someone told me that the b16 tranny is better then gs-r.. i dont think so..

 

Depends on what your definition of better is. The B16 tranny has shorter gear ratios, so it will accelerate faster than a GSR tranny, but it will cruise at higher RPM.

B16 might be better for acceleration in the 1/4 mile, cause it has shorter gearing...
But GSR is better for daily driving, IMO of course
Any of the B16 trannies are too short for me...

I love my GSR tranny

 

i like my gsr tranny too. except for the grinding 3rd gear. h:

sometimes i do wish i had a shorter 1st and 2nd.

 

well i guess that person was right.. thanks... cause i gotta gsr an i guess i'm gonna change it to b16 tranny..

 

well.. from what ive heard, the b16 is better for all motor set-ups coz itll redline quicker.. but the gsr would be a better choice for boosting or daily driving on the freeways.. i went with the b16 tranny on my b20vtec and it didnt make too much of a difference on the track for me, but i hate it on the freeway... 80-90mph cruising on the freeway hittin vtec kills my mpg..

 

Then don't go 80-90 mph on the freeway with a posted speed limit of 65 mph. h:

 

set your vtec higher so you wont hit it when cruising on the freeway. if your cams like the higher vtec that is.

 

haha.. hey man, im only keeping up with the flow of traffic.. you know how these people drive in the bay area.. if im goin 65, im holding up traffic..
