I searched, but didn't find too much. I am thinking of going the route of a B20B with a B16 tranny. How well is this setup? I have heard mixed opinions. A lot say it's good for the amount of low-end torque you receive. Then others say it is not good because of the gearing of a B16 tranny compared to a B20? Any help on this subject would be great!

 

its a good setup. shorter gears and a little more torque. peppy little car.

 

It should be a lot of fun. Just remember, it's a light truck motor, not a b16. So you can't just rev it like a b16 unless you build the bottom end.

No reving to 8500 for long in that beast.

Should be a lot of fun. Torquey so dd'ing will be better.

 

a friend of mine right now has that set up in his hatch. Its pretty peppy

 

Ok, thanks guys. I just head it isn't good on the block because of the shorter gears. I wasn't sure if this was true or not. They said you wear and tear on it a lot because of the shorter gears. However, I don't see how that is possible unless you BEAT THE HELL out of the engine. So, thanks for the info guys!

 

i know someone with that setup and he beats most of the GSR's hatches that he races and i think he pulls 5th at like 95

 

it is a respectable set up for b20 w\b16 tranny
