I was wondering one day. If my ls/vtec blows up, what am im going to do? So i thought about swaping a gsr engine into my ls. how much would it cost to swap the GSR engine to my ls?

 

GSR range from $3000+ check the classified.....

you have LS/VTEC and ask how much GSR engine is? doesnt make any sense...

 

here's some you can choose from

I was thinkin of getting another B18C1 b/c mine has 176k....but after i saw the price, Ha....NEVERMIND!!!

 

$3k for full swap. Install is negotiable.

 

if your from cali check our craigslist.org

 

$3000 still?? well i was thinking it would cost a lil bet cheaper since you're swaping it on to the same type of car.....gues not

 

3k is full swap.... long block is usually 1500-2000, short block should be around 1000-1200

 

soo lets say..u have an LS n u want to change the ls motor to a Gsr motor. what would u need? and how much would it cost?

 

I think you need just about everything a gsr has. head, block, tranny, wires, and more

 

difference between long and short block. What is missing from the short

Short block is just the block, no head.

 

i thought you had an lsvtec engine??

 

Uhhhh Ohhhh Spaghettios!

Looks like someone could be telling a story! How much does a GSR cost when I have an LS/Vtec that might blow up, yet I'm asking how to make an LS into a GSR?

Well regardless, we're not here to criticize so I guess I'll help you buy saying:

If your wanting the power of a GSR, go ls/vtec. However, I personally (others will try to disagree, pm me to debate) wouldn't go with a GSR head. I'd go with a . . . . GASP!. . b16 head. 1st gen or second, preferabblyl second. I say b16 simply because (1) its a great head and with that set up, done correctly, you could make more power than a GSR makes base lineand (2) they're easier to find and cheaper than a c1 head.

Now before newbies start flaming me saying "Unnt Uhhh, da GSR is rated @ 170 somethin hp and the b16 is 160hp", . . . please know that the motor's horse power rating is not directly related to the amount of horse power you can create with the head. Especially when its attached to a 1.8 with more torque.

 

well im looking for a ls engine wit very very low miles on it with 5 speed .... do u know how much that goes for ?

 

I haven't checked prices lately, but I'm guessing between 1500-1800 for the swap.

check these sites:

so if you have a high mileage LS, all you would have to do is buy a LS long block to change the motor right? not a complete swap?

 

a gsr engine will cost u about 3g now. go type r for 5g

 

I just recently went out and checked the same thing at Advance Auto just for the hell of it and it costs 2,300 for an Ls non-vtec(b18a1) and 2,400 for an g2 GsrVtec (b17) and 2,500 for an g3 GSR Vtec(b18c1)..

 

yea i agree......it does sound like a story. i wouldnt be surprise if ppl say stuff. LONG STORY. lets just say its a pass me down 4rm my older bro and i want gsr. i dont wanna get into a REAL story. its personal stuff

 

Honestly you wouldn't need a complete swap. A longblock, intake manifold, and ECU would pretty much take care of it if you're comfortable running a few wires yourself, so you can probably save yourself about $1000 off the cost of a complete swap and use the remaining money to invest in other things.

 

But then your stuck with the crappy LS tranny that wouldnt be able to take advantage of the power

I'd go with b16 head too, just because it's cheaper..
