hmm thinkin bout replacing my tranny with a b16 seeing the the gears are very much similar to type r juss w/o lsd. what do u guyz thing bout this? oh also thinkin bout throwing a excedy 3 puck so yea. . .

 

If your stock transmission is going out, then yes I think it would be a great upgrade. If not, then I think you can spend the money better elsewhere (final drive maybe). As for a 3 puck clutch, I wouldn't touch one unless I absolutely needed it, and unless you're making some crazy power, you don't need it.

 

or if he can get the tranny at a great price then you should do it and sell your and get lsd.

 

I say you do the B16 tranny with the 4.785 final drive .. that is what I would like to see.

 

I say go for it. I replaced my GSR tranny with the B16A, and it was well worth it. If you can get one for a reasonable price (i got mine for around 1100 used), its worth the time money and effort. Improves acceleration but kills gas if u do a lot of highway driving

 

so i bought the b16 tranny for 550 its a 2001 its pretty cool right now love the first 3 gears but dont knoe bout 4'th and 5th. went to the track today and didnt like the fact i gotta switch to 4th way before the track is over. with old tranny end of the track is the end of 3rd gear or right right at the beginning of 4th. but im pretty happy. thanks for your opinions.

550 i think thats a steal if it has no grinds or nothing. seen most of go for around 700+. was there any difference when you went to the track? improvements? 60ft.? or such.

cant wait to do my trans work in summer. 4.9FD + LSD in ys1 [92gsr] + lightweight flywheel = one quick revving f**ker

 

daymthatgsr12 what times did you get at the track with your gsr tranny and your b16 tranny?

 

hey the grey ghost, have you took it to the track with the b16 tranny?? if so how much faster were you?? im debating wether or not to change my gsr tranny with a b16 one to, but only if it will make me faster at the track. i got a b18c1 right now.

 

b16 tranny is alot shorter than a gsr. work alot better for a n/a setup, if u can get it at a good price, do it.

 

i need some help on deciding weather to get it or not. do i want shorter gearing with nitrous? heres my setup tell me what you think would be faster, the gsr tanny or b16 tranny.
1998 b18c1 i/h/e im, act stage3 6puk clutch,act 8.8lbs. flywheel,skunk2 stage1 cams, 310rc engineering injectors,hondata es200,75shot dry n2o.

 

b16's are good trannies in gsr. the gear ratios imo are better then gsr's

 

if u can get it at a good price definently get it. What i would do is get 4.78 FD and some LSD. Or just save up and get a jdm type r tranny.

 

oh and i just care about the track. will it make me faster in the 1/4??

 

better for 1/4 mile??? anyone know??

 

Yeah, it should improve acceleration, and therefor 1/4 times. But doesn't fifth gear top out at like 108MPH?

 

Screw the JDM FD. Throw in some ATS 4.9 on dat bish!

 

Thanks for the car russel its hella nice Do you happen to have the smog papers? I dont want to go through the CEL problems with smog : /

 

I have a JDM B16 tranny with my Ls/Vtec and I gotta say...the acceleration is awesome. They thing is...I do a SHITLOAD of highway driving and my gas bills are huge. Might possibly consider trading for a GSR tranny in great condition. Mine's got 45k on it. Don't mean to jack the thread, just trying to help some people out

 

good choice going with the b16 tranny . did you get the exedy clutch ? the exedy 3-puck is not like a act 3-puck . totally different design , very streetable clutch that holds power

 

excellent idea...all+motor? go for it!

 

I have an ls and i threw a b16 on it...it helped out like crazy, it put me into the 14's in the quarter....

The only that sucks is that it is geared low so hi-way driving is gonna suck...

But slammin 1 through 4th in the quarter mile is gonna be fun as hell...

i agree b16 tranny would be a good choice especially if your goin all motor
