but what tranny is needed, what year tranny and do I need anything else besides what I have listed....do I need custom shift linkage b/c that is what I was told.

please let me know what is needed for the swap to be successful, thanks

 

any b series tranny and shift linkage will work, but id get an tranny off an em1 or itr. also try a search,theres tons of info on ls/vtec

 

all B-series trannies are interchangeable.

get an ITR or B16 tranny.

not sure, but i think you're going to use the 99-00 Si shift linkage.
maybe somebody will chime in on that.

 

but which one and what year...I have been looking for an ls tranny because it has a long gears (in case I want to do a turbo) but I am having huge prolems finding an ls tranny what years do i need 94-01 or what do I need exactly, thanks for responding as soon as you did!

 

yes, get any 94-01 LS tranny, and a 99-00 Si shift linkage.

if you knew which tranny you wanted, why did you ask?

 

longer gears w/ turbo is a myth, get a gsr tranny if u go turbo

 

I wasn't for sure it was just what I was told in conversation, but since I am having a hard time with finding a hard time with finding one I was wonding what else would work and also beside tranny, shift linkage, possible ecu what else is needed.

 

Also does the set-up of the engine sound nice?

 

ya how much did u spend?

 

$1400 with authentic cerificate of mileage and shipped

 

set up sounds good.

use a P28 (D16Z6) ECU, and get it chipped.

 

damn 1400, thats pretty good.

 

yeah I got if someone who builds engines (Hasport), so is there anything else that I may need!

Suprised that Hasport didn't tell you what else you needed... But sounds like a nice set up.

 

they told me that I need an ecu, shiftlinkage that they will provide and a tranny my engine mounts will work but I was just hoping that someone who has the ls vtec swap could respond to help with any questions that I had to make the process smother
