Default b18c1(95 gsr motor) in a 95 accord 2dr??

I have found a killer deal on a 95 gs-r swap ($1400 complete)

I have 95 accord ex 2door 5spd

How hard will it be to swap this motor in my car??

Will it improve performance or is my accord too heavy?

I really want to buy it but I would like some advice from you guys

thanks, btw I tried a search and found nothing so pls do not flame me

if you think 130hp/145 ft lbs in your accord sucks your will to live....

try 150-160hp (be realistic.. its not a new engine) and about 100-105ft lbs ... ouch.

so swaping a gsr motor into my car will actually make me slower than having my normal accord EX motor....? due to my car being 600 pounds heavier than a gs-r?

doesn't the extra 25 hp make up for the loss of like 15 ft/lb of torque

Torque is what moves you

If you want torque out of your F22...boost it

if that were the case they would have never needed to design the F motors in the first place. they cold have just used a B or D motor. sorry.

no.

maybe it hasnt been broken down for you ...

without serious custom engine mounts and CV axel weirdness this swap is near impossible. You'd spend a whole lot more money to make it work (with shitty results) than if you just got a H22A or H23A1.

If you want a B series powered accord buy a 3rd gen.

I'm almost thinking of doing this to make a 'winter beater' with some pep. it would be dirt cheap to find a used up tired 3G and use a SiR1 B16A thats like 800

Go into the classifieds section and post a willing to buy (WTB) thread looking for a b18c1. This is the accord forum. GSR motors usually arent our interest as 3g accord enthusiasts are rare around here. Thanks.

1. the accord is not 600 lbs heavier than a GSR...damn people...

its at most 300 lbs, but 300 lbs is still a lot.

2. an H22 longblock costs $1300 shipped, you need that and an ECU and you'll have a much faster car.

3. a stock gsr isn't much faster than your car right now. With a few bolt on's your car should run a high 15 in the 1/4...

the gsr runs a 15.5-15.8 in stock form with a good driver.

4. not only does the motor have no torque, it will not drop into your engine bay, you would need custom mounts that just don't exist. and then i guarantee you will run a 17 second 1/4 mile with that engine in a stock weight 5th gen ex.

5. if you want to buy the motor, buy a 92 hatchback, drop it in, and run an easy low 14...and be happy.

my 95 EX coupe weighs just a smige over 3000 lbs. Seen it with my own eyes.

I was under the impression that the integras were down around 2400 lbs.

3000-2400=600

correct me if I am wrong.

thanks for all the info guys....needless to say I will not be purchasing the gsr swap..my buddy is buying it for his hatch instead

is it true that all I need is an h22 longblock?? I though I needed a whole swap?

is a longblock really only 1300 shipped? if so, then where the hell do I buy it?

thanks for having patience with my dumbass questions
