Just bought a 99 gsr. Completely stock. Has 246xxx miles. Is that to many miles to start puttin bold up parts onto. Cold air intake intake manifold headers and full exaust hondata s300. Maybe a turbo not to sure yet. Is it worth it or will it just start falling apart?

Do a compression test so you can see what shape it's in then decide if you want to start building it.

Would you happen to know what te compression should be? If not ill look it up

Yes, boosting it will def blow it up w/that many miles. Imo id yank it and rebuild or get low mile eng then bolt onto that. Edit- c/r on us gsr is 10.0:1

Ok what if I wait on the boost and just put the other bolt ons. Ill be one for a little while. I mean I understand te motor has a lot of miles and is gunna break down. But if like to get the most out of it. As wich is cheaper rebuild or low miles motor?

Yomama182691

Good*

Now the question comes to the actual plans for the build. If you rebuild, a lot of machine shop work/down time is needed. If you want boost, just buy a low mile and save yourself a lot of time. Then sell or keep orig motor for spare parts.

if you're just doing bolt ons, i would skip the s300.

Yomama182691

Yes just bold ons for now. Internal wont be till way later. When the money gets better if ya know what I mean. What's some good websites to buy low miles motors on?

S2BumpsticksGSR

Hmotorsonline has good reviews and decent prices

Yomama182691

Thanks ill go check them out.

200 is "good" comp. With 15-20 max varrience between all 4 cyl but with that many miles 185-195 would be ok to.

Yomama182691

Ok thank you buddy. Ill be checking it hopefully this afternoon

There's no harm in boltons on an old engine, you just might not see as much of a performance boost if the engine is losing compression or the head is tired. That said, you don't really lose anything if you have to rebuild or swap engines down the line. The boltons will still work.

Yomama182691

Gave 2800 for the car. It's bone stock. An yeah that's what I was kinda planning. Ill get the bolt ons now. And cause ill be able to re use them.
