OBD2 GSR, with Skunk2 intake manifold, Type R cams (e/i), JDM 4-1 header with 2.5" collector, high flow cat, 2.5" exhaust mid pipe all the way back, and an AEM CAI.

Probably a chipped ECU as well, my question is, will this get anywhere near 160 whp?

I am torn between a GSR motor and an ITR. Reason i want the GSR is, cheaper to begin with, and i can work on it as money permits, rather than dump a shitload into just buying an ITR motor...which route would you take and would a GSR with those mods or close to it make anywhere near as close to what an ITR motor would make with just intake/exhaust?

Also, would a b16 tranny make much more of a diff with the GSR motor, rather than the GSR tranny itself?

 

Bump for that last question... I'd like to know as well!?!?

 

id say about 165 untuned to the wheels.


i hate bench racing.

 

Go with a B16 tranny

no thats low for those mods, if your gsr still has good compression, you can expect to see a good 175-180hp at wheels and about 125-128 in torque. add some adj cam gears on there as well when putting in the ITR cams, if oyu need some just PM me, I have skunk2 gears and some no brand 6 bolt gears.

About 6 yrs ago my old GSR made 170+hp at wheels with cusco cam gears, iceman intake, ITR intake side camshaft and dc sports 4-2-1 header with an unorthodox crank pulley. Now a lot more better combinations are available, no reason why a stock GSR won;t top 180hp @ wheels with simple bolt-on mods, providing motor is still in good shape.

dont waste money on the skunk 2 intake manifold.... power isnt that great over a stock gsr

 

I've seen 8whp across the board top end on a semi-mild GSR. Car was dyno tested first w/...

1995 GSR coupe
AEM CAI
DC JDM 4-1 (open)
CTR N1 crank pulley
CTR cams
AEM cam gears
PR3 pistons, O/S
AEM fpr
VAFC

173/124

Portmatched stock throttlebody to Skunk2 manifold, removed FPR/VAFC & added Hondata P28 s200.

181/124

There was no gain in TQ, however there was an 8whp gain in the top end of the graph. The previous set-up was tuned to a perfectly flat A/F curve of 12.6-12.8.

Personally I don't believe he gained it from switching to a Hondata, although it was a nice benefit to have when changing manifolds on the GSR.
