^thats a good idea, or one from an LS.

 

[Samurai_Blue]

well he has a performance engine you should use a performance tranny so it will maximize the power

B16

I meant an LS 5th gear so he can cruise on the highway without the engine screaming.

Get whichever one is cheaper.

depends what your future has. i would never put a b16 or itr tranny on a boosted honda. the gears are so short, you end up having to go into 5th going down the 1320.

depends on how tall your tires are and how high you rev. and of course how much power you make

yeah but in most cases, you end up in 5th if you make 300whp or more on a b16/itr tranny. gsr ftw

reving to 8200 on standard size tires is 117mph in 4th i dont see 300 hp traping 117 plus

in my opinion ill go with the b16 tranny since your not goin turbo anymore .but it all depends on you.

technically if its a true poor mans type-r....a b16 trans is ideal.
