost he's running a direct port nitrous system. The turbo adds power, yes, but, the instant hp that's added by the n02 just rips trannys and half-shafts to pieces. So, I'm assuming that he wanted beefier internal tranny pieces as well as beefier axles that can handle the nitrous. B/c obviously if he's using direct port then he's using some serious serious jets!

i miss his prelude. but wow that's unique. very shocked.
-
Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
I might buy that prelude ;p
We'll see how my house plans turn out. I got spare A20A's here and alot of patience.

Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
Not to mention, his ratios are going to be much shorter now with B series tranny.

Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!

Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!

BTW, I'm VERY curious to see how your car would run on the track with a b-series tranny. I mean, I've seen your vids and I still bow down. What is your opinion of having the b-series tranny in your car

Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
do you mean strength wise or gear ratio wise?
Edit: Thanks!

Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
Isn't the A20 tranny pretty stout though?
-
Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
can someone explain what adapter plate does and when he says breaks his tranny what exactly is meant by that
-
Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
the bseries adapter plate allows him to simply bolt up a Bseries transmission to an A series block. the problem is that not all of the holes would like up, so its not a direct bolt on. so he builds a adapter that bolts to the A20 block, and then has the appropriate holes in it to bolt a bseries transmission to it.
im not sure exactly what part of the tranny breaks, but when you have enough power to run 9's in the qtr mile, drivetrain stuff breaks... there doesnt really need to be a reason...
-
Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
damn...thats all i have to say. Personally, i wouldnt want a 9 second drag car, cuz i like to actually drive my car around, but damn.....a20's own.
-
Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
it is interesting that he is using an a20 in this car. i wonder if its because:
a) the a20 is acually really good and worth using in race applications
b) he already had the motor so why not
c) just to be different
it would be cool if (a) was the case and the a20 is just the best choice! we might start seing some aftermarket engine parts if civic drag guys start building a20s! :P it sure couldnt hurt anyway!

Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
that was actually what i was thinking
maybe we should hit up JE pistons and see if they are interested in making some, since they already have the specs apparently.
-
Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
most pistons places WILL make anything you want, you just need to get them the specs
-
Re: 9 second a20!! a to b series tranny adapter plate!!
the REAL reason why he uses theses A20A (i use these cause he have a few ones... like 5-6) Cause they cost nothing and he can find a lot of 'em for real cheap at any junkyard. BTW, on of his sponsors is a junkyard who giving him those A20A.

A) seems like a good answer when you see his reply on H-T

we held in the prelude in the begining of last season quebec's fastest honda for a while, I think we're the 2nd fastest sohc next to bisi.
. I think being a 2.0L SOHC that is solid as a rock and can hold very high boost + the availability of the blocks dosent hurt either.
