Jake_ISR MP3 Project

[Jake_isr]

I just purchased this MP3 for a trade of my 2001 Honda Accord Coupe. I had a MSP in 2004 and I wanted to start my own turbo project. It is currently in the process of getting a 3-4-5 gtx gear change, MSP welded LSD, stage 3 clutchl, and fidanza flywheel, performance motor mounts. Pics will come soon, to bad I already started on paint interior piece that were yellow before I took pics. OOPS.

so are you going for a drag car, motox, or just a fast street car?

[Jake_isr]

I sold it when I thought i was getting out of the Navy to go back to college, but then my wife turned up prego. To bad it was already gone.

 

[323]

Where did you find the GTX 4th gear??

Where did you find the GTX 4th gear??

PG

 

[Jake_isr]

So I just dropped over 1500 dollars in parts to PG for all my tranni parts and another 109.00 to SU for the last motor mount. That is going to put me at one SU Motor mount, one from SLS, and a front and rear one from AWR.

 

[kharris4]

that sounds pretty reasonable for a rebuilt/upgraded tranny.

Is that mount from SLS the pass side? And what exactly is the benefit of the gtx gears, why 3,4,5?

i was just about to ask the same thing, for future reference

 

[Jake_isr]

yes the SLS is the passenger side and the gtx gears are the same ratio as the protege but much stronger.

 

[zoomin MP3]

So why not replace the first two gears, especially since they see the most abuse?

Good luck with the SLS mount. I had to modify my bracket quite a bit to get it to fit.

 

[Jake_isr]

I'm not replacing the first two gears because they look fine. Also I want to wait till the come out with some better replacements.

actually just slightly stronger, if you want the real deal I can give you the info for who sells race gears made to take 500whp+. If you plan to drag it the GTX will last just a little longer than the stockers, i've seen them break after a few passes at the 1/4. What do you plan to do as far as power Turbo or stay N/A?

 

[Jake_isr]

Going turbo after I build the engine a little. Not really looking for more than about 300 HP

You may have some issues with the tranny even with the GTX gears. Try it out though...ive gone through 3 trannies and a welded LSD on daily driving with just 9psi. But everyone is different.
