Im looking to get a b16 tranny for my 99Ls. I hear the gains are worth it and i wanted to hear it from people who know. What kind of gains will i be looking at?
This is a daily driver, I go to the tack often. any suggestions thanxx.

 

i think if you search you'll find some info

 

anyone who has ran a ls with a b16 tranny BUMP

 

I had a b16 tranny on my LSvtec set-up its great for track use but if you have to drive a good distance the 5th gear sucks. You can swap out 5th for highway driving tho. Overall a great swap tho.

 

i did the b16 with ls, it was night and day, the best mod performance wise, i'd shell out the extra 300 for an itr tranny. 5th gear seems a little short but you get used to it.

 

I had one on my LS, it was fun as hell... til I got on the highway...

80 mph @ 4500 rpm FTL!

 

i dont understand. What do u mean it sux to drive on the highway with? is it bad for the car whats the deal?

 

B16 tranny has way shorter gearing than an LS, therefore has better acceleration.

 

so what about it sux on the highway i mean i drive maybe a half hour on the highway to get to the track is this bad

the high cruising rpms make it bad for the highway. if you can deal with that, go for it.

 

is it bad for the car i can deal with it i love high rpms

 

naw its fine for the car, b16 is the way to go

The reason I thought it was "bad" for freeway driving was due to when I had an evo2 on.

4500revs + evo2 = quick loss of hearing

Yup,

AS said before try and get the final drive from your LS to save some gas.

 

i have one with the LSD on my GSR. best mod i did period. street driving picks up way faster and is lots of fun. ur just going to visit the gas station more often but well worth the mod

I have a 2nd gen b16a2 tranny on my b18b LS with a light flywheel and CTR n1 crank pulley and the car pulls great. Ran a 15.0 in my coupe with a few things left undone so I should see a mid-high 14 on a stock b18b with b16 tranny.


All depends how you plan it out for the engine to put out the power. The b16 tranny is great and ontop if you find one with the factory lsd then it's very worth purchasing it
