Great question Lee, the answer is simple, when you have an engine like the B18, the easiest way to have no problems is to mate it to a tranny that will fit that engine. So all you have to do is make sure that the body of the Metro can fit (and if it can't, you can try and make it) the B18C, an ITR Type R tranny and rear end. This sounds very simple but it's not obviously, the Metro's engine bay is VERY cramped compared to an ITR and so is the underbody including the tranny tunnel. This car was heavily modded in all directions, and it worked great.

was it a B18 or a B18C5? cause the C5 is the ITR's engine.
i've heard ITR's with turbos...the sound is sick, hell the VTEC on the B18C5 sounds sick alone.

Tek, B18C is all I was told, he said it was out of a GSR.
GS-R engine vs. Type-R engine (aka B18 vs B18C5) is about a 1 to .5 second difference in the 1/4 mile (my friend has a GS-R hooked up that runs 14.9, my friends type-r stock runs 14.5)
the vtec on the B18 is a tad quieter and weaker then on the C5, both are good engines, as far as honda is concerned.
