B16/B18C Trannies
 

which has shorter gearings and which will be better for turbo?

Re:B16/B18C Trannies
 

b16 but they are very similar. Whatever you can get cheaper would be my choice.

a local shop here :cough:RPM, eastside imports :cough: said a B16 tranny would knock a full second off my 1/4 mile time over an LS tranny. ::)


::smack:: this is how some people make there living, by lying to other people. the sad part is people believe them.

(correct me if im wrong)
either one is good. although, i think the LS tranny has a higher g/r so at 55-60mph you would be running at higher rpms, meaning it wouldnt take as long for the turbo to spool, you would also be close to the power band.

JDM integra type R or civic type R. but i like my b16 J1 tranny,get the turbo spooled up fast,get in the higher rpms fast and stay there.

Re:B16/B18C Trannies
 

i clearly see both as great candidates. the ctr/b series vtec trannies are really popular among the pros. look around....turbo or none turbo...they still run high gear ratios w/ 4.5-4.7xx finals. BUT i've also seen many very nice turbo setups w/ ls trans running great times. depends on the $ and opinions i think.
