Civic EG

so i was soposed to get a gsr trans for my gsr swap and i think this kid fucked me and sold it and all i have is an ls trans would that be good ik it have long gears but iam going to be boosted so what do u guys think will the ls trans make me alot slower

if your all motor yes thats gonna slow you alot no joke. boosted the longer gears will actualkly make you fast6er giving you time to actually harness the power you make while boosting.

so if your gonna boost asap your good to go

well i mean its going to be na only for a little bit

Then the long gears will hurt you...
So boost asap

I disagree... longer gear ratios will always accelerate slower than a shorter gear ratio, boosted or NA. You will have a higher top end speed with longer gears though. With a short gear tranny, you'll top out sooner.

and topping out sooner means you will be winning the race!

Is the race auto-x, 1/4 mi or salt flats?

Sometimes acceleration is better than top end.

the racing i do is highway pulls and shit like that i will prolly do the 1/4 mile once or twice prolly more or less auto x

my buddy has a b18c1 with 10 lbs boost , with the trans that came with th emotor he said he was just rippin the tire to shreds so he put the ls in and he said its just like a na with a type r trans

Is that for or against the LS tranny, personally i would rather feel a GSR on 10 lbs then a NA with type r tranny........

boost can grow anyone a few chest pubes

but seriously, id look around for another gsr tranny. youll be more satisfied when your n/a and youll rip through the gears nice and quick boosted.

take a look at this, maybe itll clear anything up?

well if i could find one for a good price i will buy it if not the ls trans is free lmao how much are gsr trans

gsr trans are between 450 to 750 where i live... i will say from my personal experience...

i have a ls trans with lsd behind my turbo b16, and had the same trans behind my turbo ls... imo both engines on about 9psi pushed thru the gears just fine (my turbo ls pushed thru the ls gears like my na poormans did the gsr, but the speed and quickness is what changed).... and i also have a ls trans in my dd behind my allmotor stock parts build poormans r, and when the same engine was in my other hatch with gsr gears, the only real difference i notice is in 3rd the way it pulls, but honestly i wouldnt say it killed the egnine... but thats just my .02
