b16a vs ls

long gear....thats just a myth

If you really want to go turbo, forget both the GSR and the b16 and go with the b18b1. It's the sturdiest engine for turbo apps, plus it's cheaper than the other two. You're also right about the longer gear ratios on the LS tranny that would help spool the turbo, and the b18b1 can handle 10-12 psi on stock internals with most turbos. The B16 and B18c1 can typically handle only 6-8.

yeah i am planning doing Ls swap next 1 or 2 years i'll go turbo then it should be around mid 12s

like i sad, the long gear ratio of trannys is just a myth, a turbo will spool depending on the motor set up, and HP out put all depends on the power band, and turbo tuner knows this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually no, it isn't a myth, tranny gearing has everything to do with acceleration, powerband dictates hp output, not the other way around. If you take two B16A's and boost them with he exact same setup the one with the shorter gears is going to be faster.

Whatever, both of those motors are great for turbo applications, and will be much faster when built right. And LS's cost about the same as a B16A.
