right i have a 1996 civic 1.5 vtec ek3 was told that it has a 1.3 gear box on it

what difference would this make from the 1.5 gearbox ?

was told it makes it quicker lol

 

[crxhugh]

yeah, usually the smaller engined models have shorter/quicker ratios, so the car will accelerate quicker, 5th is usually the same so they all do relativly the same speed

we put a 1.4 box on a mates 1.6 and it was quite noticably faster, but they don't usually last as long as there not built for extra power.

why do you want to swap it?

 

[ross-ek3]

oh ok then

i dont want to swap it its already in was in when i bought the car just found out today from the last owner about it

 

[crxhugh]
