Reccomended trans and ecu for b18b1..

[truchoEG]

i was wondering what tranny to use and what code ECU would work with a EG wiring harness obd1?...

Any manual B series transmission will work. I would run a GSR B18C(1) transmission for the shorter gears with a decent 5th gear for highway mpg's

OBD1 P75 ECU is what you need.

B20 engine B16 tranny works wonders

I had a B16 transmission and absolutely hated the 5th gear. 70mph @4,000rpm's ain't too economical.

But the other gears are fun.

Still....GSR transmission FTW

The GSR trans is ideal. If not that, personally id rather have the b16 over the LS.

You can buy a cable/hydraulic converter kits, but the easiest thing is just to find a transmission that matches the setup already in your car...

My RSX-S has this problem. At 75mph the tach sits right below 4k. Apparently you can use a 6th gear from a TSX, but K-series parts are still more expensive than B-series stuff...

Guys do trow the TSX 6th in. Just like B-series guys throw the LS 5th in.

I do not think its worth it unless you are tearing the trans apart for a rebuild or something.

I believe if you have a 05-06 RSX-S then it's a 4.7FD. 02-04 is a 4.3FD (better hwy mpg's)

I love my itr transmission. I also loved my old b16 trans. but you guys are right, if you want better mpg then go with gsr or ls.
