hi, I just blew my stock gsr because of a boost controller malfunction. It kept the wastegate spring closed the whole time. My Zeitronix wideband was in a friends car so he could tune it at the time so, I didn't have my boost gauge or egt readings. Hard 3rd and 4th gear hw pull....


to make the story short..... 2 bent rods and 1 cracked ringland.

ill post pictures later if i have time

I'm going to do an oem rebuild for now since the car might be getting sold in a year and need help double checking the check list before I start ording parts.


thx in advance


-oem gsr pistons (overbore)
-oem gsr rods
-oem oil pump
-oem water pump
-oem timing belt/tensioner set
-oem rebuild gasket set ( got one with oem parts? i know they have one for some other brand... but is it just as trustable as oem?)
-apr headstuds/rod bolts

-gonnna get oem bearings locally at acura dealer to match the nessary size
bearings

1) Also what should I do about the bolts for the mains and the crack griddle??? reuse? go oem? or are there apr's???

2) I have never ordered pistons.... do they come with rings or do I have to order them separately?

3) Anyone know where I could get a deal on these parts?

4) is it really nessary to balance everything???

5) Am I missing anything?

rings don't normally come with pistons, to get good prices, go to acuraautomotiveparts.org

aite thx a lot....


just trying to clear up all the questions I'm not 100% sure on

Reuse you the bolts for your cap and girdle, unless they are damaged in anyway. They are very expensive from the dealer, something around $8 a bolt I think.

Be sure to add a helms to that list.

Very valuable if you are rebuilding the motor yourself.
