I have an auto jdm b16 but i dont think it has a b16 tranny because when i tested out the gearing in 1st gear it went to 45mph @7k rpms and at 8200 rpms it went up to 55mph.
Why does it have such a long 1st gear?
how many mph does your 1st gear go up to?

^ it none f my buisness but why are u driving in D1 AND D2 for shouldnt u be in D4

why would you think that i'm driving it in those gears??
I never said i was driving it in those gears. I use the regular drive which is D4. ex. P R N (D) 3 2 1

well i wouldnt try that........ cause your trannys not built for that and a automatic IF ONE GEAR GOES OUT... your screwed.... its not like a manual when you can just skip a gear!

plus not to mention the hard wear on the motor being reved that high for so long!!!!


i would NEVER TRY THAT!!!!!!

you wouldnt try what?? CAN YOU PLEASE READ MY FIRST POST!!! What are you talking about, i put it in the regular gear and thats how high my engine revs i'm not forcing anything on my engine. I drive it regular but when i go WOT thats what it does and it goes to 2nd gear and 3rd and so on. I guess you dont get what i'm tring to say.

all i need to know ishow many mph does your 1st gear go up to with a b16 or a b18 swap because my swap goes up to 55mph in 1st gear @ 8200rpms, is that normal for a b16 or a b18 swap?

well how much pedal you giving it........... i see what ya mean now....

but if your stomping the pedal i can see how it would go that high BUT for normal driving it shouldnt go that high at all!

nah i mean when i'm racing and i have the pedal all the way down, thats when it goes that high,thats y i said at WOT. wide open Throttle, just in case you didnt know what that ment

well if your stomping the gas and it does that.... ya i dont see a problem with it....... my stock motor goes preaty high before shifting when i have it floorboarded.......

yea but for a b16 isnt 55mph in 1st gear kind high since people say it's a close ratio tranny compared to the other b-series

yeah idk what the deal is. I don't think it should be running that high at all 55mph in 1st gear that is. Then again its a automatic..probably a little bit diff. so im not sure. Could possibly be an LS tranny on it. That would suck if it was. Check the tranny code on it.

where would the code be on a Auto tranny?

if its an auto it isn't closely geared. it will be more spaced out do to the fact it has one less gear.

and auto generally have longer gears also.

a b16 auto is quite rare and not available in the US, not many were made, it could be a b18 auto trans for a teg or something

yea i heard it was rare that i have a b16 auto tranny but it's not a regular US b16, it's a JDM b16 sirII, i heard that it alil more aggresive then the regular US b16

lucky u

dude that's bad ass. i wish i could go that fast in first gear lol.

cool

it's really not that great because the acceleration is slow as ****, a LS is able to beat me from a dig like 3-4 cars but on a 30roll or higher, i own most cars. It' very strong on top end, by the top of 3rd gear i'm already past 100mph

*sigh*.... with an Auto tranny, the 1st gear is only used till like 10mph then it goes into second, so you have a very good chance that you are actually in second gear...

hum..... well from the looks of my RPMS i get up to ruffly 30-40mph before i see the tach die down and feel it shift.....

^ IS THT a full tank of gas i see [8D][8D]and it look like u got up to 40 in 1st gear at 6500rpm and about 65 in second at 6500rpm

ya i always fill up the tank;)

when coming from a fullsize truck with 16mpg and about 65bucks to fill up a tank.... 20-30bucks to fill up this little car RULES!!!!!
and i just got shifted in 4th gear at like 85 or 95 not sure...LOL i just didnt want to go any faster... PLUS it woulda took me alot longer to try and top out the speed...... talk about a SLOW acceleration. LMFAO

makes me wanna CHEAT and find a large hill and make a video going downhill. LMFAO

I'll try to make a video and show you guys what i mean, It's deff 1st gear. I'll make a video of 1st 2nd and 3rd.

It is normal and your getting beat because you have around a 30% drive terrain loss on a llready tq'less B16. You have about 110 to 115whp and about 80 ft lbs of tq to the wheels. vs a B18B manual Integra which has around 120ish whp and 105 to 110wtq. Couple that with better gearing of a manual and you are going to get beat. Sad truth is with your setup I dont see why SOHC Z6 and Y8 manuals are not walking you.

I dont think i lost that much HP to the wheels, its the 170hp JDM b16 which i believe it has 150hp to the wheels with a Manual and 135hp for a Auto. actually the friend is an Auto LS. He still gets me by 3-4 cars from a dig and the othere way around when it's from a roll. Win for me on a roll, win for him from a dig. It has to be the tranny thats slowing me down alot in the begining but i woop some ass at top end. I raced my friends Rsx type S from a roll and he beat me by 1 car. I just need to get rid of this tranny and do a auto to manual swap. But i dont want to waste more money so i'm selling it pretty soon.

All B16's in stock form with a manual dyno 135 to 140whp, the autos are a bit behind that. The B18B has more tq everywhere in the rpm range that is why he is getting you with the automatic.

so your saying that the 160hp US b16 will dyno the same as the 170hp JDM b16 sirII ? in theary wouldnt it dyno 10hp more?

You would think it would but from what I have seen they all dyno with in 2 to 5hp of eachother.

I'm guessing if modified it would yeild totally diferent results since everyone wants to take the p30 pistons out of the JDM (more aggressive) and put them in another USb16.

Lol.

The auto trans has 4 gears, so it needs longer geared ratios in order to work correctly. If you want that tranny to last I'd stop racing it, Honda auto trans' don't like to be beat on. I believe all of the Honda auto trannies are geared similarly, you got bull****ted when you bought the car for sure though.

i bought the car stock. it had the SOHC. I did the swap myself so i dont see how i got bull****ed on? The reason y i got the auto b16 is because it was cheaper for me at the time and i didnt have enough money to do a auto to manual swap. so yea, i know my car in and out, it just has one more code for me to fix and it's good as new, but yea a manual would be nice.

did you have a problem with the tranny/tranny mount fitment? cuz im doing a j-sprc auto b16a2 swap also in my 97'civic. but im using the y8 harness. and the swap (complete changeover) is comming from Hmotorsonline.com

i got your email. if you have aim let me know, we can talk instead of pming or posting

I dont know if it helps but with my factory tranny in my dx i go 45 or so at 7000 in first.

i found out that it's normal. the reason for that is, because auto hondas have 4speeds and thats y every gear seems long. If it was a 5speed manual it would be a different story.

LOL, i dont know about you guys but i dont go no where that near high in first gear i take mine to about 35 in first gear then 2nd gear i can do about 70 but as far as normal driving i go from first to 4th -_-

holy smokes, 55 in 1st gear. crazy!
