RS_TEG Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 should be a direct swap...but why swap a b20 in there if you all rdy have an b18b?? Well at first i wanted just the tranny but my friend told me there was the motor with it too. will just bolting the B20 tranny to my B18 do any good?

SNooPYjdm Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Naw if you want a new tranny go with a b16, GSR, or type R but an ls tranny is better than a b20 imo. if you swap the whole motor to a b20 depending on the year u might gain a little power or lose a little. But either way if you cant get one of the trannys that i listed then get one of those. But if your just gona swap the b20 in there keep the ls tranny.

SNooPYjdm Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 well a b20 trans wont do anything for you. Make sure to check your local and surrounding craigslist sites and ebay they always have b16 tranny's. Otherwise just get a new ls tranny but a tranny wont gain you any power it will just make your gears shorter. what are you tryin to do with that motor you got, do you have any plans for it.

SNooPYjdm Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 well if you decide to go N/A go with the b16 tranny but if you want boost stick with the ls tranny. As for the GSR swap I think its a direct bolt in not 100% on that though. Instead of doing a GSR swap which is way to expensive for what it is have you ever thought of goin ls vtec. Just keep your b18b block and throw on a GSR or B16 head with either a GSR or B16 tranny its cheaper and you will see a beter power increse than just the GSR swap.

SNooPYjdm Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 yea good choice on the N/A haha best way to go imo. But yea for that way i would say do the ls vtec its alot cheaper than a full swap and you can pull alot of power out of those motors. Or for full swaps you can always throw a TYPE R in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I didn't read the whole thread, but I'll comment about the GSR tranny. Stay away from the GSR tranny. The gearing sucks IMO unless you're boosted, and even then an LS tranny would probably be better for boost. The GSR tranny on the 1-2 shift drops you out of your powerband pretty bad (drops it to 5700rpm in 2nd when you shift at redline in 1st). This sucks. My B16 tranny (albeit on a B16 and not a B18c1) was much better and the gearing was beautiful. Only downfall is the higher revs when cruising on the interstate. Of course that could be solved by adding an LS 5th gear to th B16 tranny I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
