ok so last week my b16 started knockin so i found a gsr block and picked it up yesterday. so im plannin on doin a poor mans type r swap today but have a few ??.
first what ecu should i run i have a 99 si ecu right now will that work
2nd what kinda numbers compression wise am i looking at
3rd am i gonna have to get it tuned or can i just throw it in the car and be able to ride on it
can anybody help me with the swap im in npn and will pay cash plus buy lunch and beer if ya want
need to get it runnin so i can go to work

 

you shouldnt have to get it tuned, if you are using all oem shit...

but if you throw a chip, or a vafc or whatever piggyback you want to use, then you will need it tuned.

PM uselesryder1 shawn, he just finished his setup, im not sure what hes using but i know he has a b16 head ona gsr block

good luck

ps. i would use a jdm GSR ecu, or a itr mapped ecu, fuck it get hondata

 

get it tuned

 

which ecu do i need

 

you need WAY more sheit for poormans type r. internals for 1. my old setup was b18c1 block and b17 head. its str8 but its no poormans type r.

 

You should also do the b16a2 pistons, that will get your numbers up, and a new intake manifold, valve springs/retainers, cams, for a good start. Depends on how much money you have to waste. Also get k series bearings while your there, obviously do the timing belt, pumps, fuel filter, ect.

 

you'll have a lower comp than a stock gsr if you don't change out pistons.
i'd run a stock itr ecu and thats the bare min.

 

boost the bitch
turn the psi up to like 50
and watch this one go BOOM

 

yo bitch hit me up and let me know what the time frame is like, i'll stop buy
by the way i've got an intake manifold for you but you just need to get this bitch running for now, just use the stock E.C.U. damnit either way it will be faster then that damn b16 you bought

 

I would def get hondata if your gonna change out the pistons, you will NEED to tune it.
