i just have a quick question, will swapping a b16 tranny on a b18a raise the potential and power output of the motor ?

 

transmissions don't affect power, but it will help out your accelleration a ton.

 

will it cut time on the 1/4 ?

 

shorter gears will lower 1/4 times. the car will be considerably quicker.

the only problem with it is if you do alot of highway driving. the tranny will force the motor to be at higher rpm's during highway cruising speeds, which is not cool for an LS since its an unbalanced motor.

plenty of people have done the swap though. and i havn't heard of an LS coming apart because of it. but you never know.

 

better accleration. got one if u need one. bought it and ended up not needing it. still in box. bought it for 550. and hundred shipping. just want money back. broke axle. didnt need trany. u can call at 757-477-4980 anytime.

what do you mean its an unbalanced motor and around what RPM will it be at when cruising at around 65mph ?

 

65 mph would be around 3500 rpm. i don't think the balancing of the motor would be a problem.

 

my S1 pulls 4000 at 65. but thats a crazier tranny than the y80's and other hydro clutch stuff. so i'd say 3500-upper 3000's. that is higher than the LS's.

shouldn't be a problem, just thought i'd throw in the info that cruising speed would be at higher r's. the LS is a balanced motor, just not as good of a balance as the vtec motors.

im running a 92-93 gsr tranny (ys1) on my b18a1 and it makes all the difference in the world. honestly, the higher rpm's on the highway are definately worth it. i recently bought a DA witht he stock ls tranny and it was soooo much slower.

i love my tranny.

 

im running a b16 tranny on my LS... accelaration had a noticeable improvement, but your car will be @ like 4100 rpms at 80mph

 

ok wait a minute... ever since i bought my DA last year, its always had a YS1 tranny. with a b18a1 block. so do you mean to tell me that my tranny is a gsr tranny? or is the ys1 on my car an LS tranny?

 

there are 2 different ys1 trannies. (had you looked at the tranny guide link you would've figured it out )
one is the ls, which you almost certainly have. the other is the jdm rsi/xsi/ usdm 92-93 gsr. if you can cruise comfortably on the highway at 80, then you do not have the jdm ys1.

Me too. How come you have several different threads started about the same thing?

 

shhh....
