know your role!
good morning, haven't been on this site in a few months and not to get too deep into it, I live on the jersey shore and as you all know we got destroyed, a lot I own personally included.
regardless I'm picking myself back up and since I lost my car I'm hunting for an ek and to boost moral somewhere down the hopefully not long road I want to put in a gsr motor.
now my reason for posting;
I understand for the swap, complete swap from hmotors perhaps, I would need a driver side engine post and rear bracket from 99-00 si, correct? but I also keep reading that the stock ek throttle cable doesn't work, but I keep reading mixed answers as to what does. so based on experience which cable will work correctly?
last but most important; due to the hurricane situation (why I started the thread with this) my funds are limited, so buying a complete b18c outright might be difficult. on top of that with strict nj inspection I would like to build a usdm gsr instead of jdm, unless there's an easier way?
in other words can I buy a gsr head, block and trans separate one at a time when I can and still make it usdm? and if so which ecu would i use? both car and motor would most likely be obd2.
I apologize for the length but I just want everybody to understand it'll be hard to dish out 4 grand+ for a motor that won't even come close to pass inspection with what I have right now, I'm willing to spend a lot of the building a full motor so that isn't a problem. thanks in advance.
