Need help
 

I just got a 93 gs 5 speed, this is my first build i wanna put a gsr head on i know i can use my stock tranny, but what do i have to do as i far as wiering and computer any help???? Thanks in advance! I GOT ALOT OF HELP WITH MY IDEAS THANKS FOR EVERY ONE WHO HAS REPLIED!!!! TURBO IS THE WAY TO GO, ILL HAVE PIKS UP SOON THE CARS IN MY SHOP AND IM DOING SOME BOADYWORK KEEPIN HER CLEAN!!!

Will if you have a B18A in your, and you want the GS-R head on it. Your going to need to buy a GS-R/Type R head gasket, GR-S/Type R timing belt, as well as a GS-R/Type R water pump. As for the ECU, your going to need to get a GS-R ECU, and then add a wire from the ECU to the Vtec solenoid, and then also have to tap into the block and head and run a oil feed like to the head so oil gets onto the cams, and so it has proper oil pressure to let the vtec turn on.

I for one would not do it, as it's not worth it really. You looking at around $2000 for everything, and you can get a turbo kit for less then the head and all the parts, but you would be spending a little on labor, but you can run 10 PSI all day and spank any stock ls/vtec out there. you'll be making more HP and TQ from just bolting on a turbo kit.

thanks alot dude i did some diging and came to the same conclution! gonna do it all my self!

the ecu from gsr will work but will not work perfect. you need to get a proper tune since there is no such motor as ls-vtec for which you'd have ecu.
for time being you can run the gsr ecu but to get the full potential out of ls-v you will need to get the car tuned.

yea a gsr ecu will ---- on your ls/vtec. its not a the same displacement, even tho there both called a 1.8, like scrid3r said its not a gsr to begin with too. no ls/vtec should be ran with a stock ecu. you can get basemaped ecus for an ls/vtec easily and there decent, but again, everything varies cus they're "custom" engine setups, so relying on a ecu for another motor is not a good idea.

and second, theres no point to put a gsr head on it anyway, if your keeping the block stock. it will have low compression still, around 9.6 i believe?? and also assuming everything else is stock, you may gain like 15hp. not worth it at all. if you doing a solid build, then go for it, but other wise, dont.
