b18c1 rebuilt or a new swap?? whats wrong?

[Robin...]

hi everyone!! what do guys think is better to do a rebuilt on a gsr swap or go ls vtec?? or something else?? i want a reliable car... My compresion is low on the third cylinder... and I'm also wandering if it even needs the rebuilt... what could the problem be... the car smokes through the exhaust...

probably just a head gasket

 

[Robin...]

I hope so... the car was turboed before... maybe the turbo caused damage...=(

 

[SGGilmo]

was it properly tuned before it was driven?

h22a swap

 

[somejaykid]

rebuilt it in my opinion why get rid of a good engine if you already got it

 

[Robin...]

was it properly tuned before it was driven?

rebuild ur gsr...its hard making a lsvtec reliable

 

[luispizarro25]

bro dont get rid of the GSR... much more reliable than the LS/VTEC... at least when you dont know much about them.... i just got one and i love it

 

[stickeyrice84]

rebuild, what your going to spend in finding a ls block u can get all of your gaskets, rings and all of that s**t, and the gsr is a much better motor than an ls for sure

Yeah i really want a reliable car because i drive a lot... Dont want it to break down...
