Default Project Auto GS-R

Well, i have to sell my delsol in order to get my sister a car she can drive....automatic. Looks like its going to be a 94 teg LS auto.
Well, i need vtec...so: Could a GSR long block be swapped in. I was thinking just bolt the LS flexplate to the gsr block and then bolt on the tranny. Wire vtec utilizing an RPM switch or a VAFC. Then, possibly chip the ECU to shift higher and maybe even run vtec. This sound possible and within reason? Jesus time without vtec sucks.

Quick thought: How about not undersestimating your sister and teaching her how to drive stick?

After all, that would make her a better driver.

She chose not to, i taught her when she was 13. Also, the delsol has a ACT XT pp w/ 6 puck unsprung disk (aka, as stiff as a cobra clutch in a mustang) Shed need both feet to get the pedal down so i couldnt even give her my car. Also, i think learning on an automatic is a good expiernce for new drivers because it eliminates a major varaible. That being said, ill never personally own an automatic again.

unfortunatly, until i pay off this yellow shitbox next to my delsol, it sits in my garage so sharing a car with sis is the only practical option.

The delsol is mine....totatly.
The s2000 is a lil more then half mine, im still paying it off, bank loan. But it gets driven rarely since i wanna keep it mint.
Selling the delsol to get my sis a car.......the price of having your mom co-sign a loan for you. Its just how it worked out.

if i was you, i'd save my money and work on paying off the s2k... you don't want to be in the same situation you're in now a few years down the line with your mint condition s2k that's nearly paid off. You don't wanna end up thinking, why did i insist on automatic vtec powa y0?

You might want to reconsider an auto gsr. Automatics and small high revving 4 cylinders dont match very well. For example, my second car was a automatic Celica GT-S. With a 6-speed and an intake and exhaust high 14's are commen. My best time was a 16.6 with the same mods. Automatic GT's only run a few tenths slower. If you want it to be automatic I would just stick with an ls motor.

Well, im always doing swaps on the side so a GSR longblock is very easy to come across for cheap. I dunno, this might just be a pipe dream. Well see i guess

I love girl racer ...but hey, if you are going to give it to your sister, why don't you get the ls longblock (cheaper). Why waste a good gsr motor when it is for your sister and she is just learning how to drive .
