I was going to put a ls tranny on a b16. what are the pros and cons of that .???

 

No pros, just cons. You're not gonna like it.

 

Only pro would be if thats the only tranny you have to get your car movin.

 

pros= better gas mileage since the ls 5th gear would keep it low in the rpms instead of a b16 5th gear, if you like freeway battles then the long *** gears would be good for you, (my friend has a DA integra with a gsr motor and still use's his ls transmission and it hauls on the freeway)

cons= well u know the cons

 

yea the ls tranny has long *** gears i would just use the b16 tranny unless u like that high speed highway races

 

LS has alot longer gears than a B16. LS is better for turbo. B16 is best for all motor. Heres a web site with the gear ratios.

What he said.

Seriously, LS if your going to turbo. You can use the LS on a stock b16 but you will lose a lot more than you should. I tried and it was not pleasant.

 

what year ls tranny did u guys use??? does it matter i have a 91 ls trany.

 

Its gonna be slow, B16 already kinda sucks pulling from a dead stop with short geared tranny...couldn't even imagine it with LS gears.

There really isn't that much difference between the Cable ls trannies and the Hydro. You'll have a slightly higher final drive. Good tranny but only if TURBO. In your case, I would find a S1 or a Y1 (First Gen B16) . You'll be better off, but if you want to go turbo and have serious plans for it in the future then use the LS. Good luck
