Ok here's the story behind this fun week. I picked up a 1995 GSR rolling chassis a few months back with the intention of making it my brothers beater car. I paid $2500 for a clean title car sans interior and motor from a fellow h-t member~

Here she is~


No B-series Dont worry we got something special in store for you~


No interior either~ Anyone have any regular integra seats???


Picked up this bad boy for FREE!!! Yup, a 1998 Civic EX motor n tranny. We used a OBD 1 GSR harness (wired up by AEOLUS!!) and found some mounts (thanks tuan). She's drippin wet ready to be slid into the......wait........


Heres the monster goin in.....


Bolted up and ready to hunt down bitches with my R~


Old school Black GSR with SOHC. The best looking beater ever~


To top off the beater list, also picked up a 1990 B package Miata with hardtop for $2,000.


Total cost of putting the car together comes out to $3,000~

My brother is now officially a member of the Honda-Tech family! Its not an R but its unique!!

You beat me to it...I always wanted to swap a SOHC

Any trouble? How does it run? Enough power?

drag 3 turbo kit please on that sohc vtec

 

Definitely different....

 

plenty of DC chassis came with sohc's non vtecs/sohc vtecs/dohc ZC/ etc etc/ carbed motors blah blah in japan. its more then enough to get around town for the average commuter.

 

 

sah-weet! Haven't seen this swap before.

 

Now u really got yourself a "SPECIAL EDITION"

 

nice...
definately very interesting

 

Now the car will weigh about the same as a 98 Civic Ex coupe, so it should accelerate about like that. Should run ok.

Tell him that he's saving ~60lbs by using that motor over the B series DOHC VTEC

 

maybe a little more.

 

lol, good write up... funny chit.

so, prettymuch... he can claim to be hardcore JDM now, since they made sohc integras in japan

 

yeah that is fun, when I worked at a shop a couple years back, my boss was between motors and needed to get around so we swaped a 95 dx motor in to a 2000 GSR with JDM front end. It ran like crap, but it got him from point a to b.

Give him a 6o shot and let it eat, single cams are cheap.

 

I like it... original

 

booost it

 

haha funny..

 

isn't that the opposite of a sleeper? looks fast, but is very sloow

j/k - hey, at least it's different
