my friend told me that with a b18 in a crx would run faster with a b16 tranny then the b18 tranny but he wasnt complety sure about that and said to ask some honda guys. so is that true guys?

 

Yes, yes it will.

 

MOST definately Add a LSD in there too.

This has taller gears than an S1/J1 tranny or JDM YS1 LSD. Check out this link:

so whats the name of the tranny i would be looking for?

 

yeah ....

 

a YS1 would be the best tranny because it has better gearing, and you can rebuild them without using JDM parts. The YS1 came from a 92-93 gsr (not positive about the years...)

but a S1 or J1 would probably be easier to find and cheaper.

 

So with the 94-97 GSR motor with the b16 tranny with the Type R 4.785 final gear would work pretty good?

Yup, the USDM YS1 from the 92-93 Teg GSR (B17A1) was the tranny I was looking for, the gearing is similar to those found on some B series cable trannies and the hydro tranny found in the 99-00 Civic Si.

However, I ended up going with a YS1 LS tranny (B18A1) and I will be using it for my N/A setup. The good thing about this tranny is it is a lot cheaper and a lot more plentiful then the YS1 out of the 92-93 GSR. Downside is the gearing is not very good for N/A, but that shouldn't matter to much with the setup I am running.

For the original poster, you should look for a YS1 cable tranny out of a USDM 92-93 GSR if you can find one. Be careful that someone with a LS YS1 does not try to pass of their tranny as a GSR tranny.

newBcrxer, check your IMs.

 

My freind had to retune his motor after doing this swap but he wasn't at the top of 4th at the 1/4 mile mark anymore
