I have a built ls/vtec, i had a gsr without lsd and i bought i type R with lsd and i broke the housing. The gsr felt faster in my car i think mainly because of the longer gears what is the best tranny for a built ls/vtec? My motor is built top to bottom pushing maybe 210 to 215, please help

 

bump to the top

 

Try to get either a 4.78 or contact ATS both of my civics have 4.92 and a friend of mine has ATS 3-4-5 night and day with whatever tranny's you've had.

 

sorry i am connfused is that gear ratios ?

 

B17 hands down.

 

that is what i'm getting thanks for your help

 

what about an LS tranny? any thoughts

 

i only used ls tranny wit my turbo, longer ,slower gear ratios great for spool but i dont think its good at all unless you want a dependable one ... for an all motor class.... ahh i miss turbo

 

b16 1-4th LS 5th.. freeway mileage! a lot easier on the wallet when daily driving your car on the freeway.. this is all motor.. i don't use 5th on the track anyways.. and i don't know anyone with a street car that does either?

*edit* with ctr diff.

sean? james?

anyway the LS tranny for better turbo spooling is a very big misconception....do a search on it here and you will see. the faster you can get the rpms up the faster you can spool the turbo....an LS tranny is too tall for that purpose. you also dont wanna stay in any particualr gear too long....you wanna go through them.

oh by the way its me nate....

anyway as for this guys question.....what about a B16 tranny with LSD.

 

if you compare that the price of a gsr tranny and a ls tranny ... for you money .. the ls tranny will do wha it needs to do at the price you can afford ... might be missconception but for those who rode in my car while it was up.. kno the feeling my gears went to fast that i hardly could control... well after all whats are we sayin within the weeks to come the motor will be alive again in my brother car ..... we can feel this again .... now i do understand that the b16 tranny wit (lsd) phantom grim will suc but for a race car it will do the job

..nate thanks for response negg..

 

B16 tranny or gsr with ats gears get ready to pay some $$$$$$ for the ats..

 

Your right but it's worth it.


Check this site out they have some nice tranny's (www.gear-speed.com)

 

well... the mods i'll post on the forum cuz its a 93 civic dx hatch stripped n gutted with a bottle depending on a jdmb16-a t-3 turbo wit a b16 tranny phantom grip

or check out out site

 

uh huh.

and what do you want to do with the car. there seem to be all the experts but none of them have asked what your goals are?

what are your goals?

i come from the fi forum so i guess it is in my nature to be a dick no hard feelings

 

ITR 4.785 FD Tranny is the best. It ****** rocks. Sends me down the 1/4 at 13.6 with only 161 whp and 111 Ft-lbs of TQ

lol, uhm.. i only read drag racing and all motor.. so thats where my mind is. sometimes hybrid. good question though.. maybe he wants to do open road racing in nevada and we are all giving him bad advice!

 

i would like to be able stay in my gears and use the horsepower i do have with the type r it seems like i was shifting too fast, when i had my gsr in it was nice but no lsd, now i bought a gsr and rebuild that one alittle with my old gsr tranny along with adding the lsd from the type r. I should have my car up and running tomorrow i will let everyone know how it feels, so has anyone tried an ls tranny for sure??? O yea i like to do everything i have a show paint job, and i try to go to the track along with the illegals and i love to do autocross also, not too much freeway racing up here in the mountains

 

the faster you shift, the faster you are accelerating
its physics...you can't argue with that

go for an S4C with an OBX/KAAZ/Quaiffe diff...and you'll be great. you coudl also swap over to a GSR/ITR sized diff with b16 bearings, and run a 4.786 JDM FD.

 

thanks a lot for your help i actually had my **** all torn a part yesterday so i think that would be a project for another day and some more money too
