I'm planning a LSVTEC build for my 98 RS

Heres what I have planned so far:

B18A block
ARP rod bolts with PR3 pistons
B16A1 head
ITR cams springs retainers
AEBS intake manifold
AEM fuel rail
H22 injectors
S2K TB

Thats it so far ... havn't dealt with the fuel issues yet but I'm collecting major hardware first.
My questions Are ...
What would be a good tranny for my car with this setup?
Is it a bad idea to use a B18A block for my 98?
I dunno much about tranny's but which can I use, and which can't I use?
I know that I can't use the factory B16A1 tranny but I don't know why?
Can someone break down the tranny codes and applications for me?

I know there are a lot of questions there but any help is greatly appreciated. Any comments on my setup are also welcome.
thanks!!

 

b18c ,b18c5 or b16a hydro

i'd prefer the ITR(b18c5) tranny

Yea, lsd would be better than no lsd.

Also, they made RS integras in '98?

 

ITR tranny

 

RS is the base model ... no sunroof, no power locks, no ABS ... its Canadian

Thanks for the info guys ... would I be able to use my existing tranny from my B18B?

 

You COULD use the B18b tranny but you wouldn't like the long gearing.

 

How much of a difference would the tranny make? For 1/4 mile
