Icon2 Frankenstein Swap into CRX info

Hi,

I recently purchased a frankenstein (B20Z + GSR) that comes mated to a non LSD YS1. I have two questions:
Will I have any fitment issues with the intake manifold being to close to the firewall.?
What component of the tranny I need to purchase to make it a factory spec LSD?

Thaks for your help in advance..

I am not sure about fitment, but you would need the differential part of the trans to make it an lsd...(Limited slip Differential) kindof self explanitory. Good luck with it, hopefully I am reading it wrong about your combo and you have some other crazy thing goin on there.

My apologies, I was thinking of the wrong b20. It is a long day here at the dealership...

You might EFs seem to have shifted in age sometimes they fit GSR manis sometimes they dont.
