finally picked up an EF with a b20 swap and a b16 tranny.... took it to the track today and ran a 15.1.... cutting 2.3's on the 60 ft... should i be disspointed?

 

u got good tires?? r u peelin out too much?? u should be at least14s with no vtec id think.. especially since you got a b16 tranny

well its a b16 1st and 2nd gear...3 4 5 is LS....running on some fuzion tires...

 

Holy crap a b16 2nd and ls 3rd?? I bet that sucks at the track! I remember how much i hated having an ls tranny in my gsr after breaking my gsr tranny

 

that is pretty much a ls tranny that u have. 3 4 5 in a b16 is where you really see the difference between the two.. so your trak time might be about right.

 

i would change out those gears back to b16

my friend built the tranny for the purpose of turbo or nitrous... will this be a good tranny for boost??

 

I ran a 15.5 with 2.2 - 2.3 50 ft with my b20 with a LS tranny. This is in a 91 civic hatch full interior.

did u have a lot of wheel spin?

 

supposively some longer gears can be good for gaining more boost which is true but i figure i run a b16 tranny on a b18c5 in a crx and i stay well above six seven everytime i shift near redline so i mean by the time second gear comes around all the boost is there for the most part and sure your gonna be shiftin like a **** but thats the purpose of the b16 and the whole reason why it kills the Ls.. so if you ask me your friends b16/ls tranny creation is not as good as a true b16 for boost..

 

Not really alot of wheel spin. I spun a little into 2nd but I was only launching at 2.5 - 3k.

yea i couldnt get a good launch on the car..wheni launched low the car would bog but when i launched a little higher i was just sitting at the line... Better tires would give me a better result!
