i am going to do a b16 swap then down the road turn it into a ls/vtec what is a good trans to put in for both engines?

 

This question is pretty vague.

The B16 trans has the same gearing as the ITR trans. From the factory, in the U.S., these are the shortest geared B series transmissions. The ITR version has a LSD.

The JDM B16 transmissions also come with a LSD option.

The 98+ JDM ITR transmissions have a shorter final drive (4.7:1). I believe 4th and 5th are longer gears to compensate for the shorter FD.

The GSR is a geared "medium". No LSD in the U.S. The JDM SiR-G trans has a LSD option. You can fit a ITR 4.7 FD in this case.

The LS or B20 transmissions both have relatively long gearing.

 

im looking to come out of the hole quick and get up to speed as fast as possible i should go with a b16 trans with an lsd?

 

Out of all the info you were just given what do you think?

 

if you can b16 w/ lsd, and put an ls 5th. practical

 

In the future, please create more informative thread titles - edited.

 

The B16 LSD trans is the cheapest way to go.

The ITR trans has better synchros and a stronger diff. It's expensive, however.

The JDM 98+ ITR trans is even shorter geared (because of the 4.7 FD) than the B16/USDM ITR trans. It also has better syncrhros and a better diff...but is usually the most expensive B series trans.
