GSR motor differences? did search
thinking about swapping a GSR motor and tranny into my 99 EX civic. hmotorsonline only shows the 94-95 GSR motor whats the difference between the 94-95 and the 96+ GSR motors? and which one would be easier to swap into my civic? I tryed to search found nothing. anything i overlooked sorry.

i never thought the day would come where i say "search" because you will find that you won't be using the gsr harness... you will be using the harness that's in your car right now.

Well... TECHNICALLY... you should only be putting in a 99-01 GSR motor in your car for legal purposes. But. You can do any of them if you don't give a flying monkeys ***. The good thing is that wiring for the VTEC is already done. Not sure about the other wiring hassles involved with converting between OBDs since I'm about to put a 95 GSR in a 93 hatch.

i'm not one to hate or flame (most of the time) and i usually try to help. anyways, 99 civic ex right? any b-series will fit in and everything has been done before so you won't have any problems finding info and help. you'll need to start by finding a '99-'00 civic si rear t-bracket mount.

Re: (BLKCivicPorscheStyle*)
ok so what are the different years for that motor HMO offers a 94-95 GSR (obd1 not legal), a 96-97 ITR (obd?? legal?). Arent all of the GSR motors 96+ obd2? making them legal in my car? and if 96-98 motors arent legal how can i tell the difference and make sure to get the 99+ motor?

Re: (BLKCivicPorscheStyle*)
legally you're not supposed to replace an engine with an older engine. so since your car is 99, you'll need to get 99+ to stay legal. yes the 96+ are all obd2 but there's obd2a and obd2b. 99+ are obd2b so that's what you'll need to stay legal.
