I sourced a SR16VE gearbox LSD, but in a previous thread i was reading a guy mentioned he does not like how the SR16VE LSD falls off in 3rd gear.
My question is to anyone that is using the SR16VE tranny on the SR20VE does it really fall off that much or at all?
I got a pull in a buddy of mine SR20 Primera P10 with a N15 Pulsar GTI SR18DE LSD box and the gear ratios on this box are crazy. Car accelerates like  .
Will the SR16Ve box solve my problems? |
I think what they meant by there SR16VE tranny falling of in third has to do with how rediculious 1st and 2nd are in that tranny. 3rd is normal (much closer to a stock 5 speed tranny) so it feels slow or after all the pull in first and 2nd.
I have a B15 LSD SE tranny and I hear that the gearing ratios are the same as the SR16VEs but that the B15 tranny is much stronger.
Someoneelse said that if you get a VE and mod it to like 200HP that a SR16VE tranny may hurt you. I don't own a VE but I may have to agree with that. My de is modded with still stock cams and I make 138 ft lbs torque and 150HP to the wheels and if I dont have my suspension set right I will peal big time in first.
There are ways to address this though even as you get more HP. ( obviously there is a limit ) Motor mounts, suspension, and knowing how to launch. I know I love the out of the whole acceleration I get from my B15 tranny. I plan to go VE and get close to 200 WHP from it so I my be dealing with this traction issue in the near future. Ultimately if you are looking for top end speed and balance for a VE I think you will want a P11 tranny. Most P11 tranny guys are turbo guess and most B15 tranny guys are NA. Anyone else running these trannys? What is your 0.02?
