i herd the b16 tranny is better on the ls motor than the ls tranny what exzactley does it help with..... i do alot of highway travel and when i crusin at like 80 im at 4 grand will a b16 tranny reduce that and make it better on top end ???????? thanx

 

B16 tranny has shorter gears. RPM in 5th gear would be higher than what it is with your LS tranny. If youre going for a FI setup an LS transmission would be better, IMO. but if you want to go NA a B16 tranny would probably be better.

 

if you have an ls tranny you shouldnt cruise at 4000 rpm in 5th at 80....i have a b16 and i cruise a little over 4 grand...and no the ls tranny is not better for boost...im not going to go into that again

longer gears are never something better...ignore tre's post (if you need traction that badly, there are other methods than going to a longer geared transmission)

 

Look into getting a Quaife LSD aftermarket tranny mated to your LS Tranny. That wouldnt be too bad. Just my opinion.

 

thanx for the adviceill prob stick with the ls but i still dont know what i wanna do in terms of motor swap or just build the ls ................thanx again tho this is also my first integra so im tryin to get all the info on it b4 i make my choice.

 

you can build the ls with the money youd use to swap it....and more than likely itd be faster than that swap

 

Not to steel, but I was thinking of doing the same thing. I know it works really well on older Civics with Ls swaps, but what axles would you use on a DC integra with a B16A tranny? Are the hubs the same as a Civic?

 

you need a hydro b16...for a hydro ls....aka the SI tranny outta the 99 SI...your axles remain the same...

 

at 80MPH b16 tranny is at 4400-4500 rpm

 

not mine...im around 4200-4300...have to remember wheel diamater can throw it off a couple hundred rpm

best way i tell an si tranny is by 2nd gear...if it goes to 58-60 (on an ls) its not an si tranny...my 2nd gear is over at 51-53

 

im rolling on stock 195-95-15 ITR bridgstone re010

1st gear 25-27
2nd 50-52
3rd 75-77
4th 102-105
5th ?

 

dunno your 4th gear seems kinda longer ....mine ends at 100mph...and this is on a 205 40 17....and my third ends at about 73...minor discrepencies though...not everything is created the exact same

i got a b16 on a LS tranny and it tops out at about 130-135 mph IN 4th gear..(no power in 5th)

ain't no way it 4 grand at only 80mph...

 

you do not have a b16 tranny if you can go far over 100mph in 4th gear...sorry...

which is what is being discussed...the b16 tranny...NOT the engine which i think is what youre talking about

I have a YS1 cable b16 trans, and at 80mph in 5th, I'm cruising @4800.
95mph, I'm at 5600rpm.
End of 2nd, I'm @60mph @8400rpm
End of 3rd, I'm @ 87mph@8400rpm

running the 205/40/17's

 

the cable trans is geared slightly different than the hydro...i believe if were talking about the same cable tranny
