Anything i need to do before i put my 00 gsr motor into my 99 excoupe? Change plugs, wires, water pump. Anything like that or should it be fine and ready to go in when i get it. It is comeing from IAS.Thanks

 

Depending on how much mileage is on the motor, you might wanna go ahead and change out the timing belt, water pump, and oil pump.

For getting it from IAS, I can tell you, you wont be dissapointed, one of the cleanest and in tact swap I ever bought was from IAS.

 

Being that new of a motor and since it's coming from IAS, I would go as far as just changing the timing belt, cap + rotor button, PCV valve and some new plugs - basically just some minor preventative maintenance. Aside from that, I seriously doubt that you would need to change the water or oil pump.

 

yeah Randy told me they pulled it out of the car yesterday and they were doing a leakdown test then cleaning and shipping it to my house

 

hondata IM gasket - a lot easier to install with the motor out of the car

I know its not necessary but for $50 I don't see why you wouldn't want it

 

change the clutch, i made that mistake on just dropping the motor in. car ran good for 1 month then i blew the spring off the disc...haha

 

it wouldn't happen to be a 2000 gsr motor with 62k miles on it would it?

 

yeah why??

 

how did you know that was the engine i was buying??

 

lol i talked to randy about that swap...
came out of a black integra gsr...
i even ran the vin #...
how much u paid?

 

i paid 3600 for the whole swap with the mounts of the si that i needed and he is gonna wire it for me. What did the vin look like if you dont mind me askin.

 

whats IAS?

 

Import Auto Salvage

 

hey did u get it yet?

 

yeah man it is clean as hell and i got everything i need and more.

 

congrats...i'm getting mine today...
