hey guys,

JDM SiR-G and JDM Type R conversion

whats the difference??? besides the cost of it???

 

The difference between the two is that the SiR-G does not have a bumper lip, has chrome headlights while the Type R's have black housing with and without HID's, and the bumper reinforcement bar on the SiR-G does not have the bar going across connecting the mounting points for the bumper support. Also, the Honda emblems are different. I think that's all.

 

two different engines..known as the jdm gsr and jdm type r...type r has more horsepower and torque, lsd transmission with a different gearset...theres many differences...i'm sure someone will further explain them

 

sorry, i thought you were talking about the entire engine/tranny conversion

You don't need the actual bar, but you will need the two brackets to hold up the bumper support. The reinforcement bar is only used to protect your car during a slow speed accident. I would recommend it because it can save your conversion.

 

can i get thebrackets at a US honda dealer??

thanks guy for your expertise

If you're going to buy a whole conversion and not piece one together, these should come with your conversion. It will probably already be bolted on the JDM radiator support.

Now why would anyone wanna downgrade to a Mcphearson (spelling?) suspension from a double wishbone?

 

Cause DC5=$$$- i dont have- Just Loose the DC5 and get a TSX Euro S

I disagree.

 

thanks for the pic, sexy ride, you have it lowered at all? 17" rims?

but with the extra 1k i could buy all my paint supplies and repaint the car and get some "HID's" from the sponser market place for $130

 

To make it simple

SIR-G- Chrome housing lights
no bumper lip B18c (GSR motor)

Type-R- Blackhousing lights
W/bumper lip B18cR (Type r motor)

lowered on D2s
16" work meisters S1
6k HIDs from Operatic(HT sponsor) $130 jobbers


blackhousings look the best in my opinion.

If you want to use your stock hood latch, then your going to have to reroute your latch cable to inside the engine bay. Looks ghetto. Your other option is to find a 2nd gen integra hood latch and cable. This is what I'm running. It is possible to do this at home, the only issue could be the radiator support. This is going to need replacing. If you can weld then your should be fine. Do some research, there's plenty of DIY's on this here on HT.

use one from a 90-93 DA or a 92-95 civic hood latch cable



I did mine in my apartment parking lot

 

SiRG = chrome housing/no bumper lip/regular honda emblam/no support bar

type R = blackhousing/ red emblem/ support bar/type R lip/ better than SiRg :]

 

thanks for repeating what we have aleady said 3 times
