well from what ive heard a b16 tranny on my 94 gsr will make a big difference. ive never driven a gsr/b16 tranny combo. just want to hear from people who have some experience with this setup....

 

It's just shorter gears. I like the GSR gearing myself.

 

hmmmmm

 

yeah it has shorter gears. If your trying to improve 1/4mile times, it will help slightly because acceleration is better with the b16 tranny. If you drive on the highway all the time, its probably not the tranny for you.

 

im not really into drag racing...tearing up twisty back roads is more my thing

 

Sure as hell ........ its the next best thing to a TYPE R tranny
Just bolt it up .. with a good clutch ..... and have fun

 

AT 80 MPH THE RPM IS LIKE 4-4.5K..ITS ANNOYING ON THE HIGHWAY..SPECIALLY IF UR EXHAUST IS LOUD

that's not much worse than a gsr tranny. it's not all that bad. i'd trade my gsr tranny for a b16/itr anyday.

 

What i did was trade my apexi vafc2 v-tech controller for a jdm b16 tranny so i put the stock lsd that came with it along with its 4.5 final drive and its 1st and 2nd gear matched with my gsr 3rd 4th and 5th gears.Let me just say its an awsome combo i get the lsd which makes a world of a diffrence launching and turning corners then i get the short 1st and 2nd and on freeway i got the longer gsr 4th and 5th so its not so loud but i like it better than my stock gsr tranny and my cousins type r! And i dont have to worry about my vin. number couse its all in my gsr tranny jdm ones dont have em to cops it looks like its stolen and that gets your car towed here in cali.

THANKS FOR YOUR IRRELEVANT OPINION

i just got upgraded from my ls tranny to a type r, its a pretty significant difference in acceleration. I definately like it.

hell yeah, i would get the b16 tranny. I can notice the difference in my friends car. I like it. Unless your boostin, you will be shiftin every second.

 

B16 tranny, open it add an LS final. With that slam threw 1,2,3,4, ad cruz in 5th.
No such thing as an after market quiet system when vtec hits it hits.
So yes it is definatly worth it, and if your not satisfied with it there at least 1,000
hardcore street riders looking for one that would be more then happy to take it off your hands in a heart beat.

b16 tranny with an LS final?? He might as well just save him the hassle and keep the gsr tranny

 

B16 tranny is worth it...

96-98 type r tranny same gears as b16 just lsd

newer type r is
b16 1st and 2nd 3 4 5 are gsr gears

 

is it the b16 with a special motor.
wat im asking is
i found a b16a2
would that be the trans with the itr ratios or is it only hte b16a1 or a3?
im unclear?

 

usdm itr tranny's have the same ratio's as b16's only itr's have an lsd. 96-97 jdm itr's also have the same ratio's as b16's. only 98+ jdm itr's had different gears.

 

my ls/vtec dc has a b16 tranny and i cant complain about anything. i hit vtec between 80-85mph(4800rpm) in 5th gear.

It's an awesome trans. A cheap alternative to the ITR trans. You can even get it with LSD...so it becomes pretty much like an ITR trans.

It will probably be the best bang for your buck. The GSR trans sucks real bad. I've driven both...owned 3 cars with a b16a and a car with a B18C. I almost did trade a B16A trans for my GSR trans...but the guy backed out. I generally disliked the B18C1....except for it's good low end/mid range.

 

I myself have been considering a B16 tranny, I say go for it
