hey guys, im new, i have a 2000 honda accord 2.3 liter with a nuspeed short throw shifter, megan racing headers full magna flow exhaust and aem short ram air, i was just wondering wat exacting the rear end gears do... and if i wanted more horse power would i change them bigger or smaller or what?

 

Your car is front wheel drive. You don't have any rear end gears

 

Rear-end gears can mean the final drive ratio, but here its located inside the tranny case. Not as much opportunity to change as a Mustang or Camaro. Its more common to swap trannys with for example a Prelude.

No change in horsepower. It makes your overall gearing lower or higher depending on what youre trying to achieve.

 

true... ya idk wat i was thinking, now that i think about it it think it was a mustang forum... way to call me out dude, jk.. but speaking of gears... i have a sohc vtec and i was going to get an adjustable cam gear, do you know which way to adjust it to get more hp/tq?

 

Probably no improvement from adjustable cam sprocket. Unless you have swapped the camshaft or other internal mods.

 

well thats wat i was planning to do, get the gear first and then the cam shaft but how do i need to adjust it

 

Hehe I wasn't meaning to be a smart alec. I just put a short response since we have been experiencing posting troubles on this site for the past month or so. If you try to post too many words, sometimes it will not post your response.
Surprisingly, our manual trans gear ratios (1st gear anyway)are already lower than those of a stock 5.0 Mustang. We just don't have the power. I don't think you can even swap out anything to change the gear ratios, but I'm not 100% sure. As JimBlake said, people who want lower gears usually have to swap out the trans from a Prelude.

 

ya man wats up with this ive been trying to post this topic and i really need some answers but it wont let me post it, wat should i do ?

Adjust based on dyno test. No magic answer because its differentfor everyone.
