ok im about to buy a LS motor off of one of my cousins friends soon.. the only thing is its not going to have a tranny with it and ppl are telling me to get a itr tranny ... soo what i want to know is how do i deal with the cable to hydro conversion... the motor is going into a 95 civic dx thanx .

 

i dont understand why you would be converting why dont you just get a hydro tranny and it would be fine. well what set up are you going with are you going to turbo later down the road or all motor. for all motor i would go with the hyrdo si tranny they are cheap and have pretty short gears if you want turbo go with a ls tranny hope this helps

Because he has a cable trans right now.

 

im going to go turbo on it in the future

 

Your 95 dx has a hydro tranny in it right now so you wont need to deal with the conversion.

yes, unless previously converted to cable.

dont get an itr tranny, the gearing is too close for a b18b, you will top out somewhere around 115mph in 5th gear. also for the money of an itr tranny wyou can have a ls or maybe even a gsr tranny with a quaife in it. go with the gsr tranny (as i have done) or perhaps an ls trans with a lightweight flywheel to help you rev up faster

 

what motor is in your car right now

 

use a b16 they have short gears and do a ls-vtec and use a b16 head

?

Did you mean the ITR tranny gearing is too short? Because while GSR gears are actually a little longer than the ITR, they're just about as close, from gear to gear. And actually the GSRs that came with the YS1 trannies have shorter 1st and 5th gears than the ITR trannies and have identical gear ratios for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear, reverse, and final drive to the 96-97 spec ITRs trannies.

YES

 

if you want to go boost get an ls tranny with an aftermarket LSD and you will be golden. the b16 will have you topping out at around 120 in 5th.

 

my friend has a built gsr motor with a 62-1/t4 with a b16 lsd trans and he finishes in fourth at rougly 120ish @ 10.9?? i would personally go with the gsr trans over the ls for boost... itr/ctr trans for all motor setup

 

with boost gsr trannys have probems with traction cuz of the smaller gears i know someone that has this problem
