Default b16 with ls tranny?

would it be better to have an ls tranny with a b16 turbo or should i just keep my b16 tranny on it wouldnt the longer gears be better for boost?

No, keep your b16 trans. Longer gears suck on a b16 period, n/a or turbo.

LS tranny on a b16 = bad idea, boost or not. Get another b16 trans.

and this whole misnomer of 'longer gears are better for boost' is bullshit.

is the LS jdm because its jdm, or jdm because they stripped the VINs off of it?

Don't think Honda made a ls DC chassis for the Japanese market.

I thought we were talking about trannys? And if that is the case, we have been over this, it's not a LS if it's JDM or Australian.

There was the Type R, the SiR-g, and some 4wd model.

my buddy had the same problem with his boosted b16 and he swapped the ls tranny and it made a big difference. it seemed like the ls tranny was good for top speed but the b16 tranny was good for acceleration. it just depends on what you want do you want a track car or a highway car.

If you said longer gears are better for boost, I hope you die on the day of your daughters wedding.

CARS DO NOT DEFY THE LAWS OF MATH LOGIC AND NEWTONIAN LAW FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.

A b16 will suck period. It's a b16 that's why, it's god awful and even worse with long gears. It will always be worse.
