Guys! I tried putting this under "performance" thread but it wouldn't let me, so this is only place i can think of.
Please help...thank u

Ok guys, here's a quick summary.

I bought this Skunk2 IM from a guy 2 1/2 hours away from me. He said he took it off a "GSR" engine.
I saw it, and it seemed similar to mine (i have a JG/EDel IM and my OEM one).
The ports seemed the same...blah blah blah.

Well the following morning (after a 2 1/2 trip back and a 100+ speeding ticket!), i tried to install it and the upper part of the bolt pattern was differnt from mine!

Here's the situation. My 97 GSR has a 4 row across bottom and upper part for the cylinder head (where the IM connects to).
Now, this IM i got didn't match because it has a 3-bolt "zig-zag" design above. However, the bottom is still 4 in a row.


Than there was a lil meet with a few friends, and out of curiosity i checked one of their engines out (an LS). And the pattern seemed exactly the same.

I called this guy back up tonight and he said that it DID come out a GSR engine.
He explained that he had a 93 GSR!!!
I told him that i asked him prior that i had a 97 gsr and if it would fit? He said yes.
But now he said he would've never known.

So here's my dilemma. I went to skunk2's site and they have in fact a skunk2 IM for a B16A-B, B17A, B18c5 (Type R)....Which would be his engine...

Can anyone help. I want to sell this to someone else, but i don't want to give them a false statement of what car it belongs to. Please help.

 

the 93 gsr head is different. Its similar to the b16a, itr, LS bolt pattern wise. So with that said, this skunk2 IM will not fit your 94-01 GSR.

 

Damn that sucks, you should of bought a i/m gasket and brought it with you to see if it lines up with the manifold he sold you.

 

Damn i doesnt fit. Now send it to me.

 

Now on the 4 sale thread:
