ok about 3 weeks ago my engine blew. the timing beat tore and therefore bent my pistons and valves. now in going to fit a b18c jdm engine . I want to asked if i could use a ls tranny and drive shaft on a jdm gsr engine. Ill be getting the b18c jdm and ecu but not the tranny and drive shaft. any one got advise. thank you for your time .

 

Ouch, that sucks..

 

Yes your ls trans will work. All b series engines and transmissions will interchange

 

are you sure it did damage to your pistons? if not you might get out cheaper buying a v-tec head and doing a hybrid swap, but i just went through this and you'll probably come out cheaper doing a straight up swap, just curious, how much did you get a b18c for? i just swaped a jspec b18b to replace my timing belt tortured ls

 

well the b18c jdm spec is 2400 with out the tranny and draft shaft.

 

is it a jdm b18c or jdm b18c type r?

 

You can use your old GSR trans... it's unlikely it was damaged.

 

LS trannies are good for 3 things.

1. mileage
2. turbo equipped engines
3. slowing down otherwise stock vtec engines

I remember hearing from an old place i used to go to, this guy blew his LS engine, and got a type R motor, but didnt have enough money for the ITR tranny, so he just bolted it up to his LS tranny. The new engine was significantly slower than his PREVIOUS setup with the LS motor. Those damn LS gears are too tall. Something like he was running high 15s with his LS, and with the new setup it was like higher 15's low 16s....the gears were so tall, it would go out of vtec after a redline shift. if i dont make sense i'm sorry, i just woke up.

 

its a jdm b18c 180hp.i belive the type r jdm are over 200 hp.

 

ok now i read this on hv. a guy has a set up on his del sol -Engine:
º LS 1.8L bottom end
º PWR Aluminum radiator and FAL fan
º B16A VTEC head
º JE 9:1 turbo pistons
º Crower rods
º Iron sleeves
º GSR cams/valves & Type R dual valvesprings
º STR cam gears
º MSD 6A ignition
º Greddy E-manage & Profec e-01 EBC
º T3/T04e turbo .57 A/R
º Rev Hard Intercooler
º Stainless Steel equal length manifold/HKS wastegate
º Custom 3" turbo-back w/HKS titanium turbo mufflerol. My question is will it work on a integra and will it be reliable.
