I got a B18B mated to a GSR tranny. Would I see a difference in eating gas if I were to use a LS tranny instead? Or would there not be much of a difference to tell.

 

the more noticable diff would be in ur highway mileage.

all depends on your driving. if you run it to the ground then your going to get por MPG. i have a b16/tranny, i fill up to a full tank once a week. and i do about 40-70 miles a day.

 

So the LS would be better for highway? Thats what I drive mostly anyways.

 

Correction, an LS 5th gear set would be better for highway driving.
I think the other LS gears (3 and 4) are too long and sluggy for DD-ing...

yeah LS is better for highway driving...gsr has shorter gear ratio..

once again, it's not that noticable of a difference and all depends on how you drive.

 

what kind of gas mileage are you getting?
you may have some other issues.

 

Well I dont know exactly my mileage...my vss is broken...my speedometer doesnt work...this will effect my mileage?

mechanically, no. but if don't know how fast you are going, then i guess it can affect it.

 

Yea your right. Gas prices are a bitch these days. Was wondering if it would be good to swap to a LS tranny.

 

It's not going to make much of a difference. It's mostly about throttle not rpm. Stay with the gsr tranny.

 

you won't notice anything.
