Greetings all. I have only two posts and yes I searched without resolve so please keep flaming to minimum thnks.

I have been reading everything I can find about the ls/vtec build and I now have down the engine part of it as far as what Im going to do and what I need ect, ect. However I couldn't find a whole lot of info about whether or not I should do a gsr trans or the LS. The reason I ask is becuase I can get the LS for 75.00Usd from a local junk yard in good condition, and well GSR's are a little more difficult to find for cheap, so Im guessing the gsr might be better for my setup but I havent had a chance to get my hands on either and take it apart to see how each is built. I am mating a b16 pr3 head with a b18A1 bottom and plan on building the bottom half, getting the crank balanced and shotpeened, forged pistons and so on. it will be going in a 91 civic HB.

I know alot of you have had a ton of experience with both so just wanted some input, can I build the LS?, just get the GSR?? that kind of stuff. Thanks again in advance

gsr or b16 trans is good for your setup

 

it depends what you're looking for out of your setup but honestly , i wouldnt use a ls tranny on any b-series vtec motor . if you want acceleration , definately get the b16 tranny . they cost about the same as a gsr tranny . i ' ve owned all three trannys before .. lol and honestly , even the b16a tranny is a little too long ..

 

Thanks alot guys, exactly what I was looking for!
