Engine problems
I have a 95 GSR and last night after driving on the highway the car starts to sputter. I'm lagging power and there is no check engine light. Right now the car sounds like a WRX and is causing vibrations in the car. Anyone have an idea to what it is?

did you do a leakdown test? you can pin-point weather it's cylinder head or bottom end. If you need any gsr internals let me know mines fully built and i still have mint pistons,rods, recut valves,springs,cams,and retainers.

i want to rebuild the motor to stock performance. im not going to be ripping the car. I did a test, not sure if it was a leak test. Sprayed some stuff around the head ad header to see if there was any leak and there wasn't.

A leakdown test is where you put a cylinder at Top Dead Center (tdc) and fill the combustion chamber with compressed air. This is so you can measure how much air is leaking out and will help determine where the problem lays....hence a leakdown test.

There's plenty to do outside my room but I choose not to!

i had the same symptoms you do. i ended up replacing the motor but the cause of it was a chipped valve.
do the leak down test and find out where the air is coming from.
Intake manifold = intake valve
exhaust port or header = exhaust valve

the cheapest solution would be find a GOOD used motor for your car(prefferably one where you can have someone vouch for the motor) can usually find a used stock motor for cheap.
better then replacing stuff and finding other problems.even if you pin point the problem if your not mechanically inclined like that you will get other problems and or have to pay someone else to do it.
IMO find a stock motor swap it in and call it a day.
