Hi just wondering if this would be good to swap my gearbox for the b18c2 one? would there be gains?
My gearbox is getting pretty rough after 220XXXkm its ticking and whining, my friend had just stacked his car and he has the B18c2

Why not swap both the engine and the gearbox? Both are better. :D
went into a tree with damage to the engine. but I'm looking for a quick fix for my box, will it work out?
gear ratios are not good for a b16a IMO. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to keep it in the powerband when you change gears. The gears are too long.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yeah the car will feel slower, because the gear ratios are designed fort he B18C torque.
It will not match your stock engines power.
What about the guys that do the b16 and jdm b18c gearbox?
lol, Webby and I first noticed that when we were going hard head to head one time. Ive also watched heaps of Best Motoring Int. (see type R legend on youtube). B16a makes decent high end power, the box suits it quite well. I usually shift at about 8,400 (near cutout) and it keeps the engine nicely on the boil. A great engine for the track, but not a drag light dragster.
Haha yeah Luke told me about that once.
And +1 for Type R gearbox. I'm going to start looking for one soonish I think.
I find I can shift at 8100 and it won't drop out of Vtec below 6000. Heaps of fun :)
