Hi, I was woundering if a ls auto tranny would fit a gsr motor the same year rage? Im asking this because i lost my leg and i can drive manual anymore. Im selling my 2000 Honda prelude type sh 5 speed and i might want to buy a ls teg and build a gsr motor and put an auto tranny. Will it work? if so can you tell me what it would need to work? Thanks very much Drew

 

Yes it'll work...

 

Thanks. Now can anyone tell me what I will need to make it work? ecu,..? Thanks

 

ECU, radiator, tranny. you'd be better off buying an auto LS to start with and then swapping your gsr motor into it.

 

Yeah thats what i was thinking of doing starting with the ls auto teg, then going from there. Thanks (if anyone eles has any other comments on what i will need exactly can you please let me know) Thanks.

 

There is a JDM Integra SiR that came with a B18C and an automatic transmission. It would have the appropriate P72 ECU that would run the engine and transmission.

Realistically, why do you want to hassel with all of the conversion? Have you considered an Accord V6? It has an automatic and some punch out of the box.

 

werent some preludes trip-tronic? that would be fun if you cant drive standard.

I herd they have some troubles with the tranny.

I would rather have a teg than an accord

 

buy a saab or audi: stock turbo &gt; vtec, and they all come in autos.

Yes, but would you rather have an Integra with an automatic or an Accord V6 with an automatic?

 

I agree with an Audi or something...i had to revise my original post because i didnt read the original post well enough

My buddy Ben lost his leg and drives his S2000 with a prosthetic

I have a 96 gsr that is the car i track normally. and a 03 accord v6 that i actually got out on watkins glen in the early spring just to screw around cuz the teg wasn't ready. Personally the lighter the car the better for me. The accord felt like i was driving a boat, i don't know how people drive buicks!? Probably not concerned with performance. Anyway i gotta say that in the infortunate event that i lose the ability to drive a manual, i would have to get some type of trip-tronic system. They still arn't that great but better than full auto.

Just an FYI, "tiptronic" (no such thing as trip-tronic) still uses a torque converter and is still a slushbox, fancy name or not. I believe you are thinking of an electrohydraulic manual transmission, which BMW calls SMG, and is a normal syncromesh manual that is shifted via solenoids and hydraulic pressure.

OP: I am actually surprised that there has not been a flood of haters with BS worthless responses. If you really want to do this, then, as someone suggested, it would be better off to buy the auto LS and putting the GSR engine into it. There would still need to be lots of things done, and I am not sure if the torque converter would like the higher revs, but it would be the easiest starting point. Because the transmission computer is supposed to communicate with the ECU, that would be the tricky part to bypass. The easy stuff would be things like wiring the VTEC, etc.

 

It can be done, Give jimmy a call at jpr motorsports. He did my da back in the day when I had cash to burn on projects. They are a site sponcor too.

 

there is a company called level10 or something like that, they make performance b-series transmissions. Or the JDM gsr auto that someone mentioned. The gsr motor on the ls wouldnt work so great because it would shift before your power band and you would lose vtec. If you want the ls trans would do better with the ls motor, give it a super or turbo for a little more pep.

If i needed automatic i would get a grand national

there is the site, i think the trans is pretty expensive though

 

Thanks guys for all the info.

 

Why would he want an LS transmission, which has shorter gears? Your saying the shorter geared transmission would shift before his powerband, but the long geared wouldn't? If anything, he'd want a B16 transmission, for the shortest gears possible.

wrong, ls manual transmission has the longest gears. Ls automatic trans is a 4 speed with longer gears than the manual. There is no b16 auto trans.
The transmission would shift at 6800 at the highest (ls redline) and would drop it way back down out of the power. An ls motor might actually be faster with the ls trans than the gsr one. I dont know though.
The Gsr auto trans probably has shorter gearing and def will shift higher.

does anyone know if the gsr auto ecu would work with the ls trans? would it be safe to raise the shift point of the ls?

 

yesir' but you will need a few things. You might just want to get an ls swap and put your gsr block on it.

 

Yes, it will work. I seen it and owned a auto gsr. First had a auto gsr. And when I blew that tranny I threw in the ls. I used the auto gsr ecu. It was a cool shop car. Better then a stick in traffic. The drive was cool and I would run with a 5 speed.

 

What about an auto ls-vtec turbo? It will be easier then doing a auto swap gsr am i right?

ls-vt is perrty much the same as a gsr swap. Just different bottom ends. Both are b series. I know a guy at g-spot that has a ls-vt auto right now in a 95 4 door on spray, And I think its turbo now. I haven't seen it in a while.

 

didnt sir-g's come in auto? i think they might have. if they did buy the whole swap and you can just drop it in.

 

No i mean it will be easier to do an auto ls vtec turbo then an auto gsr turbo. Because the ls comes auto and ill have to do a lot to make the gsr auto. First find an auto tranny for the gsr then auto ecu. (So the ls will be easier to build then the gsr for auto ya know).
