Opinion wanted...about to drop some $ on GSR Swap
I'm real indecisive so help me out here...I've found a really nice GSR Swap (everything included and then some) The motor is fairly new (newer than 1997) and has less than 30K on it...I can get this for $3000
Should I buy it ? |
Re: Opinion wanted...about to drop some $ on GSR Swap (Prod)
As long as it is in good condition and you trust the seller I would buy it. That is a really good price for a newer gsr motor.http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emsmile.gif

That is an excelent (almost extraordinary) price for a full swap. If everything is legit than go for it. If it feels shady have the person selling it provide the VIN #'s and have them checked. If the seller won't or cant do that, walk away from it. You don't want the hassle of a hot motor.

not to sound pesimistic or anything but I got my gsr motor which was a 97 with like 50k miles for $3500 complete swap and even that is a good deal.I would just be real cautious read topic post forhttp://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emsad.gifGSR v-tec nightmare)on page 1 of this board.this is the crap that has happened to me with my swap and probally cost me another $1000.I just encourage you like everyone else to be very cautious make sure you really trust the buyer

Deomonte, I've been following your post...I think you'll get that worked out man. You guys seem to be on the right track. I'm trying to be as cautious as possible, this seller is a reputable place who actually holds alot of respect on this board, so I'm not too worried about it being hot or completely trashed.

Well then in that case I would say jump on that price.Because I searched all over the country(New York,San Diego etc.)before I finally found someone that had one for sale.So not to mention its a semi tough motor to even find but the average price I found was between $3300-$3800.So good luck and let me know how it turns out for you.

run a compression check first. 3K for a GSR swap is really good. I'm just one who's always suspicious.. so run a check on everything first. If its clean.. get it!!

Re: Opinion wanted...about to drop some $ on GSR Swap (CRX_VTEC)
I'll do a compression check when I get it...it's not local
They have some warranty with the motor and anyways it's getting sent out to GE and it's getting new internals so I guess it don't matter what the compression check says ;P |
Re: Opinion wanted...about to drop some $ on GSR Swap (Prod)
i hate to be the biased one and that is a very good deal so dont get me wrong but you could build an ls vtec for cheaper and probably be more pleased i know i did

I decided not to go LS/VTEC b/c I'll be running serious boost on this motor |

Re: Opinion wanted...about to drop some $ on GSR Swap (Prod)
as long as you have a leak down test done on it, and the seller is a compitent one, i would. 3k is a good price http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emthup.gif
