ok i have currently in my car the 96 jdm ITR tranmny with 4.4 final drive it is perfect and i love it. but i am going turbo in 3 weeks and my friend is going all motor. he has a almost brand new 2000 ls tranny perfect. condition. he has offered me 500 bux cash plus his ls tranny for my lsd tranny. with turbo i have heard that a longer geared tranny is more suitable. what do u guys think?

 

it is more suitable. the longer gear allows the turbo to do its job. plus the 500 will get you on your way to a quaiffe

 

yea i figured that but i really love the way the lsd grabs traction. when i go to the track i know i will spin only one wheel and be embarrased as hell at the track.

my main concern with the trade is that the LS tranny does not have as stong internals as the lsd tranny, like synchros and things like that. is that true? or are the internals in both trannies made of the same quality?

 

Read one of Tom's post, Longer gears are not better for boost. This will turn into a huge argument but anyway no do not trade.

Big mistake. Your getting ripped on that deal...

You should wait until you get the turbo installed to decide if you like it or not. I think you should keep your tranny for obvious reasons. You would be giving up LSD and good gears. For what?

 

i guess we need to know what set up he has. here is the deal in what i have learned. all the big dogs in the buick world, were running powerglides with tall *** tires. to let the turbo do its job. also we locked up the torque converters on the 2004R's to bog the engine down to make the turbo work. that was what i learned from the oldschool buick guys. i dont want to argue. i want to learn. what are the cons? maybe if it is a stock stroked b16. but if it is a beastly b18 or b20 shouldnt it have enough torque for the taller gear?

 

my setup is going to be b16 with the drag kit with t3/t4 setup i think i will hold onto the lsd for now. i love it too much. and it is still in perfect condition. feels brand new

 

go for it
get the ls tran with quaiffe lsd nice set up
your turbo will love it

 

**** long gears..dont trade.

 

keep the tranny........if you dont like can always get an ls.

itr trannys are hard and not cheap.

ls trannys abundant and cheap.

After reading this, I say stay with ITR tranny. Does it honestly make any sense to stay in boost longer. Shorter closer gears are better right? Also depends on turbo set up.

 

yea thanx for the input guys. i would miss my lsd too much. plus these trannies retail for like 1200 bux i seen around. where asls trannies go for like 200-400 bux.

 

ls tranny is better for boost = fib . Its like saying "ls turbo" is faster then "gsr turbo" lol.. RIIIITEE.

 

Do a search on the topic of LS vs Type R tranny for boost. It has been covered quit alot.

 

Is it worth getting a b18c1 with lsd for 300 dollars more for a boosted b18

 

lets start with how much the boosted b18 is first?
