Default Transmission Swap

So I need a new tranny. Im not sure what the best one would be. I have a
B18B engine and Im not sure if I should get a stock tranny for a B18B or a B16 tranny. I hear the B16 tranny have a low top speed but good acceleration. What do you guys think would be better? Also are all B18B engines OBD1? they dont come OBD0 right?

The b16 (SiR) transmission does have a lower top-speed, but you'll never get to it.

I've had mine with a b16 up to 230kph with 1000rpm left in 5th gear... and it wasn't done yet...lol.

SiR or GSR are great alternative transmissions if you want better acceleration.

Type r.... Love the tranny but kills you on gas.

The stock ls trannies are great if you are not looking for major performance as well better for gas milage.

But good trannies would be a gsr sir or type r but sir and type r almost identical.
