traction issues can be solved. i'd go with the shorter gears. an h22 tranny is not liek a type R tranny so he should be ok.

In the issue of SCC Nov. 03 volume 15 no. 11: it talks about a h22 swap into a 5th gen accord...page 128-129

"...As another option, the Accord manual transmission will bolt up and has the same internals, apart from slightly taller gearing. Taller gears may be good if you plan on force indution."

Though I may not be explaining my points very well but I consider SCC a pretty good source of information....Take it or leave it.

the only time i've seen short gearing be a problem was on an LS/T with a b16 tranny. that was DEFINITELY geared too tightly. Unless you are running a type R/b16 tranny on a LS or b20, you should be a-ok. suspension work will make more of a diff than which tranny he uses, along with rim/tire selection.

If you are only running 7-10psi...I def think the h22 tranny is useable....if you were trying to run 22-25psi I would say no...But I already said this

honestly who in the world have you ever seen run an accord tranny on their big power h22 turbo car? H22 trannys arent that short. Not like a b16.

With all the torque a H22 already has + EG + Turbo = longer gear ratio

Try frankenstiening some trany gears
