well i wanna get the B16 tranny but i travel on the freeway somewhat a lot. I'm concered about too much reving(RPM=runins people motors(faster that is).)
So people what have this tranny..can you tell my what rpm you are at in 5th gear when going: 50-60-& 70 mph.
how about the LS tranny going at the same speeds?.. how high is your RPM?

blufke

ls tranny is a lot longer. something like a 6-800rpm diff. in 5th at 70. sorry its not exact, but pretty close.

hey bud..i'm running a Y1 jdm cable tranny (b16 in 90-91 SiR)in an 89 hb. i've had 2 different motors hooked up to the tranny..i'm running about 3000 rpm at 55 and about 3500 rpm going 65 mph.

damn.... that some short gears. what about the LS tranny?

dohcsideSi

80mph=4400rpm -b16 it's really not that bad

Jonathan_ED3

DANG!!!!


4,400 RPM at 80mph? That would get very annoying very quickly if you drive freeway commute.


My LS tranny is turning ~3350- 3400 RPM at 80mph. Too much over that and you just start dipping into bad gas mileage if you cruise at 80 for long distances. I've tried cruising at 'only' 4000 RPM and the gas mileage is ~ 25.

Compare that to my city MPG of 30-31 and 34 highway (at 75mph).

I hope this helps you out some, Charlie.

i think my Y1 is turning around 4K at 80.

IM ALL BOB

well I had a LS tranny before @80mph it was turning 3400 or so and now went to a gsr tranny it's turning 3900@80mph and it is annoying with a stock LS on a freeway commute in L.A since evryone and there mom drives 80+

Jonathan_ED3

If it's annoying with just an LS, wouldn't it be even more annoying with a GSR?

IM ALL BOB

now imagine a ITR 98 Jspec w/ 4.929 FD hahah on a stock LS =P

is right. maybe ill just stick with the LS

you dum ***** you want your gearing to be as close as possible for the best acceleration. Its not like our cars get bad gas milage. I have a B18c built with a UDSM Type R tranny and a 478 final. Yes I'm sitting at 5k almost all the time on the freeway. And I love it and there is no need to down shift to pass someone. Thise is the way honda intended it to be.

Jonathan_ED3

Oh my goodness...

Really, please don't say anything else in this thread.

YOU might want the tightest gearing for acceleration, but here in the real world, I wouldn't even accept money to keep my car at a constant 5K RPM for 40-50 minutes a day non stop.

Idiot.

For the record, I don't have to downshift to pass someone either.

Jonathan_ED3

Your statement is so ignorant I am now going to put it in my sig.

Kamin

your a retard
we should all feel stupider for listening to you talk.

IM ALL BOB

it's not listen to you talk.. it's Listen to you SPEAK =x J/K

97hb

WOW , and I thought 3500 @ 80 was spining fast.

Kamin

hey my engrish is good.

NorCalHB

80mph=4400rpm -b16 it's really not that bad .... damn i wish i was turnin that w/ my b16 with y1 tranny in a 90 hatch. at about 80mph im sittin around 5200-5400 rpm, NOW THAT **** IS ANNOYING . and i can almost watch my gas needle move closer to empty anyways thats just my $.02

when I use to drive to the races at ROck Falls, I would fill up close to full(maybe a little over 3/4 tank)and cruise around 85-90mph all teh way tehre....I was in vtec the whoel way down to Eau claire. When I get to the track, I would be around 1/4 tank left....

this was a GSR motor and tranny...that was back in the days...

See Are X

I have a LS motor with a J1 tranny...at 65mph Im already at 4,000Rpm's...it sucks, but gotta love the acceleration difference.

Tyler D in LV

swap in the LS 5th gear

DTAYLOR

My 91 LS trans turns 3800 at 80mph with 16" tires. Close to the stock crx si trans.

i love the b16a tranny in my four door
