I know the B18s arent know for their stratospheric RPM and the B16 trannies go through the gears fast, so will I have zero traction or what (15" wheels)? I hate no traction!!! and I'd rather not have to get a Quiafe anytime soon, any suggestions or thoughts?!? Thanks

 

I have an LS w/ B16 tranny (in CRX) and even naturally aspirated with 195/50/15 S-03s ... From a roll in first gear on dry pavement I will spin all the way to redline and spin for the first half or so of second. Lots of torque to the wheels, but the gears top out at low speed. Lots of shifting. It's great fun though.

what's your top speed? 90mph?

 

Any other takes on this? I figured the Si tranny and 18Bs were common combos here!!!

 

well, if any of you ever wanna trade, i have a cable LS and I need a cable B16. see the sig.

 

The only downside is the high revving on the highway. The performance is much better with the b16a tranny. With the power you are gonna make, traction will be an issue regardless. Use the b16 tranny and get some drag radials for the street.

 

u can rev it past redline; just make sure the valve lash nuts are on tight. get an LSD too anthony u know u want one.

 

I guess you would know this.

 

yes from experience, twice.

 

Heh, as bad as I want another whole in my pocket. Thanks to tony I just got a big whole made !!!

 

hey me too..2 times...damn fuel cuttoff is at 8700...and if you miss a gear...****
