I wonder the same. I won't recommed you installing the old one, but if you have no choice then get a cooper gasket sealant.. might work temporarily meanwhile you buy the new one
yeah for that price I opt go for turbo..
$1,500 for ITB alone..
+ bigger injectors
+ vaccum log
+ tps/map relocation if needed
+ filters
+ tunning
that's over $2,000.. with that I can get a Greddy turbo kit and have better results.
yup.. I'm not gonna go racing with this engine like I did with the gs-r. Its more fragile. But for daily driving, going uphill is a breeze. Anyways my gs-r block is out and next year I'll be putting it back.. totally forged.
It's a long and old debate as for what head flows better. Also this motor is not intended for high revvin' like the VTEC blocks are.. I'll keep it to 7000RPM and it's safe.
It's quiet good compared to the GS-R, and this setup should be a lot cheaper!
I think it's almost neck to neck but man, those low compression pistons are killing my performance!
If you upgrade to high compression pistons then you'll spank the GS-R and ITR motor all day long 8)
