Have never heard anything bad about them, Multiple friends have bought from them and been happy.

If I wasn't going to go with hmotorsonline, It would be with tigerjapanese.

They are a little bit cheaper then hmotorsonline. I have also heard good things about them. I will be picking up an OBD1 b18b full swap from them as its a good deal cheaper. (1290 + shipping vs 2000 + Shipping)

so an ls or b16 tranny would be beter for boosting than a lsd gsr tranny

Hmotorsonline FTW 8)

- Tue Dec 15, 2009 9:00 pm #162063 I know this thread is almost a month old, but I felt the need to clarify a bit.

Greasedmonkey: B16A/B16B/ITR transmissions have soooper short gearing. Very bad for boost. No time for the turbo to spool completely because you have to shift so quickly. LS is pretty damn long as you know, but would be ideal for your 500+fwhp highway monsters that roll from 40mph or whatever. GSR is the best all around tranny for boosted applications. Whatever you do, don't throw a GSR tranny on the boosted engine and expect a stupid fast car because of the gearing. The slightly longer gearing simply allows the power to be harnessed to it's fullest extent instead of bled off through the blowoff valve or wastegate as with a B16A/B16B/ITR tranny.

I don't mean to harp or tell anyone off, but I wouldn't want someone to see that you can use a B16 tranny on a boosted application and come back to say "eff you guys you told me to use this tranny and i blew my shit up."

Can you dig it?
