Alrights guys, I'm looking to turn my GSR into a Type-R, and no, I don't mean a motor swap, I'm talking removing my GSR head, swapping it with a Si head, valve stuff, shave the head slighty, and A-spec Integra Type-R Pistons (they equal the same compression ratio as Civic type-R pistons anyways). Then swapping my tranny with an Si tranny, cause type-R tranny's are hard to find where I live at. Along with the Jackson Racing Vtec controller, cause it uses your ECU to tell the Vtec to kick in early, versus the Apex one, that your ECU will adjust the A/F ratios for you. Cause I wanna go all motor, cause I like reliability, I travel back forth between Orlando and Tampa, and after seeing what my friend is going through with his LS Turbo, F/I doesn't seem too appealling. This will be happening within March, cause I wanna be ready for Hot Import Nights in Orlando. The only reason why I'm doing this is cause I heard if convert a GSR into a Type-R, versus motor swap, it'll actually have more torque and power, even though, you may have the same amount of HP. My GSR running right now with bent exhaust valves pulls type-R's anyways and it's an OBD-2 motor. and all I've done is shave the head, and put intake, and exhaust.
I just wanna know has anybody, done a conversion on a GSR to Type-R, and have they seen difference in performance, if not. I'll just fix my exhaust valves, throw in a Skunk2 Intake Mani, Skunk2 Cams, Sk2 Cam gears, and a 50 shot of nitrous.
Why do you want to swap heads? You already have a good one. I would just get ITR cams, aftermarket cam gears, VAFC, and some tuning. Fix those valves first. Get a good JDM header also.
mm..........a-spec p73 does not have the same cr as pct pistons heck , nothing does convert a gsr to a itr is alot of work and pointless imo just get a itr if you want one making a gsr faster then a itr on the other hand is pretty easy i/h/e, skunk2 cams, cam gears, intake manifold, and youll hang with any itr out there about $2000 worth of stuff course if you go fi its even easier

Check out this site... http://www.theoldone.com/articles/en...pistons_1.html
Do what they say; then Ceramic coat your stock pistons.
Get JE/SRP rings or Total seal rings.
Run Ferrea stainless exhaust valves (since they are already bent)
Deshroud your valves.
Run a NOS DPI plate kit with a 100 shot.
Get a set of used ITR cams on here or Ebay.\
If you wanna get a computer dont get a VAFC get a hondata Stage 2. It is only a little more and worth so much more in the long run. www.Hondata.com
You'll have a nice daily driver-but sick straight line car when you nurse it.
That's all for about $1000 minus the labor and computer.
There's my 1.5 cents
