I need EVERYONE's Opinion on a GSR enine question.
Ok. i'm now going to start my GSR engine swap and possibly turbo. I have a 1994 Civic Ex and my question is.....Would it be better to buy the
Whole GSR swap
~~ then build for turbo?
or is it better for me to buy the
GSR longblock?
~~Build it for turbo?
~~Buy Ls Or Gsr Tranny?
~~Buy Strong mounts?
~~Buy strong axles?
~~And buy Hondata s200?
Take In consideration that in not putting all the money in at one time. If i choose the first way then i will buy swap and then save money for the build and turbo but if i go the other way then i will buy the longblock cash and buy piece by piece until it's done. I would love's everyone's opinion and remarks about this topic. Thanks

Re: I need EVERYONE's Opinion on a GSR enine question. (blkeg)
i bought my swap in pieces and build them as i got it. not for turbo by the way but for NA.
That saved me money, cause the bare block was $500 and a bare head was $600. i didn't need the stock internals, as i was shooting for better internals anyway.

just buy the swap....build later. it may take you forever finding all the misc parts you need.

If your car runs now then just buy your parts and begin the building process. If you buy a swap you will just be throwing money away. Unless you are getting a really good deal on the swap. Good luck. I have been building mine now for over 7 months. Soon to be force fed 27psi.

Re: I need EVERYONE's Opinion on a GSR enine question. (silverware)
Now if I was going to go w/ 84.5mm bore w/ resleeves, new pistons, rods, cams, springs, retainers, IM, and custom axles. Wouldn't I be better off w/ buying the block and building it in pieces? Or will all the other sensors make it pretty expensive?

no offense but you got ripped!
this is what i am doing
GSR shortblock (300 bucks melted piston)
AEBS T sleeves
JE 9.5:1 pistions
Pauter or Crower rods
Knife Edged crank and micropolshed
84mm bore
head
b16 head
port and polish (possibly extrude hone
)
dual valvesprings + titanium retainers
Black nitrated valves
GSR cams
STR cam gears
IMO piece it together man it is cheaper if you know where to look also get a GSR tranny LS = NO FUN ON STREET

A friend of mine has a turbo GSR and he blew his tranny and the only one he could find was a LS at the time and it just put that car on its face after 3rd gears are too long and it won't turn up as fast. thats how i figure.
