I have a 2001 LS integra auto. Got it real cheap from theft recovery. Anyway, Im defintely goin turbo and an auto/manual swap so I want to know which gears from either the LS, GSR, or Type R would be the best for the 1/4 mile. Also which would be the best for top end speed?

You should get the Type-R for the strip because of the short gears and the LS for top speed because of longer gears. BTW what turbo are you gonna run?

If your going turbo the LS tranny would be the choice due to it's longer gearing, meaning each gear is boosting longer. a type-r tranny would be of really no use since it shifts much quicker. this tranny is geared more to N/A applications. GSR trannys I heard are in between comprimise between the 2. but I will have a LS tranny for my boosted b20.

where can I find some more info on the b20 engines? Also, where can find some stores to buy it from?

you get one from nippon-motors.com hondamotorsonline.com
crvtec.com has some info on b20 motors (crv type not 91 prior b20's) I'm intending on a b20 staying non-vtec and going F/I.
