i did a search and didn't find anything. being an allmotor guy i'm new to boost. right now i have a b16 from my allmotor setup. what tranny are you guys running for your boosted cars. many suggest a ls tranny and then anothes sas a b16 or gsr..so on..so on..i just want to know what you guys are using..any help will greatly be appreciated

 

keep the b16 trans.

 

so the gearings for the b16 is good for turbo? why b16 though? thanks for the response

 

SI= BEST QUICK GEARS
GSR= BEST ALL AROUND
LS=BEST GAS AND HIGHWAY

 

SI= BEST QUICK GEARS
GSR= BEST ALL AROUND
LS=BEST GAS AND HIGHWAY

 

how much boost? keep the b16 tranny unless you are trying for like 500 hp gears would be to short with that much power

 

well i'm just trying to make something realistic..like 300-350whp for my setup. i guess the ls is a big NO then

si =great for all motor
LS= great for boost
gsr = great for all motor with nos

 

Theres a lot of debate about this topic. I dont think it is as straight forward as BLUE EH3 says, even though there is some truth to it. I'd go with as short of gears as possible if I were you. The only advantage to longer gears is having to shift less. The advantage to shorter gears is being more in your powerband. There is a lot of debate about this topic though. Both sides have merit. I'd keep what you have if I were you.

no, no, no, no, no!!!

why does everybody think that an LS is good for boost??? i keep hearing longer gears are better because u can stay in boost longer...WRONG! the shorter the gear ratio the more the power that is transferred to the wheels and inevitably the ground. if u are having traction problems with your b16 or gsr tranny do not try to solve it by puting longer gears in your car, u may have traction with the LS but its because less power is being transferring to the ground due to the longer gears. if u cant grip get better tires.

personally i like the GSR tranny better than the b16 tho due to its everyday driveability and stronger diff.

"Staying in boost longer" means you are accelerating slower. from ..dustin
