so my setup is b18b ls/vtec b16a2 head. running on a b16 hydro tranny, and its time for a new tranny (1st and 4th make funny nosies). wondering should i go with b16 again or gsr tranny? i know b16 are great, but 4k @60-70mph and great short gears better for track and great on acceleration. but how about the gsr tranny,any idea. all i know it has longer gears, does that mean like alright acceleration and low rpms on freeway?

 

gsr trannies suck, too tall, stick with b16, the highway rpms dont matter

Yeah, unless you like getting good gas mileage

 

what about ls tranny, any pros or cons on the LS tranny?

 

I have gsr tranny on a b20 and it cruises pretty good. My speedo is in KM only though, but it seems to be going faster than I should be (~135 km/h) at 4k in 5th.

Pro
-Great gas milage
Con
-Slower than ****

That about sums up the LS tranny.

Get a GSR. The gears are still pretty short but you don't run 4000 RPM going 60 mph.

 

my buddies del sol vtec gets 30+ mpg. stick with the b16 trans

 

and then ITR tranny, the best out there, same as b16 but w/o LSD, right! same gears, except final drive and lsd of course, and more $$$

 

Drop a B16 trans w/ an LS 5th.

You'll have awesome quickness and great gas mileage .

Obviously the fuel mileage won't be the same as an LS due to the fact of the final drive being shorter, but it'll be hell of a lot better than the B16 5th.

 

so....

itr tranny; absolute nothing better (LSD and final drive gear), but high rpm's.

gsr tranny; easy to find, good on gas, long gears, low rpm's.

ls tranny; sucks, longer gears, good on gas, etc.

b16 tranny; fast acceleration, short gears, high rpm's.

well my chose is either ITR GSR OR B16, thanks for the help HTmembers
