i just bought a car and it's got a ls tranny with the b16a2 long block..the vtec doesn't seems loud at all..it's very quiet but from what i have heard..b16 vtec are loud..the car's also just stock..anyone have any idea if it's just the tranny that's makin the vtec low or is it just the wiring is bad..

 

b16 with an LS tranny is gonna be shot. those gears are way too long for the torqueless motor.

 

yea it sucks ***..when i shift to second and third..rpm falls to 6k rpm..but when i'm in 5th gear goin around 80 mph..my rpm is at 3.5k rpm..so i'm assumin that it's a ls tranny..sucks ***** for my b16a2..

 

who cares if vtec is loud or not? dont be a ricer.

 

how is vtec being loud being a ricer??? it's just ordinary thing that b16 is..vtec kicks in loud..

 

Hahaha whos idea was it to put that worthless tranny on that motor?

 

b16 w/ ls tranny sucks. the gears are to long. i have this set-up so i can speak from experince. the only thing an ls tranny is good for is highway crusing, its keeps your rpm's low which keeps your exhaust quiet and gives you better mileage

 

haha..true..sucks and lags very bad

 

Not too sure that it would change the pitch of vtec, but it surely would change the acceleration in and out of vtec. You should notice a big difference in acceleration once vtec hits, and I'm assuming that the tranny is this to not be the case.

because ricer's typically associate more noise with more power

as long as it works, who cares?
