i just got a gsr and i am wondering what kind of cams i should get
i am aming towards boost later but will want a mild setup for now
and i will be taking this to the drag races more then auto x

 

GSR cams are very good for boost. If you want a little more i would go Type R or a simple Stage one, nothing bigger unless your going hotrod.

 

what would be stage one like skunk 2 stage one or aem stage one?

very good info..skunk stage 1 will work fine

 

If its Skunk2's dont use the Pros those are to aggressive for turbo street.

 

thanks and what would be some other minor things to upgrade or replace

 

timing belt ,water pump, headgasket, arp studs for boost.gl on build

 

alright and i should have done that before putting in the swap

 

Congrats on your motor! What tranny did you get? and where did you get it? I got mine with a B16 LSD tranny at hmotors. I put it in back in august and i'm swapping it into my new hatch after it warms up. Horray for rearended civics!

Is this your first swap, or just a new motor?

well how do you guys like the gsr? i am going to do the gsr motor swap soon too

 

what mods do you have? get the basic i/h/e i'd say add on a itr mani, gsr fuel pump, chipped ecu if you haven't yet. If you have all of those mods then start thinking about head work...

 

just get some itr cams

 

running boost with stock gsr internals isnt a wise choice, due to the higher compression ratio. i would only reccomend a few pounds at the most.

 

welcome to the family of a gsr hatch. i would just stick right with the gsr cams or buy a b16 head w/ gsr cams.

dont get me started on this again.....

just dont talk.
wrong info.
do not listen to allricedout

 

coo thanks guys to all of the advice i just got back from the shop
this guy reall does good work took it in yesterday when he was closing had it done today at 630
well i ran into some problems mainly with the seller
well its a bone stock gsr and the butterflies on the intake mani are off
other than that its stock for all i know.
well we started it and the fan wasnt turning on so we rigged it up real quick to cool down
and then we found out that the thermostat wasnt working.
so now we are wondering was the motor over heated before? we dont know so i am contacting the seller.
then the computer he sold me was obd1 and i thought it was obd2 he never told me otherwise.
then as we were testing the gears the supposedly jdm tranny isnt jdm and the 5th gear doesnt go in at all and it just grinds and its from a 95 and lower gsr not a 96 like he told me well i guess i got what i payed for. so i think it alright
i took it for some test runs and it feels pretty strong to me well stronger than my y7 anyways.

well keep the mods coming i need to upgrade a good I/H/E

ps sorry about the writing format im tired and need to wake up at 4

 

tell me what the expectations of the engine were or maybe i am being to harsh

uh, stock GSR compression is only like 10:1

 

na well when i put in in 5th it just grinds like if u tried to put it in with no clutch
i dont know but take a look at the link thats where i got it from<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by theb18c1 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">tell me what the expectations of the engine were or maybe i am being to harsh

how much did you get the engine for?

 

2050

 

are there green plates on the bottom front of the block and tranny still on it?

 

not on the tranny and he gave me a 95 or lower gsr

 

i have one question is my motor supposed to kind of lag untill about 6k rpm is that when it pulls or does it pull more at lower rpms cause my vtech engages at 4800 i think is that right.
