So, upon checking my oil the other day, I had noticed i was low on oil. I figured that's strange, just changing my oil about a month ago. I park my car in the garage and there were never any leaks of anything. Talked to my dad and he said the piston rings could be going bad, but the car will run a long time still. I said well I guess a should just use this as an excuse to get a swap. I see alot of people using GSR motor's and making good power with them. So I did a little research and wanted to double check some stuff here.

Is it true to do a GSR swap in a 97 civic hatch, you don't need an fabrication, just motor mounts out a civic Si? Also For axels I could use si axels as well?

Any body have any GSR swap's that they can tell me about? How hard was it to get in? Was it a big difference from the stock motor?

 

yea a gsr swap is a good swap i went from a single cam to a LS to the GSR and its like night and day they pull really hard and have a lot of options for power adders as far as intalling i dont know much but i know no fabrication is needed just mounts and im sure some tweeking of the wire harness will need to be done other than that bam bam its in and ready to run

 

rebuild your stock motor and boooost

 

^^I second that. For the cost of the GSR swap, you could build the D and boost it. IMO, that's a much better option: Vitara/Eagle and a cheap turbo setup
