how do u figure a 6 spd tranny is weaker than a 5 spd tranny?...isnt it tru tha a 6 spd has shorter ratios....shorter ratios = quicker acceleration. they only difference in a 6 spd and a 5 spd is that in a 6 spd...5th and 6th are ur "cruising" gears...also...from what i have heard about SR20's is that the S13 can handle bigger boost when full decked out....the S14 and S15 just have higher stock horsepower numbers stock....but hey..im gonna try and go for an RB25DET swap.....sooo i will see how that goes.....

just cause a tranny has a 6th gear doesn't mean its stronger. Yeah sure it may accelerate faster or whatever with shorter gear ratios and such. But the fact is it isn't strong, its not built as well and can't take high amounts of torque when thrown at it. Its notorius for slipping breaking all that fun garbage that you just don't wanna hear as your in full swing shifting into 3rd.
