GSR or a usdm Typr R with LSD?

 

LS with a Quaife.... Oh sorry thats not a choice....

 

Type R with lsd, no doubt.

Why would you want ls? Do you have some magic honda motor that makes more power at 5k than 6.5k?

 

depends on what kind of driving you are doing... if you drag more, then the type-r ... if you prefer high speed freeway runs, then get the ls... my .02...

 

How would freeway driving with the R tranny be like?Will it be like a b16?

 

itr with kaaz lsd like mine.

 

type R baby all the way geraing quick is much more fun that gearing with ls

 

So Type R over the GSR tranny? Why does everyone keep bringing up the LS tranny haha

 

[sarcasm] no you want the LS tranny so you can stay in boost longer!!!!!!! You people dont know anything!!!11[/sarcasm]

 

... i dont know from experience... but doesnt the ls tranny allow for lower rpms at high speed cruisng?... i guess (from what i have read, correct me if i am wrong) the best would be a hybrid tranny... type-r with an ls 5 gear or ls final drive = close gear ratio of type-r with lower rpms for high speed cruising on the freeway... i think...

 

Type R with LSD gets my vote.

 

ls with quaife gets my vote. I don't have to gear crash every split half second. I just let the motor and turbo do the work while I'm sipping my cappucino and smoking my marlboro killing some TA.

 

HAHAHHA
Im doing LS turbo, but im going with a GSR tranny with a quaife...

Also on a JDM GSR tranny, did any of them come with LSD...?? i cant remember

thanks

actually, the smarter choice for boost would be a LS tranny with LSD since its got longer gears.

but since thats not an option, go with the GSR and put a Quife in it for the money that the ITR one costs.

 

you have got to be ******* kidding me.

 

Thats definitely crzy. if you ask me.. LS with longer gears dont mean jack... you gotta accellerate faster not wait for god knowsn when to get going. gsr,b16a and type R thats teh way to go.

 

Viren,

What do you run in the race car if I may ask?

Also what do you guys think about the B16 transmissions out of 99-00 Si's?

Adi

 

b16 or gsr cant find many type R too expensive for my blood.. I stick with b16a cheap nad effective.

 

Would you say that the B16a tranny is better to go with over the GSR??

Adi

 

I ran both, b16 then went to an ls. If ur motor makes good torque the LS is sweet. Kinda drives like a DSM, smooth long gear ratios. I ran both with a b16a motor pushing 9 psi on a revhard kit. I would have to go with a b16 trans if torque isn't available. But for a b18c or 2.0L my personal opinion goes with the LS trans.

GSR and LS are pretty similar, gsr trans would've been my first choice but an LS trans was readily available to me.

 

B16 or the LS. B16 first, then the LS as a backup. The Quaife LSD is interchangeable between the two if the B16 tranny dies, and maybe you can put the 4.4 FD in the LS to shorten its gearing up a little.

 

No way!! You want a Gsr with good torque.

 

Exactly Art I was gona say.. Gsr.....Torque..... Whaaaaat????

Adi

 

LS and B16 have the same final drive.

 

That is untrue.. b16a is 4.4 and ls is 4.2
