i have a 96 gsr, is it worth it to chang to a type r manifold? and do i need to get a different ecu so it dont throw codes cause the butterflies are not on type r manifold.

 

a Type r manifold wont fit a gsr but a skunk2 mani is just like it and made for gsr. you dont need a different ecu but on a stock or lightly modified one you will probably lose power without proper tuning

 

X2 OEM ITR will not fit, GSR . But Blox, and Skunk2 make replicas that fit the GSR, I would chip the ECU, if the have a check engine light is a problem to you. Also, depending on what manifold you run, it might not pass Smog visual. Chip, and delete 2nd butterflies.

 

Do cams before IM.

 

if you have the money do header and I/M, with the hondata or password JDM gasket.. and get it tuned, get a little extra power from it. but getting cams would really use those parts more efficiently

 

If the ITR intake manifold doesn't fit, how come I bought my GSR with an intake manifold that has "p73" on it?

Are you sure you have a GSR head? What is the casting on the head say?

 

It says PR3-1

and after doing some searching I have now come to find out I have a B16 head...WTF!

I am learning something new about my car everyday!

 

i'm kind of in the same boat, i am swapping my gsr head with a usdm type r head with type r intake manifold.... will my stock gsr throttle body work with this or do i need a different one? also, some type of engine management/tuning would be necessary you think?
