Hey guys I have done some research but what to see what you guys recommend... I have a built b20/vtec long block that I'm about to boost, I currently have a 99 si tranny. what I was wondering is what do you guys think would be a better street tranny?? the car really dosent see that much track time, but I do daily drive it, and it does see allot of street action... let me know what you guys recommend! thanks

 

I realize what I'm going to say here isn't the norm but I would go with the LS tranny.

WHY?= Your going to be making some descent power when tuned right resulting in the use of a strong clutch. I've always found 2 gear worthless on the street as the power started to climb (the 1 to 2 shift spinning tires practically uncontrolable). IMO you'll have the torque with the B20 and the Turbo to put the power down with a LS trans and will benefit from the longer gears.

 

Everyone I know with a boosted car and a B16 tranny is sorry they did. Spend alot of time between gears. Go with the LS

 

i have b16 and ls tranny too. and i was thinking of this too. do you think the ls tranny would work for me?
setup gsr 83mm gt30r.
hp goal 450.

 

I have a GSR.. a LS and B16 for my all motor setup. Stuck between the B16 and GSR. But the only reason I have an LS is cause I thought I was gonna turbo it

 

I appreciate all the info guys... Anyone have a clean ls tranny they wanna get rid or possibly trade??

 

Its all preference. I would work with a GSR trans before going to a long geared LS trans.

 

I honestly think the ls tranny would fit my driving preference just because I love to catch the unsuspecting z06, or mustang on the highway... Its priceless to see there faces after there 60k vette just got pulled by a civic.....lol

 

hey are all ls trannys cable????

 

Nope. Your looking for a 94-01 LS hydro for the best fit.

 

This has been covered a million times. Do a search.

In the end....B16 is going to accelerate the quickest. In this scenario, Ls trannies are for people who don't have a proper suspension setup, tire size/compound or the ability to boost by gear.....Or need to trap high in the 1/4 and need the longer gearing (but in this case go with the gsr tranny).

 

Amen. So sick of hearing the "longer gears keep you in boost longer" argument.
