WhatsAClutch? 10-05-2005, 04:04 PM **** the gsr god dammit Kappa22 10-05-2005, 04:06 PM Well, you could have said that from the beginning (BTW, do you even know what a GSR is?) But in reality, the GSR is a significantly better engine and an easier swap than an H22, but it won't set you back as much as a Type R. WhatsAClutch? 10-05-2005, 05:02 PM ill look into it sacicons 10-06-2005, 12:56 AM budget in labor, timing belt, water pump, new accessory belts, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, clutch and resurfacing or replacing the flywheel too. buying the swap is one thing, getting to work everyday with a swapped car is a whole different story.

Accrdkid 10-24-2005, 02:09 PM ORIGINAL: WhatsAClutch? **** the gsr god dammit Why a GSR motor which has 170 hp with you can just get h22a with 2.2 liters and roughly 200 at the wheels. Plus the Civic is lighter. And yes its been done.
