there is a company called osaka motors out of canada that my bro always orders from. and i can get a type complete with tranny, ecu, harness, etc for $3500 which i feel is amazing.

or i could order just a GSR without tranny for $1450.

Now i can have either of those shipped to my brothers honda dealership for dirt cheap at dealer cost.

Well correct me if im wrong, i figure i could just do the swap without the tranny and then build up the one i have now.

i figure i could get the GSR block for $1450 and then build my tranny and be OTD for around $2000 giver or take a few.

the bottom ends are the same if im not mistaken all you really had to do was get some jdm itr pistons or rs machines pistons and rod bolts. new bearings and a itr oil pump and water pump with timing belt and you will have a better motor then a stock itr or gsr for probably a 1000 bucks take that other 450 you was gonna spend on the gsr and build the head up then later down the road add cams etc
