f**k a LS swap

[EF Honda EF]

im just gonna say that we got it for about a quarter of the going price of the whole swap. GSR trans included and a DC sports header,uncut wiring harness....cause we unplugged it...lol. and a P72 ECU

a quarter of the price! more like an 8th of the price. Complete gsr swaps are 3000. give or take some.

it can actually be bolted in now, but i want to replace the oil pan, and some gaskets, and check the clutch.

there fixed that for ya...lol

 

[BlackHopeDC5]

that thing is clean... compression test that b***h and lets get started

 

[Steven.]

yeah, i think im change teh HG first, but im, goign to bolt it in the car, so i can do the wire tuck, and anythign else.

going to get a AEBS manifold, and a head gasket kit this week, goign to check the clutch today, if it looks good, its staying.

so needed list:
Oil Pan(might get moroso)
Dissy(ebay)
Axles(ebay)
Head gasket kit
AEBS manifold

 

[BlackHopeDC5]

you should boost it

 

[Steven.]

i think ill do ITBS on it before boost, i have 44mm ITBS on the way anyway

my CRX will be boosted

wire tuck, eh? haha....good idea, man. First a B-Series, then a DOHC VTEC, now a wire tuck?!?!?!

I had the AEBS manifold and liked it a lot. IMO, its quality is superior to Skunk2...and the cost is less

 

[Steven.]

so maybe by next week ill have the engine in the car, then ill change the HG when its in the car.

still need a dash

 

[kyle10182]

that head looks clean.

 

[slowcivic E G]

it looks brand new. thats insane, you are lucky.

 

[Steven.]

eh

Dissy- 210psi-80-80-210- T belt

compression test results, dropped some oil in the 2 centers
Dissy- 210psi-100-90-210- T belt

so when i pull the head off, ill be checking that out a little more

so guesses?

HG? rings? valves?

either way, dosent look to bad, nothing i cant fix i hope

btw, compression test on the garage floor= ghetto, but fun, batterypack and remote switch ftw

 

[kyle10182]

just like i said in the PMs...rings.

 

[Steven.]

thats a easy job, only take a couple hrs for me and my bro

 

[kyle10182]

although, if your going to pull the pistons out to do rings, you really may as well buy some JDM CTR pistons and get some 12.0:1 compression.

 

[kyle10182]

or at LEAST some JDM ITR, or USDM ITR....somethin higher than the silly USDM GSR compression...

 

[Steven.]

or at LEAST some JDM ITR, or USDM ITR....somethin higher than the silly USDM GSR compression...

then i have to have the rods pressed out and s**t. ill just get a thinner HG

 

[kyle10182]

rrrright.

 

[Steven.]

ill think about it


about $300 for pistons and rings
thats for US ITR

edit: s**t same price for JDM ITR pistons.


btw, clutch looks brand new "velco" pressure plate
