I have a b18b obd2 that I'm planing on turboing over winter but I'm unsure of which Tranny will be the one for me. I'm using this set up to get about 300whp and just use it as daily driver around town and a 1/4 mile track car which Tranny would be for me please help... thank you. oh yeah turbo i have gt3582

everyone will have their own opinions.. GSR, B16, or LS personally, i use a LS for the torque and shorter red line on my boosted B20.
Let the comments commence!

for the ls redline i would say gsr. i have a b16 on my ls and on a setup making 300 hp thats going to be alot of shifting going down the track lol. i shift into fifth at 100 and making 300whp you will be trapping over 100
and why would longer gears be better for turbo? or are you just repeating what you've read/heard?
get a ls trans with a type-r final drive
have you ever had to shift a boosted ls with a b16 trans????? and no not from what ive heard i actually have drove and owned fast cars. Your prolly one of those kids that talks all kindas s**t on the internet about how fast and beast your car is but if it came down to it its prolly a bone stock civic
actually im the first one to admit my car is slow. its not stock. has a b18 swap with a b16 tranny. 15 sec car you best believe its a beast.i know how it is driving an ls with a b16 tranny. which i why i said on an ls with the stock redline i would take a gsr tranny over a b16. stock redline with a boosted ls and b16 tranny you will be into fifth gear before the end of track. i shift into fifth just under 100. with an engine that can rev higher its a different story. shorter gears accelerate faster than longer gears period. boost or no boost.
X2 Thats is true! shorter gears accelerate faster than longer gears period. boost or no boost.
But when you add monster torque, shorter gears arent helping your 60' times So depends on the various set ups people have.

interesting to hear, my buddy with his b18c swap thinks he'll kill me with his longer gears because i have a b16a2 head on b18c1 block (built) with b16 crank and 00 si tranny. we're running fri night to see who wins
Myself? I dont use it on the line.. Dropping the clutch with 223lbs of torque is going to be a disaster on axles...
then again im getting re tuned to improve my 60'.. if i ease it in boost i spin, if im out of boost i bog..
You have stock axles? How are they holding up lol? I'd go with LS tranny for boost...
yep.. advanced w/ lifetime warranty.. but i go thru them a pair a year.. just switch em out.
that probably what i will be doing once im boosted. since i cant afford upgraded axles for a while anyway
yea.. i looked into stage 2 axles and they were close to 600 
Not worth it anyway if you have lifetime warranty...yea.. i looked into stage 2 axles and they were close to 600
if your taking it to the track drag racing it alot its worth it. unless you like snapping axles at the line and constantly changing them. which is what will happen if you get sticky tires and try to launch it hard
X2 most dump the clutch on the rev limiter.. with mine, i have to feather it.. still working on it..
