vtak tranny or LS
 

Well I have been searching around for a few days to see what transmission would better sort a B series turbo vtec. I haven't been able to find any intelligent answers onto what transmission would be better and why. Any real information appreciated.

Whichever one doesn't grind.

Run whatever you've got. Short gears with traction are fun, but at a point, finding traction is hard.

Re: vtak tranny or LS
 

Depends on the gear ratio. Ls tranny with a lower gear ratio would probably be better traction-wise. Your choices will also be different if you decide to run either a cable or hydro tranny.

I've been wonderin the same question lately. I've got a built block GSR ready for boost, currently using cable S1/J1 trans. Gears feel too short for me, fun on the street, but I'm a top end type of person who enjoys traffic free top end highway runs every now and then. I was thinkin a LS trans would be more preferable, but i'm not sure how much i'd be suffering on the everyday driveablilty of the car since this motor makes like no power out of vtaX (9.1:1 compression). So stick with the B16 trans or grab and LS, or maybe even toss in an LS 5th, i kinda hate sittin at 5k at 80mph daily cruisin to work and back?

Well I currently don't have either so that's why I am doing some research first. I have heard from several people that traction is a big issue with using the vtec trannys. Then again other people were saying the LS is just to long and isn't suited for a vtec motor designed for higher rpm. Haven't heard anything for any on boost though.

Boost makes everything better.

At about 230-240whp on an LS, GSR is a good tranny and so is B16B with LSD, those are the only two I've gotten rides/tuned, and they hook decently and make really fun street cars.

Re: vtak tranny or LS
 

this is completely true, shorter gears are always better.

i like vtak tranny's 3rd gear with boost.
