I Picked UP a b20 JDM, W/OUT A TRANNIE. and was wondering what would be the best 1.8 liter cable trannie that I could use withe best gearing. Also dose antone know the hp/torque fugures on the motor, I believe its an non obd car, notor seems to be a '90. If anyone could help or atleast point me in thr eight direction I would be most apprechietive. Thanks -Cole

 

so what car is this going into, a 1990 something? if so, better ask the crx/ef forum guys...they know all about those cable trannies and obd0.

 

best all around as far gear ratios and ability to do rebuilts, get clutches and overall upgradability is the 92-3 YS1 tranny. (some JDM units came with the LSD).

 

JDM B20B = 146hp, tq, I forgot, but I want to believe its in the high 120's.

Best tranny would be a tranny from a 1999-2000 Civic Si or USDM ITR

 

CABLE ....like the guy said, YS1...or any of the b16 trannies will be good too, J1, S1...etc

 

ooh man, did he say 90 obd0 b20.....

if it is the b20a from a prelude........you dont wanna know the numbers...

 

Why the ? In his post, he wasnt even sure if it was a non-OBD motor. If it IS an OBD motor, than the Si or ITR trannies would be best.

 

thats y i put a in there, because ITR and SI trannies are not cable

 

on me

What led me to believe that he had could use a Hydro Tranny is that he was uncertain whether if it was an OBD or OBD1. Thats why I suggested a hydro when in fact he wanted cable.

Besides, what kind of chassis is this going in?

 

dont make it more than it is...i was only responding Assuming that he was correct is asking for a cable..

 

blah blah, you can always get the conversion or if its going in the hydro chassis, then hydro will work, but i was answering the ? onlt IF he was right in asking for cable...

 

Everyone......Thanks for the input, I do believe it did come out of a 90 prelude over in jap land. Number wise, maybe there not that impressive, but always remember a cheap higher comp. piston with a stock head is can be some really respectable torque as well as a daily driver. Leavingit stock w/some high. comp. pistons in a 89 rex si would bw fat. Especially if its obd-0 and I could lace my si harness on the motor. I also may have acess to a b18c5 head/dist. etc. Just for putting his stock motors head back on and retiming it. so things probally will work. Someone always buys the hassport b series swap plates and never completes there install , so im retty sure i can find them,
Ques. # 2. What ecu dose it normally function with
#3. What usdm ecu is compatable with this non-vtec poss. torque monster

Thanks for the advice..
