i dont wanna be in vtec goin 100 on the highway...let me know im goin all motor in my ek9 coupe thanks

 

Have to make sacrifices. With a B16 tranny at 70mph you will be at 4000rpm

 

you dont need to drive 100 MPH lol,

get it, it will be the best thing you ever did, i know it was for me.

 

do you currently have a GSR tranny?

If so I would keep that.

I have a B16A y1 tranny, its really short.
5th gear 45 mph almost 3K rpm,

Many people swap out the 5th gear for an ls 5th gear.
but its up to you.

And why would you be going 100?
Unless your at the track.

 

i heard that you lose your top end tho... i dunno but um wat if im cruising at 100 on the highway trying to get sumwhere in a hurry...let me know the pros and the cons of the gsr tranny on your gsr...and i also heard getting a b16 tranny wont let you revv out cuz im building my head with skunk2 stage 2 and everything goin to rev out at about 10k so i dunno what do you think i should do?

 

Best Mod i ever did, hands down

 

you lose top end after 135-140, i doubt your going to be going that fast often.

haha why? you wont make power past 8.5-9 anyway. Im running cams bigger than skunk2 st 3's and i dont rev past 9k

 

well i gues not ten then but i hear that some poeple with the stage 2 rev it up to 9-10 and feel the pull still so i dunno... but ne ways back to the tranny stay on topic guyz i dunno should i just spring the extra 600 and get a itr or ctr tranny? is it even worth it?

 

In my gsr,im at 5000 at 100 mph w/b16 tranny.

 

are you trying to race this car on the track (1/4 mile) ??? If so yes get the b16 tranny...otherwise just keep your GSR tranny.

And I agree with the others...no need to cruise at 100mph...you're going to kill someone. Has anyone ever noticed that no matter how fast you drive when you're trying to beat someone to a certain place (and they aren't even speeding) that the other person that wasn't speeding gets there not even 5 minutes later? It's not worth speeding...

exactlly

 

i think there is another topic with a link to a site that list all the diff b series trannys in terms of rpms from i think like 4k to like 8.5k? and it shows the mph you will be in gears 1-5. it covers all trannys and some w/LSD

 

i love havin a b16 tranny in my GSR. Yea the gears are short, but i don't drive much faster than 70-75 on the highway so it's not bad.

still get 30MPG without a prob.

also a type-r tranny and b16 tranny have very similar gear ratios, so it's probably not worth it to sholl out the extra money for one, except for the LSD

USDM ITR is a b16 tranny with lsd no differeneces at all..unless you get a JDM itr tranny. with a 4.7 final. i believe the usdm itr has a 4.4 final drive.

This might help you decide...it is a tranny gear calculator.

^What he said.

Get the B16 tranny and put LSD, and if you wan't even better gearing, throw in the JDM final; it's one of the best performance mods you can do while still keeping it factory spec
