Whats up guys,Im new here to HT.....Last night i just picked up a 94 gsr with 72,300 original miles,but it has an LS tranny....I used to have a Stock ls Eg hatch...For some reason my integra feels ALOT slower then what my hatch used to,I mean the motor sounds solid,clicks into vtec at 5k everytime,has good oil and all,but it just doesnt pull that strong...What could be wrong,Im stumped

 

It's probably because the integra weighs a little more, and you should think about getting a new tranny.

 

yea its the tranny

 

its the transmission.

 

A GS-R engine w/ LS tranny can't use the powerband as effectively as with the correct GS-R tranny. The LS in your Civic probably had more torque down low, and also had the correct LS tranny to effectively use a powerband like that. Put on the correct transmission and I'm sure you'll see a marked improvement.

 

get a new tranny... B16 FTW!

 

Yah, if i were you i would just pick up a b16 tranny.

 

Not only are you using the wrong trans. but the integra weighs more than your hatch. Swap the trans like everyone is reccomending and you will notice the improvment.

if you like 5K rpm on the highway

 

I'd use to have the same setup... GSR Longblock with a LS tranny. It sucked man...I used the LS tranny because it was a spare that was lyin around in my garage...Now i've a B16 tranny on my GSR Block and it was happily ever after from then on...

 

he didn't mention anything bout using it on freeway, but daily driver/street/track..

 

1. you teg is lighter then your hatch
2. your tranny sucks
3. look for a b16 or ITR tranny NOW!!!!!!

b16
ITR

...get which ever is cheaper/affordable for you, you will not be disappointed at all, but you will be if you stick with that ls tranny.

 

Thanks for the replies....I know LS trannies are garbage im not new to hondas,Just HT.....I still think it should pull harder then what it does,When i get on it in 1st i cant even make it chrip tires or nothing feels slow as ****,But off 2nd and 3rd it pulls nice.....Wierd,thought a gsr would be a lil quicker then what it is,Guess i was wrong

Only if his hatch was weighed down with fat chicks and the integra is carbon fiber and stripped.

AGREE! hehehe

 

get a b16 tranny for now. Only inconveinance(sp?) with them is cruising on the highway at 4.5K rpms, unlike the ls tranny.
