So yeah, he's gonna do the wiring. He knows (or at least seems to) what he's doing. Stop raggin on the technical aspects, especially those of you who are very habitually wrong--not gonna name names--on matters like this.

If you buy a "complete swap" a hydro setup will generally be about a grand more than the cable. Of course, the gearing on the hydro B16 trans is not that much different from the cable and definately not as tall as the GSR trans. Add the cost of an OBD-1 ECU and a hydro-cable conversion kit to the 1st gen swap and you still haven't matched the price of the hydro swap. Of course the hydro swap is guaranteed to be a newer motor so that's another thing.

Dubster your LS has "never lost to an Si" because you're talking about racing stoplight-to-stoplight. All the VTEC B-series motors walk in 3rd gear, everyone knows that.

Of course in the original post, saying "don't bug me about xxxx..." is a sure invitation to have people bug you about it.

Now everybody shut up if you don't know how to make the mechanical VSS work with an ECU which wants to see an electical VSS signal.
