wsup everybody, i just picked up a 97 GSR motor complete and dropped it into my 90 DA.

had an automatic bfore, and traded it with a gurl who had a 5spd!
(same car, color and RS model)

but i wanted to keep my:
interior
suspension
jdm headlights
speakers/deck
rims

learned how to drive stick and thought my gf how to too..
once it hit 200k i saved up enough money and did this swap.

Never felt vtec bfore and it fukin feels good!

i dont mind showing my licence plate bcuz its Alarmed, Garge kept with a dogg sleeping there

the top end sounds a little loud right at the end of the vid? am i wrong?

sick car tho

 

I dig it. I'm all about Red RS DA's (since I own one )

I kinda like the bezels around the gauges. Did it come like that when you bought it? or did you do it?

 

i bought it like dat, didnt like it at first but it than reminded me of being in my moms Mercedes.

 

LS ecu FTL

i thought the same thing

 

im using an obd0 Pr3 vtec ecu. do i need it chipped to hit higher?

 

yeah unless u like only revvin a gsr to 7 haha just get a stock p72

 

i'll convert everything to obd1 when i have the time and money again.

for now i just cant wait to drive my DA

 

yeah man, i think you got screwed on the ecu, because a pr3 vtec ecu will not have a rev limiter set at 7200

im pretty sure whoever sold it to you got the better of you by selling you a "pr3" ecu when it was really an ls ecu, hope u didnt pay too much

 

hah? vtec does kick in tho.

also i remember i didnt have vtec wired up and it was throwing me a code 21 (vtec something..) and once i wired vtec in, the code stop blinking and the check engine light came off.

 

yeah cant be an ls. once u got around the vtec engagement the ls ecu would go "wait wut the [freak] do i do now?" and it would go into safe mode

 

hah..thx for the heads up guys. ima go head and buy a real pr3 ecu. and test it out bfore i buy it.

what would be the rev limit on the Pr3?

 

Yeah with a redline of 7k your car is going to be pretty slow, everytime you redline its gonna throw you down out of Lift and your cars not gonna be near as fast as it should be.

 

i see, i usually shift after i hit vtec. but im defintly gonna get this checked out, just glad its not something big, just 4 bolts and 3 clips to the ecu.

 

GET A DIFFRENT ECU FOR SURE....

 

why do you insist that you need a pr3? You dont like the p72 ecu? you could just buy a jumper harness

 

tryin to keep it obd0 for now, i will convert everything to obd1 sometimes next year.

I'm not sleeping in any DA. LOL

Your current ecu will not operate the IAB on the GSR engine.

 

you shift right after you hit lift? why? that defeats the purpose of such a wide lift area.

i bet you feel the pain that Celica GTS owners feel lol.

Just go to a shop, have them "chip" your ECU to that of a P72. While you're there get launch control

 

thx for the tip.

ill go ahead and take it to the shop, when i get some extra dough. (damn gas prices)
and ill be keeping u guys posted

 

Hey, i can rev past 7k when im moving, just did it on the free way..

 

That is a thing of beauty. I'm thinking of doing the same swap myself... except I have to convert to manual, which is gonna suck hardcore. I know a lot of people are gonna tell me just get another DA, but with the money I'll spend on another car, I'd be able to do the swap and conversion. I just might sell my rims though.

 

it might be a auto ecu then thats what it sounds like a auto wont let u go to high in rpms just revving will it?

 

Let me get those blades!
