what is the best geared trans,accelerationwise, for a turboed ls/vtec??

 

just keep the LS tranny

 

i dont have a trans at all as of now. i had a b16 in my crx until the differential broke and poked holes all over the differential housing. so i pulled the motor and now i am doing a ls/vtec turbo, and i need a trans so i was just wandering which would be best for me. thanks

 

i agree with rtype11. get an LS tranny. they have longer gears, which are better for turbo. longer gears, stay in boost longer.

 

assuming im taking it to 8000rpms will i be goiing in and out of vtec when i shift with a ls trans, thanks for your help guys.

 

I run a GSR tranny, and the gears go by somewhat qucik, but power is always there.

 

do NOT get a b16a tranny whatever you do, and I would stay away from the GSR also, if you're serious, stick with the LS. I have the b16 and I spin the **** out of my heavy *** 17's in first second and third and let me remind you that a turbo have i not. hehe. good luck.

Oh, forgot to mention, built b20vtec.

Yup LS tranny is the way to go... You might as well slap on a LSD while you are at it!

 

The real turbo tranny would be a GSR tranny with LS Final Drive.

 

Hey matt you asked "will i go in and out of vtec when shifting"? isnt that why you have a vtec controller? i would go with my ls trans....i will sell it to you cheap....lol it comes with missing spider gears and a hole in trans.haha...talk to you later. imastilsmoque

 

Do u know off anyone trying this, and if so how did it work?

 

Yea, I've already come to the conclusion that the best combo (For me) is a GSR Tranny with an LS 5th Gear and FD.

This way you have that same 1-3rd Gear as the LS, your 4th Gear is Closer to stay in VTEC. You have the LS Final Drive to lengthen all the Gears to LS-Spec. Also, you have the LS 5th Gear for Highway Bliss. I can't think of a better combo from OEM Honda Parts ona Boosted Application.
