Default changes after engine swap...

I am considering a full GSR swap for my civic in the near future. What changes should i be ready for the first time i autocross after the swap is finished? I am unsure of the weight differences of the D15 and the B18. I am probably gonna swap over the LCA's, sway bars, and suspension from the integra, but it will come later.

How competitive can i be in SM2 with this swap and a stock suspension setup?

Thanks for the help,

Michael

Stock suspension, Not very competitive. Put the money you were planning on spending on the swap in your suspension and run in a stock or prepared class.

if you have a civic, then I'd say you'd be in SM, not SM2.

You'll like the swap.

If your really into autoxing skip on the motor and get some suspension.

In sm class you wont have a prayer. Go full out on setting up your car and it will help make it competitive.
