Fast and Furious 3

[amy@af]

we just recently stumbled on a place to get this deal:
b16
tranny (LSD +$300)
ecu
AVID mounts
AVID linkage
aftermarket axels
----------------------
$2300 shipped to your door

mounts:


linkage:


axels:
no pic, sorry. but i can tell you they are good up to 300hp.

of course it isn't HASport stuff, it's not the price of HASport. haters need not apply. if somebody out there is looking for a deal like the one i mentioned, let me know...i figured it couldn't hurt to mention what was found.

How many of you guys acutally have experience with a b16 mated to a ls trans? Mines pulls great and I dont call out of vtec either. I do engage at 4500 though and I havent had any problems with it at all. I had my car at school today and took 2 of my friends for a ride and they were both very impressed, the one being a trash talking VW owner and even he admited my car would walk all over his modded 1.8t.

Hybrid, just curious what rpm do you shift at not to fall out of vtec?

As a general rule, I shift at 8.

revving higher also poses another advantage...the wheels spin faster, therefore you have better acceleration whether you're making power up there or not...only advantage to the vtec engines IMO...no flaming please.
BTW: a B16 w/ an LS tranny has got to be one of the worst setups ever. it'd be only as fast as a sohc vtec w/ an Si tranny at best...the b16 just lacks the torque to pull itself through gears with the ls tranny.

On the good side...have fun being able to do 160 MPH w/ that setup!
