Yo guys what do you think. I am going to have a GSR motor put in my teg but I am a little worried that the auto-to-manual swap is going to royally screw my car up. (I have a 96 SE ls auto) Have you heard any stories about the auto-to-manual swap? good or bad let me know

i cant see how it would screw your car up...just make sure you get all the parts and it should come out fine.

 

it shouldn't screw anything up. Just make sure you get a competent person to do it. Also, the only auto GS-R ECU is from Japan. So do a manual swap. Good luck.

I have an auto in it now the motor is coming with all of the parts. I have to get the manual stuff like the linkage ect.. but I am getting the GSR motor plus having it installed for 1500

 

yeah i dont think it's possible to hook up your auto tranny to the b18c1. unless you wanna go to japan and get the sir-g auto

Having a auto GSR sucks

 

I'm pretty sure you can put the LS auto tranny on there, but the real problem lies in getting an ECU thats auto, but still controls the DOHC VTEC and dual stage intake manifold.

 

I did an auto to maual swap on my civic and it worked fine, only thing is we never got the reverse lights to work, but I heard you can get them to work

 

yeah I am not going to put an auto on a GSR that would be blasphmy...I have a 96 SE that has a ls auto on it now I am going get a GSR manual put into it. So you don't think my reverse lights will work? I'll have to talk to the guys about that... The guys that are doing the work I don't know real well but (I have a back up just in case there is something wrong) they are giving me such a good deal to have all of it done that I can't pass it up.

Same with me. Swapped a B16 into my DA but the reverse lights dont work. I saw a writeup on the lights so I'll find it and post it.

 

sweet thanks...I'll wait to see that before I ask anymore dumb questions

 

bump...sorry guys this is important to me

 

it'll be fine if you do it right. the only thing i can think of is modifying a tranny mount(welding). if you can make sure that's quality, then you don't have to worry about anything else.

 

well do you think that Hasport makes mounts they have mounts for just about everything...if not I know a guy that does crazy fabrications

Better off selling your car and getting a gsr.

sweet thanks Synsei...dude if went to get a GSR I'd lose too much money I put a lot in to my teg. Plus I am getting it all taken care of for 1500 that is engine, trans + swap. Even if the guys totally **** it up I can get it fixed for 2000 at the absolute most which is still less then getting a GSR.

 

i really dont see why there would be any problem aslong as u did it right.. or who ever is doing it does it right..

 

yeah I hope that this will work out the last time I tried to get it done I got screwed by the shop I had lined up
