'92 teg (tuned by previous owner since I know/knew nothing) got totaled thx to an idiot who STOPPED on a highway cuz he missed his exit smh...but I've been hearing alot about engine talk etc etc and I'm thinking of building an all motor...so far I think I'm solid on a GSR block, Type R head. Now as for he parts of any of those things......I know nothing but I want to learn and do them on my own, I have a mechanic but I want to know my stuff so I can help or do the whole thing myself....thx again for the help

You answered your own question.
Google "build an all motor gsr" and see what you get.
The forum is riddled with questions like this daily, and they are answered in the same consistant fashion. The basics are easily found, so once you have a build path for your n/a build and need some specifics we can come in handy. Other than that, nobody is gonna lay down engine basics 101 when it is easily available all over the net.

Yeah I read pissedsol's swap 101 thread earlier today and I got some stuff but was still LOST, even if I could be pointed in the right direction, I'll definitely Google it though thx

Didn't see anything about GSR on the list but do you think this would be a good supplement? If not do you know any other dvds? I'm still reading the howstuffsworks article GOOD STUFF!

I wouldn't be too concerned with learning GSR specific things right now. If I were you, I'd become familiar with an engine before anything. See if you can find yourself an engine to take apart and just look at it and try to put it back together. If you can't put it back together, look online for help. This is a common things with cars. Trust me, I've spent countless hours out in the shop trying to figure out what the hell went where, when the whole time the answer was somewhere on the internet.

 

[INJEN78]

yep you can find anything about anything on the internet..
basics..pistons,rods,compression,block,head,valves,cams,sparkplug,dizzy...
just look up any part name and what it does..then you will get an idea

Thx, that's what I've been doing while reading the how stuff works article. When I read posts that have stuff I don't understand I google or wiki it now. Thx so much for the help guys so far I have a few basics down and getting into the more intermediate things just dreading learning about wiring and all that because just from the sounds of some people's questions seems complicated

thx again
