i have about 145K on my ls engine and iam willing to buy a gsr engine how much would it cause me for the engine and where can i find them? do i need to change any other part when i switch to the Gsr?

 

Search search search...

Make sure you do all your research, have you considered rebuilding and boosting your LS?

 

ls vtec

 

I was going to suggest that also, but for the money it would cost, he could have a nicely boosted LS.

Trust me

 

with the general questions that you are asking I suggest you do your homework before attempting this task.

Heres a big list for you to read on....

good luck

 

 

This is how it's going to roll.

A) Your going to spend 3.5-4.5k on a GOOD GSR swap.
B)Rebuild your LS and boost using that same amount and getting more power then your GSR would.
C)LS/VTEC - Cheapest route to go and more power then LS but alittle less then GSR.
D)Finding a new LS for 1200 on HMO or finding one for sale on HT.

Take your choice.

That all depends on how you do it. If you do make it the cheapest route, its also going to be the most unreliable route.. Ls/Vtec is a fickle swap, if not done right and built by someone who knows what there doing, and finely tuned, it wont be as reliable as it can be.. If you do it right, you can make much more power then a GSR..

my ls/vtec is putting down 186whp, 141trq I can rev it to 8200 all day without worrying about a thing.

Is that with a stock block and stock b16 head?

 

no sir, its a 2000GSR head.
and je pistons rods and bearings.

Then that would explain the numbers. A simple LS/VTEC won't make that much power without the internals you have. Basically you were saying that if you BUILD the motor while doing the swap (along with the work being performed right) you can make more power than a GSR.

 

Yes, in a sense, but in my personal opinion, in order to build an ls/vtec correctly, you have to raise the compression, which is making it a built motor.

 

just get some pistons and rods, then boost the ls.

 

ugh lsvtec will make more power than a gsr with a b16 head on it

 

Boost It.

Just make sure its tuned good.

I have a built LS/Vtec, and im saying boost.....

so what do you think you should do??

dont get me wrong, i love my motor, but for what i spent.... i could a had a wicked fast boosted motor

 

quick question, if i got, say like a b16a swap jdm could i bar sticker it to pass smog??
