dexcool?....isnt that only for GM vehicles?...lol why would anyone even suggest that for a honda?..nahh i have never been a big fan of Napa


**NEWW** cause i know how alot of you hardcore honda tech guys hate having people have multiple threads open so i just added to this one.

Ok this guy has a gsr swap for sale, and he is having trouble getting rid of it and i asked if after so long he would start to part it out...and i was wondering...what should i offer..i am looking to get the head and ECU and Intake...because correct me if i am wrong but my LS intake wont work on the gsr head right?...and is it even worth doing if i am still gonna have the LS tranny?

As for the not being able to get the sticker; that's BS. I'm sure the inspection place is lining the shop's/machanic's pocket and vie versa if they specifically sent you over there and they want to change the axle. I would have just replaced the axle... because I'm lazy and don't feel like fooling with grease and a re-boot kit. It only takes about 5-10 minutes to change the axle with basic hand tools and if you do it right you won't even put a drop of diff fluid on the ground. The AutoZone axles; never had a problem with them, but then again I've never broken an axle because I now how to drive, and I also beat the **** out of my car(s). I've replaced them when boots tear, because like I said, I'm too lazy to get all dirty with grease lolFor the GSR swap..... What you're looking to do is make your LS into an "LS/VTEC". It can be done with only headbolts (B18C) and a new VTEC headgasket, but don't expect it to hold up very long.Things the GSR has that the LS doesn'til squirtersbeefier rodsbetter rod boltsblock girdle-among a couple other things.The LS won't rev as high as a GSR safely. If you cannot rev as high, you're not going to make all the power a GSR has. And for an LS/VTEC, you're deffinately going to need tuning.

yes, you're right, but if you go into NAPA and ask him for antifreeze his computer tells him that integras take dexcool.
