Is b.16 trans better than a GSR, or vice versa? Is hydro trans better than cable?

Also is it possible to convert a cable trans into a hydro trans?
Because I bought ah LS motor and the guy I bought it from said it's a Ls cable trans contverted to a hydro trans? Confused?

 

Bumpppppppp

 

gsr is better than a b16 tranny. gearing is way better, almost close to JDM ITR. hydro trannies are easier to come by and have less miles than cable. you can convert a hydro to a cable by getting a hydro-to-cable kit from lets say hasport.

 

Which tranny is better depends on your application. For general purpose though, the B16 is the better of the two.

JDM '96 ITR Tranny (i.e USDM ITR) = B16 1/2/3/4/5/FD
JDM '98 ITR Tranny = B16 1/2/3, GSR 4/5, 4.785 FD

 

Thanks I'm building a LSVtec and I don't want to use a LS cable trans, Im think of picking up a b16 trans because I herd the gearing ratio is better?(corrtect me if I'm worong)
I'm looking for somthing that will give me more on torque with a faster accelration..

 

Yes, the B16 has the shorter gearing which will give you more torque and faster acceleration

 

b16 has shorter gears than the gear. Like everyone else knows GSR trannies have good gearing all around. Its good for N/A builds and Turbo builds. B16 trannies have pretty short gears so it would be ideal for your LS-V build if you dont mind driving in Vtec on the freeway

 

I believe you're leaving out a certain final drive out of the equation here.

They are both excellent choices. Depending on what you want, the GSR or B16 may be a better fit to your goals. But they both work incredibly well in various circumstances.

 

Thanks for all the feed back, but is hydro trans that's beter cable?
