exactly, the b16 tranny takes advantage of the LS torque curve, added with a nice flywheel and that thing will rev really quick. Only downfall is you will lose a little torque due to the lighten flywheel.Originally Posted by southside

b16 pistons would up your compression...gsr/b16 tranny, cams, i/h/e, good tune and you should be fine.
B16 TRANNY FTW

Lol knowing this guy he'd be at 6k all day going down HWY316. Also I get better gas mileage on my GSR at the same time.
VTECH ... Making phones since 1994.
Looking for Integra Sedan (DB7/8) parts <--clickable
Q:Nitrous on stock LS high mileage. Too risky?
A:IMO nos is like steroids and giving steroids to a grandma doesnt sound all that good to me!
si tranny with lsd...short gear ratio...thats if you don't boost....gsr and ls is almost the same...
They're actually alot different.

i concur with the above
they are some wat diff. but i was reffering to the gear ratio. my bad...
even then they are different
wow, surprise i got so many post to this. but if i want to do Ls/Vtec, all i need is just the vtec head and the wirings and thats it right? But from your opinion, is Ls/Vtec better than B20/Vtec, GSR, and SI?
You will also need to tap the LS/B20 for for oil, you can get a Golden Eagle kit, or have a performace shop to do it for you.
Ls/v with b16 tranny
stock vs stock, the gsr will make more power. The b20v will make more than all of the above because of the displacement i.e. 2.0L.
You will need to tap the head for oil, and get a ls/v kit to make things alot easier considering the golden eagle kit comes with everything you need. Also, while you're doing this, you may want to change out the pistons/rods to bump the compression, p30 pistons should be fine and safe for pump gas.
you may want to do a little research first. They are not the same at all, the only thing that is the same is the final drive with all USDM b-series tranny, which is 4.4 btw.
www.google.com all the info u need on ls/vtec
lol yeah, all he needs to type in is "the first ls/vtec"
i don't need to cuz i don't have ls/gsr tranny... si tranny is still the best and it's wat i got so if i say something wrong about your car my bad dude...sheehs!!! ppl here just always wanna argue huh? if you think you know everything go open a DAMN!!! shop...
how do u know a si is whats best. if he has no goal in mind best is a matter of opinion and thats it. whats best for u many not be the best for him. u dont know he might want to boost. b16 tranny aint going to do him no good unless its a track only car.not arguing u just arent making since.i dont know everything but i did open a shop.
ls and gsr have the same 1st and 2nd gear ratio but after tat there different if i remember right
sell the car, go get a CRX shell and throw a b16,b18c, or b18c5 in there, less insurance too..

john werent u going to sell this car anyways???..dude just boost only
go back up to his thread and read again...he say if he don't boost or ls/vtec
The first thing you should do is open your wallet and see how much money is in there. After counting your dollars, decide how much you're willing to do without. Only then can you even consider changing anything. I'd be willing to bet that if you took a few dollars and performed some routine maintenance your car would be faster. Here are a few inexpensive things you can do that are often overlooked.
1. Check your timing with a timing light. If it's good and you're willing to run premium fuel, advance it 2 degrees.
2. Remove your intake pipe and look at the throttle body. Open it and see how much carbon is built up. Get some throttle body cleaner and clean that up.
3. Consider getting some new plug wires, distributor cap, rotor button, and spark plugs.
That is a good start and should keep you pretty busy. You might even get a few more MPG's while you're at it.
It'll still be slow, thats what I had on my LS. DC headers, Full exhaust, and AEM V2 with full MSD ignition. I'd say boost it with good cams and your insurance won't go up if you don't tell them

LS/VTEC is a waste of money if your not gonna change out the tranny. Without a B16/GSR/TYPER tranny you'll be running almost like an LS, but you'll just have VTEC. I would personally go LS/VTEC+GSR TRANNY for everday driving, but like everyone else said its really just personal perference. I say stay LS untill you can fully built your motor because theres no sense in doing VTEC+B16/GSR/TYPER tranny. You'll still be slow.
