GSR_CRX

i was wanting a second opinion on this...i'd like to keep b16 gears 1-2-3- and have the LS 4th and final drive being that i do alot of highway driving.....apollo 2 highsprings on weekends kills me with this new B16 tranny i have....i still want the quick short b16 beginnin but the long top end....LMk if anyone has done this or its downfalls...

b16 tranny is a s1
LS tranny is a YS1

id keep b16 1-4 and ls 5th...from what i read by doin so ur 80mph will be around 3750 instead of like 5000..i have the same problem with my b16 tranny and thats all i plan to do is the ls 5th...

lzylst

Yes, the LS 5th will be right at 80mph @ 3750 with the b16 4.4 final drive.

The drop in RPM from 4th(b16) to 5th(LS) is very noticeable.

...well just curious what does b16 4th top out at...i want my crx to hit 11s and now im thinkin..if i have to use 5th..and the rpm drop is that noticeable is it worth doing?...i really hate bein at 5k on the interstate..?

you do not want the LS final drive. im assuming you meant 4th and 5th?

i have a S4C too, and im thinking about doing the LS 5th soon too

T4eg

go ls 5th...and in regards to 4th gear toping out or what not when i used b16 trany i went through traps at 10,200rpm (ish)@155

i plan to do 8200-8500 tops..

I was on 24.5x9 MT if it matters B16 trans works good, i switched out to gsr though

lzylst

nvm , its a loaded question.

T4eg

How can u determine that without knowing tire size or nething... 8500 in 4th on 24.5 is good for ALMOST 130mph which is PLENTY for 11 seconds. Even enough to go 10s.

But us VA people are emo
