looking at a car for sale 95 gsr with a b18c5 but has an ls tranny with sucks... car has full leather its a nice car ... kids asking 6500 got him down to 5k.. what do you guys think ... im looking for a teg to do a jdm front on.

 

Just get it if you like it b16 trannys go all day for $450 so I wouldnt be worried about the current shitbox tranny lol....

 

ya and im sure you could get some money back for the LS trans.

 

yeah if you like the car then buy it, swap the tranny of your choice when you can

 

if you boost it, id keep the ls in it. win win situation.

 

LS is not best for boost. Stop spreading bad information.

 

oh im sorry blown90hatch, i didnt think i said the ls tranny is best for boost.

btw no oem tranny is best for boost.

 

just get it and swap out for a b16 tranny, they have similar gear ratio to the itr tranny at half the cost.

 

b16 tranny has same exact gear ratios as USDM type r gear box minus the lsd

 

thats correct, all usdm trannys also have 4.4 fd.

 

it doesnt matter, any tranny with long gears is going to slow you down, my friend had a dohc zc turbo and i told his *** forever to run a ex tranny but no he ran a dx tranny and it would always bog into 2nd for a bit then take off, he didnt understand **** about bettter gear ratios..

until when took my ls trans off my type r and put a b16 trans on it he was like oh **** now i see, because the car doubled in speed no joke, the car was a pig with a ls trans on it...

long gears are good for one thing and one thing only, going slow as ****, and having a good cruising rpm in 5th on the freeway lmfao

i honestly believe that the gsr lsd trans is the best oem tranny for boost, not too short, not too long

anyways the car is going to be slow with a ls trans, have you drivin it yet?

if your dead set on it, atleast upgrade to a gsr trans asap it will be a world of difference trust me

 

thats whats easiest. the gsr trans.

but i said ls cause ive been thinking of trying an ls tranny with a 4.4 final. itll be similar to the gsr but a little bit longer gears. anyone try this yet?

 

Sounds like a good deal. I don't know what to say about the tranny, I'm using B16 w/ LSD installed and it is great til' I'm on the highway and I'm hitting about 7 grand on the tach! If only we had a sixth gear option for B series!!
