Hi, I got this crx with a built b18c5 turbo from my ex shop partner,but can't seem to know what trans it's got in there. The label reads YS1-1042022. He told me it's a b16 for short gears,but i know there are different types of ys1's out there,so pleases help... Also my rpm works but the speedo don't work. the car currently has a stock 89 cable crx cluster on there. What do i have to do to make the speedo work? I looked at the transmission and it's got a vss sensor on there.I think this trans is originaly a cable type,but the installer installed a vss sensor for the quick install...Do i need to get a different cluster? If so what type fits best for this setup since this engine could handle up to 10k rpm??? I'm on a budget and would like to go the cheapest route...

 

can anyone shed some light???

 

In the DA integras they have a manual speedo reader and it bolts in place of the digital reader. and the mph cable from the same car. I know you can buy a new mph cable from napa fairly cheap too. You could get the JDM cluster but its going to be way more of a hassle and its going to cost almost 150$ more than the other way. Hope I helped.

 

Record your RPM drop from 2nd gear to third gear from a reasonably high RPM. Divide 2nd gear RPMs by 3rd gear RPMs. If your number is close to 1.44 then it's a B16, but if it's closer to 1.49, then it's LS.

I got those numbers from http://www.ff-squad.com/tech/temp/Bgears.htm by dividing the gear ratios of 2nd gear and 3rd. The ratios end up the same in the end whether you're comparing gear teeth or RPMs.
