I'm running a B16 swap in my hatch. I've got the S1 trans w hydraulic clutch. I drive interstate 80 miles a day. I need something that doesnt spin 5000 rpm at 75mph. What do I need to look for and how much difference is there in rpm?? Thanks

92civicb18b1 · 04-03-2008, 08:12 AM

LS trans is the most economical in terms of gas mileage and price and will spin at a much lower RPM,I think around 3500.

**OKCZombie** · 04-03-2008, 09:46 AM

get the gsr tranny - it is just about the perfect balance IMO

AHHVTEC · 04-03-2008, 01:39 PM

just put a ls 5th gear in it

BrutalB83 · 04-03-2008, 02:36 PM

Keep the B16 tranny. Put in a GS-R fourth and an LS fifth. Done.

92sihatch · 04-03-2008, 05:02 PM

Is it worth it, as far as fuel milage and the wear and tear of 4500-5000 rpm every day??

|Chaz| · 04-04-2008, 12:19 AM

Probably...

92sihatch · 04-07-2008, 05:48 AM

Anyone have gear ratio's for all the(LS,GSR,S1)?

BrutalB83 · 04-07-2008, 10:48 PM

Look in the FAQ/Reference section, there's a thread about it...

92sihatch · 04-08-2008, 05:45 AM

Got it, Thanks! Ok, if I am to buy an LS trans (junk yard hunting), what year car do I look for and what engine? How do I indentify it? I have a hydro trans.

92civicb18b1 · 04-08-2008, 06:34 AM

Since you have hydro you want a 94+ trans, you'll notice a slave cylinder on hydro trannies. IIRC the trans's should have their code stamped on em.

BrutalB83 · 04-08-2008, 01:24 PM

94+ is hydraulic, that's what you need...

92sihatch · 04-08-2008, 02:08 PM

Thanks guys!!!
