Hey dudes i hope this is the right forum but i have a 95 ls swap in my 90 ef hatchback all the bolt ons including: h/i/e, intake mani, motor rebuilt with 99 usdm b16 pistons, 11.7to1 comp, crower 404s, transmission is stock other than a 8lb flywheel, and clutchmaster stage 3! found a good deal on a hydro not sure what year b16 tranny just wondering what are the pros and cons of this tranny swap and if it is worth the time and money???? (dude will trade my tranny with 120k for his freshly rebuilt b16 with rebuild receipt and $450.) thanks for any help!!!!

are they turboed cars or all motor ?

 

i have a ls/w b16 tranny i gets through the gears great it jus tsucks on the freeway doing 75-80 at like 45-5000 rpm. that's the only bad thing but it has get up and go when you need it.

 

Shorter gears make you accelerate faster, so defintely go with the B16 tranny. It doesn't matter if your turbo, all motor, nitrous, or supercharged.
