Ok im doin the h22 usdm swap into my Si Lude... So i have the h23 tranny. My buddy just got a vtec lude, so it has the h22 tranny. I know theres differenes in topend vs low end power with each tranny. But lets say we raced off the line... maybe quater mile or so... who would win?
No, the H23 has longer gears than the H22 to take advantage of the H23's lowend "torque". The H22 trans is geared to keep the engine in the higher rpms where it makes its power.
Since fact is, engines are the same, You have longer gears, you will lose.
They aren't that much different, I think good driver with H23 tranny should be able to keep it damn close, now the F22 tranny, that's a worthless set of gears, although, it might be nice to have an F22 5th gear.

Yeah, but if you put that same good driver in the car with the VTEC tranny, he'll be faster yet. Everytime we compare like this, don't forget that when you talk about "well, a really good driver could take him" that the driver of the other car, or the faster car, is a complete doof.
First of all I would say it shouldn't be a determinign factor at all in a race. Way too many other variables that would effect it more. I think all other things being equal the car with the h23 tranny would have the edge. If you look at the torque curve of a h23 and actually took the time to try to caclulate everything out, I think you would just be shifting more often than you need to with a h22 tranny. Its not like a h23 has a large power drop off at 5k or anything.
But that's the transmission suited for the torque curve of the engine it's mated to (H23) I think, in the end, the best match for the VTEC engine is the transmission matched to it, not the 23 transmission.

Where highway mileage is wanted as well as daily driving / street racing madness..
yes, it depends on what your conditions are like and what you want.
H23= lower rpm cruising/better gas milage (not much albiet)
H22=better acceleration, higher revs cruising

anyone know the part numbers for a vtec trans and a h23 trans? i had mine replaced a long time ago, they said it would cost 400 more dollars because it was a vtec trans, but when i got it back it seemed slower. if anyone knows how to tell the difference let me know.

please, some one find out for sure. i can't find that info anywhere. if he is right, there is a shop around here that is getting an ass kicking. thanks ahead of time to anyone who can help.
oh thank the lord!!! i just found somewhere that had the info. you have got it backwards. i thought i was gonna have a stroke. not that its such a bad thing to have an si trans, it would have been because the shop lied to me.

It would be sweet to have a good highway gear for sure..
anybody have a guess on what mileage would be going to H22 tranny vs. H23 tranny on the same engine? .. like would it even register an MPG or would it be a couple / 3 of them?
