so i have a fully built b16 motor and a gsr trans but my tranny makes a funny noise so im goin to be pulling it off and getting it rebuilt, my question is how good is a ls hyro trans on boost for the 1/4mile time, i know some people use ls fifth and final in gsr trannys, im using 24.5x9slicks if that helps any

 

Def stick with GSR gearing

 

LS trans and 4.785 final drive work well for street and drag depending upon turbo. Otherwise, just fix your b16

 

That sounds pretty nice. I had a LS trans with 4.4 final and it was nice for my LS motor but sucked on my lsvtec. Now I have a complete LS trans and hate it! My GSR is back together and this time has a 4.266 final and I can't wait to try it out.

 

GSR trans, get it repaired and never look back, the LS gear ratios arent ideal. The 2-3 shift is terrible and a 4.7 final drive isnt cheap.

I personally run a GSR trans with LS final drive and 5th gear for highway driving. perfect gear combination IMO

 

The GS-R with the 4.266 loses a lot of acceleration and will be have similarly to the LS trans, unfortunately

 

i dont know about a lot of acceleration but yes you do lose some. my buddy and i have very close setups and making the same power and he ever so slightly pulls on my car because hes running the 4.4 final but its nto a drastic difference.

I would like to get a B16 final drive and get it into my trans. I have to run a B16 because i have a b16/ls LSD which is why i went with the LS final because i had some laying around and didnt have a gsr LSD so...

 

My motor makes more torque than I think it should and I plan on making well into the 600's over the winter. I need the extra gear and don't want any taller tires than what I have. I have talked to several people about using the LS final with GSR gears and they absolutely love it.

The car made 309hp and close to 250tq on 8 psi. I would run out of gear trapping 118 with an 8k rev limit with 225-50-15 BFG's. At first I thought it might have been boost cutting but I set the shift light to 7900 and sure enough it came on at the 1000' make and rode the limiter to the finish line.

 

Just get a gearset that has close ratios. The LS 2-3 is not. You can play with speeds via tire size.

 

I like the LS 1-2 shift it's just the rest that suck it seems. In fantasy land I would get a 4.05 final with B16 1-2 GSR 3-4-5. I would only use that trans setup with 600+. Looks like gringoteg likes the way his is setup and so does 2 of the faster guys here locally use it.

 

if you did b16 1-2 and gsr 345 it would shift like an LS trans from 2-3 lol

 

Thanks for ruining my dream! J/k. Anything I could do to get more MPH and still have relatively close ration gears without running super swamper sized tires is what I am trying to achieve.
