I have a 95civic just laying around (well sometimes my lil bro drives it)and I was thinking of dropping in a manual tranny and adding a b16 but ...it would just be too much work . So my theory is since there are so many LS Automatic Engines why dont I just get a LS Engine and just swap heads with a B16 and have a LS Vtec automatic. Has anyone came across this theory. Respones please????

 

I wouldn't do it... The manual LS tranny has gears that are too long for LSVTEC or any other motor that doesn't have 600+whp.. The LS auto 4-speed trannies gears are even worse... If you do it I would just swap in a manual tranny... It's really no that hard.... I just don't think that you would even be able to tell that it had an LSVTEC in it... Power wise that is... Good Luck on whatever you chose to do......

 

Ill stick to the manual if I ever do but I think it is a good idea.

 

Yo, that's what i wanted to do but too afraid to ask cuz peeps be flaming bout autos.. i have a 95 integra ls auto-magic and it does low 16s in the 1/4 mile with just cai and a performance chip.. I'm gonna get a high-stall torque converter and maybe a GSR head or a custom Turbo kit..

i heard automatic vtecs suck.. i would go 5speed but myi parents might trip.. hahaa

 

Dont be afraid to ask just do a little research and be ready to answer questions.

 

ive got a friend that has a 95 ls auto teg with a gs-r engine. (its his wifes) i got him a jdm auto gs-r computer (no dohc vtec autos here in the states) and its pretty quick. i also got him the auto gs-r tranny, and i think hes gonna swap that in too. its a cool *** setup i think (although i would never have an auto) but getting this computer is something to think about, instead of using an rpm activated switch for vtec, plus you get the gs-r fuel curves and rev limiter. just something to think about...

 

That exactly what I'm going to do with my LS/Vtec.... still in the process of building. Man, i thought I would be the only person who has dont this but I guess not Dont care what other people are gonna say. I'm going LS/Vtec Auto and probably going to turbo it later in the future. Good luck with which ever way your going to go.

 

gnarly me too.. give me more info bout the jdm GSR computer.. i want dat mugg!

 

where can you get converters?

thanks!

 

Another options that i've look into was getting an auto vtec trans from japan....I've seen them go for $150 and the gears would be better then the usdm ls auto trans...Match that up with an ls/vtec and it'll be a nice daily driven setup..

 

where would you be able to get one? I'd like to get one too!! Do you have web sites? Let me know!

 

link me to their sites so i can order one.. i also need a vtec head.. preferably a GSR head

 

I've seen them on thepartstrader and hondaclassified a couple of time...My friend also import motor from japan and he had two he was selling...I'll contact him to see if he still have it and let everyone know..thanks..

 

Okay everyone....I just talk to my friend and he has two auto vtec trans in stock right now...He live in southern california so if you live close you can pick up....He's asking about $175 (neg) for it...He also sell first generation complete b16 head or complete first generation b16 motor. His name is Dan and his email address is
irev210@importjdm.com .. Please email him for any other question that you might have about the trans.....I hope that help everyone that want to build an auto ls/vtec setup

 

what if u dont live in cali? will he ship it out? to say, Washington?
