    Default GTI-R in a Civic?

    Has anyone seen the Nissan Pulsar GTI-R engine fit into a Civic? I've seen it fit into a 200sx and by guessing I would say that yes it can fit, but I need proof before I purchase an engine.

    lololol. exactly what i was thinking earlier but i didnt want to be mean. for the money it would take to do that swap you could have a nice gsr swap with many extras

    I know what motor is in it, don't tell me what I need to learn. Does your friend go by the name of Matt? I've been in his before, fast as hell. I'm sure the custom fabrication wouldn't be too hard or expensive and that engine I believe puts out maybe 230 hp? Knock the socks off a GSR swap..

    Engine itself is only about 2 grand..

    Yea, I remember when he had his old engine in it and even then he had tons of money invested. I can't seem to get in contact with him, he's not on myspace or on here. Hmm?

    That 200sx was slow. He was claiming 300 something when I busted his ass on the highway in my 240 when it had the t25.


    i rarely belive any power numbers it puts out even its on that posterboard he brings around to shows. lol


    And yeah don't put that shit in your Honda. It will never run again.

    The t25 was nothing in that car. After that I believe he put a t4 in it and damn did that knock your socks off. I remember it being quick as hell off the line, but now with the new sr20 in it he can pull away from just about anything on the highway. I wouldn't mind doing the swap into a 200sx, but the car itself feels cheap.

    Hey buddy. Stock they came with gti-r t28's. I raced him with the jgy customs turbo. Slow.


    And admin, dont be that guy. I'm not saying be like everybody else. Do whatever. Buy a sentra and swap it. But how much do you or this guy know about the motor chassis and fabrication neccessary to make it work?

    I had an avanier motor in my g20, a type x in my 240, been around the motors for years. They are a different beast than a normal sr swap even in a b/p chassis.

    I raced him in my 240 with a t25 on the highway with his jgy turbo. 3 cars I pulled.

    Sebastion hoff: I know the pulsar turbo is nice for stock but it wasn't shit on that car.

    He would remember my old car.

    for the custom fab work to get it all in the car and working you could just do a boosted B-series and make a lot more power with less hassle.

    engine swaps like that just don't work well unless you plan on making your own everything and it's solely a race car. you'd likely need to run a full set of aftermarket gauges due to the nissan ECU/sensors not working with the honda stuff, of course the custom work to get the engine even in the car (plenty of relocation and cutting/welding/fabrication), i'm sure custom axles, custom exhaust, a whole lot of time with wiring diagrams trying to make various functions work, etc. when you're done you have a stock ass motor in the car with no extras.

    of course it'll go in the 200sx, it's the same engine platform as the pulsar so it's a bolt-in affair on that car.

    the t-28 on the gtir is good for about 300whp on a standard s13 redtop, it is a great dirty mother of a turbo and i've been trying to find one for 6 months.

    sr20s are stupid motors.

    They don't make much power at all.

    And anyone who would swap an sr20det into a sentra is just wasting their money...

    ^? well I've already realized its not worth the hassle, oh well. I think I'd rather drive a prelude or an integra than drive a 200sx with a swapped sr20det in it. Although the power is less, the quality is much better..

    ^^^key point of this entire thread is for the money you would drop into a swap such as that, you can have a proven swap with reliability and cost alot less

    Yea, build.

    That is the key word.

    gti-r you'd just need a boost controller and a tune and maybe upgrade some fuel and maf.

    *edit cause half baked beat me to it*

    all the stock gtir stuff is good for 300whp, even the gay nissan mafs. the sr stuff doesnt break at 300whp, the sr stuff doesnt break at 500whp. i dont know about the fwd trans (cause fwd is the suck) but i've seen stock sr blocks take 550whp and 22 psi.

    Why do you have to buy custom axles if you break things?

    Why not just replace what you broke...

    While ya, you'd need custom axles for the swap, chances are if you are getting custom axles you won't get cheap ass axles.

    I mean hell people put ls1s in cars that have import motors...

    I'd like to see a civic with a gtir motor.

    Actually, I'd just like to see this guy buy a gtir try to do the swap then realize he can't and sell me the motor cheap.

    I made 300whp on my avenir motor...similar to gti-r but with smaller turbo, smaller injectors stock, and I don't have ITBs.

    sr20det- 1700
    660cc injectors- 300
    e-manage- 400
    z32 maf- 120
    nismo fpr-110
    fmic and pipng- 75
    greddy profec b-300ish
    tune- 300
    clutch- 300

    There, $3600 and I was making 300whp and that was on my t25. You can make that on a t28 that the gti-r comes with as well.

    According to jarco's website, their b16s and b18s can cost as much as $3600...

    Hmmmm.

    Hmmmm.

    hmmm....hmotorsonline has way better pricing IMO and how much is the custom shit you have to fab up to get it in the civic and the wiring shit?? you are also not taking into considerationlabor which is defintely going to be needed here plus more tuning than 300
