96 b18c5 into a 99 gsr

[hunter1989]

im putting a 96 b18c5 into my 99 gsr and i really dont know much about the wiring harnesses and i was wondering if i can use my gsr harness and ecu or do i need the wiring harness and ecu for a 96 b18c5?

either harness will work
the ITR ECU would be ideal


just out of curiosity why are you doing this swap???
engine blown???

 

[hunter1989]

because from wut ive read the itr would be better platform to start with.. better internals and better head( which is pretty much a ported and polished b16 head)

 

[E_SolSi]

with the money you will be spending on the ITR engine you could build the living hell out of the GSR engine... putting you WELL beyond the level of a stock ITR

what are your goals / plans for this car??

 

[hunter1989]

yea i know... im kinda leaning more to the gsr now. i want to put it over 300 hp i wanna do it n/a but im thinking about maybe a turbo.... i want to be able to drive it daily (in the summer) and it still be reliable and take it to the track alot to

 

[E_SolSi]

300hp, B series, and daily drivable, simply doesnt happen NA... you will NEED to go FI if thats what your looking for

 

[hunter1989]

yea kinda figured that... would u think it would be best to keep the gsr head or should i get a b16 vtech head ported and polished?

 

[E_SolSi]

keep the GSR head

get a b16 vtech head ported and polished?

make sure you get the 5.8ghz or else your vtech wont kick in yo
