Do you guys think it is a big downgrade if i went from a gsr swap to a b20 swap?

Well, i have a 98 ls with a gsr swap and the previous owner who did the swap did a bad job. MY driver mount recently broke off and the screws got stuck inside the block. MY engine is now a little titled down. MY engine has oil marks on the vale cover, so its burning oil. I can hear the vtec but i do not feel the "kick" as most do. Once i hit around 5k rpm i can hear a different sound from the exhust, but my mph still stays consistant. I just recently bought the car for 1 month something and all these things are happening to the car. The cost to get the broken thread that is stuck inside the mount will cost around 1k to get it fixed so my mechanic reconmmended me to swap in a b20.

DO you guys think this is a big downgrade?

 

no nope worth the money for that itty bit of more power. at least make it worth it with a jdm b18c5 or h22 or k20 if you got the money

 

b20 is weaker than a gsr. And no i do not have 4-5gs for a type R or type S

 

anyone?

That seems kinda crazy just to drill out some bolts, and use some bolt remover.

They have kits that you can get pretty much anywhere to spin the bolts out,
Once you drill it out enough just stick one in, and twist.

If they just broke, and still have a lot left in the hole, they might not even need to be rethreaded either.


The Only reason I could see it being 1k to do this, is if they need to pull the engine,
I'm sure you could find another way to do it without pulling it though.

 

where do you live? Some places wont let you put a SUV motor in your car. Whats wrong with putting in a stock b18b?

 

GA, they do not have restriction here. The only restriction i know of in the United States is California. b20 is better than b18b right?

Yea the engine has to be pulled out in order to drill the bolt out. MY mechanic quote that he can do it for 500, but if he does not succeed, he will charge me 500 as well.

 

Go to a couple other garages and get there quotes as well. The GSR is a keeper.
