Is it possible to do this and what are the disadvantages as opposed to staying with the B16A2 Transmission?

 

Can be done, and as far as disadvantages the B16 tranny has shorter/closer gearing as opposed to the B18A tranny. So going with the B18A tranny would give you longer gears....meaning ----> slower

 

Agreed...u should go b18 motor, with b16 trans

 

nah I say b16 pistons in b18a with b18 tranny and good clutch, my friend ran a 14.7 with that setup.

That same setup with the b16 tranny would probably do a 14.2 or better. Long gears suck, and 14.7 isn't really fast this day and age.

Highly doubtful. An LS with increased compression does not equal a GSR.

If he really ran a 14.7 with the ls tranny then he could. If...

 

I run an LS tranny with my B16. No torque + long gears = high revs to go anywhere. Its not too bad- and I get killer gas mileage- but I wish I had the b16 short gears and an LS 5th.

But yes, it can be done. It just wont be as quick.
