yeah they are cheaper here too, But I'm worried about doing itt

iamthefollower

what are you worried about?? I mean it'll be a little more difficult to do than a b series swap.. just have to drill a hole in your fire wall for the shifter cables OR you could go under the car, the only downfall to going under the car with the cables is the heat off the exhaust could weaken the cables and they could stretch a little easier which is bad... but the other most difficult thing is getting the back mount to bolt up...

leaning towards the LS/Turbo setup now with the GSR tranny.

Might have found my LS motor that has been completely rebuilt. Comes with an LS Hydro Tranny.

My question is now: I originally wanted the GSR tranny because of the aggressive gears. If I am planning to boost which tranny would be better? LS or GSR?

Hey man I read your thread! If you need anything I can come help you out. Willing to learn something new.

But I would go the ls/turbo route! I am turbo'ing my d now. Just hit me up if you need help or eg parts.

the Gsr would still be a good candidate for a turbo set up too...

I am sticking with my LS trans... for the LS/turbo that i am runing..... if you have the extra money i would prob get the GSR but i am on the interstate alot and i like to keep my RPM down specially since i am going turbo.... hopefully saves a little gas....

LS longer......(CHEAPER) lol
GSR short..
b16 Shorter.....

Looks like a great platform!

Get to work man, and turn some heads!

iamthefollower

I was meaning the Gsr tranny...

Because it'll get you into boost quickly but the gears won't be too short.. it's good for racing.. but if you are going to be driving the car a lot on the highways and such like one has said, the ls would be the better tranny, even though the Gsr has a 4.40 final drive the gears aren't really that short in them.. but the Si tranny is def. not a transmission for your car since you are going boost...

iamthefollower

You could probably find one in the For Sale forum...

i hate my b16 tranny in my em1... at 80mph on the highway.. my car is screaming at 4500rpm

So, basically I need to stick with the GSR tranny if I can afford to...or if I plan on driving a lot on the HWY I should go with the LS tranny?

G0TB00ST

Turbos with ls tranny on the highways are awesome

keving85

yeah thats what all the research i have done has led to..... ls trans i think is better for a daily driver turbo rather than a GSR....... GSR will get you better ET's though..... i am thinking .5 sec faster and that is being real liberal about it....
