Default Doing a GSR swap

I have a 97 Honda Civic DX and in two days im ordering the GSR complete change over off hmotorsonline.com. I just wanted to know if anyone has ever ordered from these guys and if they are a good site to order from? If anyone has anything to comment about them it would be great to hear from you. I am also getting a Skunk2 N1 catback and Weapon R intake. I just wanted to know how much torque and hp I should be expecting out of this setup? By the way I am getting the USDM spec engine so the initial tq is 121 and the hp is 170. I know it won't be much of a gain but what should i be expecting and will my car be decently quick?

Thanks

i cant give exact numbers, but 1st of all you will notice a pretty big gain over your stock dx engine..thats a given. the exhaust/intake will only add a few ponies so dont expect much. decently quick? depends, but imo yes it will be decently quick..the gsr has a nice platform for building on as well.

Nice nice. Yeah I'm real stoked I can't wait to throw this engine in. My intent for this car is to eventually turbocharge it and make my car a big time sleeper.

hmotorsonline.com great choice me and my buddies only get our motors from there . i actually got a gsr from there works great and love it the only thing me and my buddies agree on is new axles since the axles u get are used it is well worth the 100 for each side to get the new axles and autozone has a lifetime replacement that i have used once so i totally recommend it.. good

remember a good tune up is good to plugs wires and rotor and cap...good luck with the swap

did u get the lsd tranny??

Don't mean to be a dolt, but what makes the Lim-Slip tranny so good. I just don't know the workings of it....

as i am looking into the same thing right now.. LSD basically balances the power going to the wheels.. prevents one tire from spinning while the other tries to grip..
