GSR at 80mph was 4.5k
and B16 at 80mph was 5k
Might just be my B16 and LS trans' though?

Re: b16 or LS trans for turbo ls/vtec
my jdm cable ys1 trans in my one crx is doing 4k at 65mph. 4k rpm @80 mph is def. a S1 LS trans. The car has stock sized tires at on the stock Si rims, so its not like I'm running a really short tire that bumps up the gear ratio. The only reason I have kept this trans in the car over using a S1 trans is the LSD. Its really annoying in traffic due to the short gearing and ur constantly shifting but then again not everyone has to deal with traffic. But thats my opinion

Re: b16 or LS trans for turbo ls/vtec
I need to change my 2nd and 3rd gear now,
I was at the track yesterday, and I was crossing the 1/4 line in 3rd gear, and 192 kph, almost 120mph. 9400rpm
I usually crossed in 4th redlined at 9400rpm, usually run 12's now I am running 13.1

I have b16a2 transmission internals in my garage, I just need to figure out whats compatible to run from both transmission to get the most out of my setup.
example 2,3,4 from the b16a2 transmission, and the 1,5 th gear and final drive from the LS transmission. does that make any sense? will that work? the b16 tranny is 4.40 correct?
