how much of a difference is there? i know the gsr tranny or even b16 tranny would make the car accelerate faster, but how much faster?? i like being able to do 80 on the highway and be at a decent rpm. i have an N/A ls for now but im planning on boost within a couple months. i guess im looking for people with experiance with both trannys in 1/4 mile and overall feel. thanx

 

80mph on the highway on a gsr tranny should be at ~4k rpm. Im sure the gsr tranny would be better as its not too short or too long and many people run a gsr tranny on boosted setups.

 

thanks man

 

if your going to be 80 on freeway you mite want to stay with ls tranny...cause i have a ctr tranny on my teggy and it is short as hell..and going 80 is when vtec kicks in for me...

 

It depends on the power and what kind of turbo your going to be using. I know someone who was putting down 500whp on a 2 liter LS/VTEC and needed to go from the GSR down to an LS. But if it's just a small turbo setup, and by the sounds of it yours won't be too extreme, then a GSR tranny should work fine. You could also just do a GSR with LS 5th gear for the 80 mph highway cruising.

 

lots of people say if you go turbo go with ls tranny thats my friend had an integra ls turbo and was built he ran mid 13's then he got a b16 tranny he was running low 12's unless u got like over 500hp stick with gsr tranny

 

Get a GS-R tranny and swap in a LS 5th gear. Best of both world.
