This is a discussion on Which One? in the Integra forum
in stock trim, both will pretty much be able to hold the same amount of boost. Just get it tuned for the love of god, that is what matters most, not a 0.8 difference in the compression ratio.....

 The LS transmission blows. How do I know? I have one. Anyone who does any competitive racing at the track will tell you that the LS transmission sucks, for drag racing and road racing and anything else where you have to beat someone else in order to win. Instead of blaming traction problems on the gearing, try attacking the problem other ways. If you are doing this car the right way, you'll be running some sort of engine management. Most if not all EM programs have a launch control option, which works wonders to launch while minimizing the amount of wheel spin. Traction bars as well as mount inserts (or as in my case, solid motor mounts) reduce wheelhop, which is a big culprit contributing to traction problems in drag racing. Finally, if you are serious about drag racing and want to reduce the wheelspin dramatically, get slicks, or at least wider tires. My suggestion - GSR, hands down, and while you are at it, install an OBX LSD in the transmission. You have a better platform to start with.

| I also have the ls tranny and yes it does suck but this guys want to use it for street driving with a turbo. That tranny should be just fine for the turbo motor as a dd. |

| It's far from optimal, and inferior to the GSR transmission. If he is on a limited budget, it will work, but if he has the cash, it's best to spend it on a better starting platform. a GSR has a much higher potential from the start, and for only a marginally higher cost. |

| ummm....he's talking about buying an entire car, bro. and also, buy a 95, because in 1996 they switched over to obd2. Obd1 is necessary for tuning with Crome, Hondata and Neptune. |

Get a gsr, you'll be happy. Either way, turbo or na, it's a better car than the LS by far. | |

| All integras to my knowledge have 4 wheel dics, but I'm not sure about the 96-89s. But I don't even think about those, as they suck. |
