i know this has probably been discussed like 10 billion and five times but what are the things that i will need to get in order to do a gsr swap into a 91 hatch.

also what do u guys personally think about the gsr for this car. i have had people tell me the b16 but to me this is way over rated and over done. everyone has doen one. i cant really afford a type r and i think that the h22 would be too heavy for a track and strip application. i would actually rather have more corner speed and handling than straight line speed.

also further down the road how much room is left for a turbo setup. i know that the b18 takes considerably more room than the d16 that it has in it now.

basically i am looking for tons of pros and cons and basically whatever input that someone has about this motor the swap in general and what they think are the limits of the motor from a technical standpoint.

TIA

 

http://www.hasport.com will help with some of your info.

if i were you, i'd just pimp that blue 63 impala.. hehhehee.

 

yea i wanted to pimp the 63. i was actually plannin on buyin that when i came to cali but after i saw it and saw how it ran i cried on the trip home. from the front it looks great. from every other view it is saddening

anyone else with some input.

i am basically looking for people's experiences. i usually do my own thing but i have no knowledge on this subject so i would like a little direction.

 

Well you need b series mounts,b16a or b18a cable tranny,you need a 94-95 gsr ecu and I think you have to convert to 0bd1 too.There is a couple of things.

 

Need to GET A ECU Harness Conversion also the Engine Harness Conversion.

Need L Bracket. Need a Cable tranny Need a good One GSR 92-93 YS1 or JDM YS1.

you have a long way to go.. plan out everything.. like I did then do the swap..

 

Kinda OT but you might want to change that avatar. Someone could cause a BIG fuss over that.

 

don't listen to anything anybody just said you could just buy a complete GSR engine swap that has everything you need for the conversion for 88-91 Civic/CRX plus extras!!!! ummm yeah i know a guy who is selling one for a great price...he also lives in so cal so if you or anybody is interested just pm me and i could get you his number and email address...really he is a great guy...awesome engine...and professional...

sorry but i like to jack posts and slang my items.

 

Well it's not that easy you can't put a hydro tranny into a cable tranny car only if you want to go with the trouble of converting cable to hydro.Only if you can find a 92-93 1.7 gsr motor but good luck.You need to do things to make a 94 and up gsr swap work.Do research that a good starting point.

 

Stick with the 1.8 tons better than a 1.6 trust me. auto x is 10 folds with torque over guttless b16's.. on a side note .. just find any b16 tranny and you will be good to go. just my .02

 

wouldn't this look good under your hood?
