I enderstand that the newer hatch is lighter, plus i like that style better. but will a ls tranny fit in it? or would i keep more money in my pocket if i just buy an ls and put the motor in there? And what about the hondata s-series ecu upgrades, do those really make a difference. Only one i have heard about is the s100 because it dosnt have the cvtec feature. which one would be better to buy?
yep, that's the one for sale...it should be home sitting in my shop in an hour or so. The owner keeps telling me he wants to sell it then the next day he'll say he's found a K-series to put in it...we can never make up our minds. I'll make sure today is a "for sale" day and pm his number later.

...anywhere you can fit a b-series engine you can put an LS tranny...all the transmission's share the same case so they will all interchange between b-series engines. If he decides to sell and you want go turbo then i'll put in my 2001 GS-R transmission...I'll have a hard decision to make about leaving my oem ITR LSD in it for you though.

The ecu upgrade will depend on what engine setup you want to do...i think i know someone with a couple spare OBD1 S200 Hondata's for a great price but would need a bunch of add-ons for turbo. Then you have Motec and a few others but I like the idea of Apexi's Power FC or AEM's standalone which can be tested and tuned yourself with a laptop but VTECKIDD knows of several more options... i'm running a stock ITR ECU with just a VAFC...plan to upgrade soon but no need until i get the ITB's (individual throttle bodies) built, come across a good deal on cams and a valvetrain, etc...just one step at a time.
