00 si tranny good?

[rastilnmajere]

Hey all i have been posting latly and asking alot about my swap i am doing another question, is an 00 si tranny good for a gsr swap? somone told me that they are short ass trannys person said pretty much the same as a type R tranny but no LSD if anyone can help anwser this for me i would greatly like it thanks again all bye. any info and all info is wanted.

IF si and type R are not even close tell me what the si tranny falls close to as far as gears go short wise a GSR? LS? or what thanks again.

Si is short as hell but really if you have traction i'd go with that unless you can get an ITR tranny for its good ratios lil taller but also has OEM LSD.

an SI tranny on a c1 will just shread pull will be great high way RPMs will be up there.

[rastilnmajere]

OK so si tranny is the best way to go u unless i want ITR tranny other then that nothing better then? what about gsr thanks for reply btw.

all 3 of the trannys are good picks depending on your freeway milage i'd say for prefomace
ITR
b16
GSR

for a Daily Driver
ITR
GSR
b16

Best milage would be
GSR
ITR
b16

ITR has OEM LSD and awesome ratios but costs more.
an aftermarket *quaife is best* LSD will run about a grand uninstalled.

My friend test drove a GSR with a Si tranny in it. Said it kicked ass and was a lot of fun.... thats all i know about that.

Just went from a usdm GSR tranny to usdm si, and WOW!!! i must say the gearing is much shorter and the acceleration has improved alot i feel!

can you put an SI tranny on an LS? or is there no point?

yea and its kick ass got the nice low end that the B16 lacks good mid range and being so short pulls the slow revving LS along damn well.

I've seen LS powered cars with SI trannys whoop b16s

I almost went with that set up but i stepped up bit higher

[CBURKE]

Damn thats cool. that will give me something to look at. can you use the same CV's?

(sorry not trying to take over the thread)

[Ace$nyper]

I think so I dont remember off hand but LS + SI tranny = ownage of the stock b16 crowd

[turboEKhatch]

Keep in mind Fourth gear tops out at under 100 MPH with the B16 trans on an LS, you don't have a lot of top speed.

[CBURKE]

OK, so with the b16 tranny it would be better for drag or short races?

[Ace$nyper]

drag is short honestly I have a set up near that very near it and its on my DD yea sucks on highway but so worth it for everything else.
