hey everyone! so since everyone loves buildup project i decided to make this thread. i found this shell in a jankyard in nyc. well actually my friend
(m r g s r) found it for me. its very clean no rust or anything. its a 97gsr with 70k on it. here are the pics ill try to update again soon
where i found it


in my backyard

i need a gsr cluster, so if you have on elet me know

unfortunatly i got a cut harness and for some reason they took the ac lines and the battery traywtf?

since im going boosted, i chose a b16. i know its a wierd choice, but my friend had it for a while and i think 270whp and 190 pounds of torque would do it for me

i have a cut harness on both sides. im gonna take both harnesses out and try to solder them togheter. if anyone has done this before let me know plz

this is it for now, props to evan(m r g s r) if it wasnt for him i would never do such a thing.

 

good luck

 

good luck with the harness, your gonna need it

 

have fun getting it running

haha, i know dude . i love your build

 

thanks man..are you attempting to repair it or replace that whole thing!?!. sucks cause the drivers side harness disconnects right under the dash right before it goes into the engine bay, i wish the pass side did that

well im gonna try to repair it, if it doesnt work then ill replace it. my problem is that my garage is full of generators and tractors and i have no romm fo rhtis car. and im sure everyone knows about ny winters do you think i would just solder them togheter and fix it since they are both obd3? im gonna try to take the harness out of the car tommorow

 

well if you solder them together there will be no connectors to dissconnect them and im not sure that all the wires from a teg harness will match a em1 harness. plus the teg is obd2a and the b16 harness is obd2b, you def got some homework ahead of you...if it were me as big of a PAIN IN THE *** it will be, i would replace the whole harness and get a engine harness for a gsr, but you might be able to fix it im not sure. that harness runs through the whole car.....

 

obd3?

i asked this like 20 times in different forums but no one answered. could i just connect the two harnesses considering one is obd2a and the other is obd2b? thanks for the info

 

update
got the mounts and the ac lines today. one little problem. the driver side mount from an integra doesnt match with the b16 plate. i guess i need a block plate form an ls or a gsr. ill post pics later tonight

 

yea dont try and solder the harness....like i said electrical problems suck, ur gonna bust ur *** trying to get it running and all the bugs worked out etc.....

oo and i have a 97 gsr ecu for u for inspection, so dont worry about the ECU for now

Word.

Replace the Harness.

 

yikes . good luck....

 

nice find

 

i hope u didnt spend very much on that...its hardly 'very clean'...from what i can see you're gonna need your front and rear bumpers repainted and it looks like theres water damage on the driver side carpet. you really just paid for a rolling chassis with black interior...

as for the battery...take the opportunity to relocate it to the trunk! better weight distribution y0

 

The first rule of project mayhem is you do not ask questions. good luck with the restore.

 

good luck man

well its clean ttle with 70k on it. i got it for 800$ idk if you can beat that. its a gsr too. as for the bumpers yea i need paint. they got fucked up in the junkyard, but its very clean.i havnt even washed it yet. the interior is full of dust and crap. winters are cold in NY

for the price it is very clean

 

i agree, good price for what you got - good luck with the build

 

good luck with that build.

 

i'd just get a new harness. Reason is that if u miss-connect one wire, you will not have a good running car and have to check them all one by one. Get a new harness, save urself some pain in the *** on the long run. Mind me asking how much u got the shell for? Nice find BTW
