Well one month to the day that my 00 Si was stolen and stripped I decided to get a 99teg ls, and soon the project shall begin, wanted to know your opinions on my options for the engine.....37,000 on the engine
1. ls/v-tec, B16 head, and some agressive cams? i/h/e
2. custom turbo setup, steered away from greddy, maybe drag 3 w/intercooler?
3. what other options..................some insight needed, thanks fellas

 

Sell it!? JK Turbo w/GSR tranny

 

YOU CAN DOOOOO IT!

good choice gettin that integ, man...

 

finally someone who knos something about trannys.

 

why a gsr tranny? ls's have longer gearing so its good for F/I

 

ok....now tell me..why is longer gearing good for FI?

 

Because it gives more of an overall power range for the turbo boost. If you have very short gears on a Turbo LS, the power curve will consistently be falling out of the rev range. LS trannies on LS turbo's are exactly what you need to keep.

 

good call

 

I see what you are saying, but out of all the GSR turbos I have seen I think i have only seen one with a LS tranny.

 

Thanks fellas, does anyone got times for an ls/v-tec in a teg................

 

what do u mean by "overall power range for boost"...as long you are past a certain rpm youre turbo will be spooled up. whats beneficial bout having longer gears? i would think that going through the gears quicker ie a GSR tranny would equal faster times...because you are boosting throughout those shorter gears and with the gear ratios you will always be in boost...so i dont quite understand why long gears are better for turbo integras. (actually I already know they are not , just wondering why everyone thinks this.)

 

Supercharge and have boost even at low RPM and you can still upgrade boost if you want with larger pulley. If you with turbo and intercooler than everyone knows whats under your skirt. Go sleeper!
