This might be a very stupid question but i have searched many forums including this one about a GSi engine swap but havn't found any so i would like to ask a few questions

Is changing the B18B2 engine in the GSi to a B18C5 a good choice?
Is it exactly like installing a B18C5 into an EG?
*If not, is there a guide for installing a B18C5 engine in a GSi
Is it possible to turn a GSi into DC2 through modifcations?
(i know the chassis dimensions aren't exactly the same but they are close)

i know these questions might be repetitive and for that i'm sorry but if you could please help me, do so

thank you

Yes, if you have the extra $ for a c5 then , if you don't have the extra $, then a c1 or even ls/vtec are other good alternatives.

Is it exactly like installing a B18C5 into an EG?
Besides <U>minimal</U> diferences, in the two chassis, then yes its exactly like swaping it into an EG, infact it should be easier, it should slide right in like a hot knife through butter

*If not, is there a guide for installing a B18C5 engine in a GSi
If you searh not only HT, but other sites such as TI and/or even a google search you'll find tons of info on it, seariously its not rocket surgery

Is it possible to turn a GSi into DC2 through modifcations?
Thats a tricky question to answer. Excluding the type r, the <U>only</U> differences between a DC2 and a DC4 is the drive train, PERIOD!
A GSR is nothing more than an LS with a vtec motor. But I would have to say No, a DC4 will always be a DC4 and nothing else.


Someone correct me if im wrong,

Not exactly, the GSR has the strut bar, larger rear sway (some years), tweeters in the doors, and a few other differences here and there. Nothing that can't be replaced, just saying.

 

as they stated above it should be a fairly easy swap, and the only other thing that should be recommended with this is try switching to a gsr or type r tranny to get the better gear ratio

 

GSi?? im lost...
