1999 Civic DX w/ gsr swap

[vtecboy9]

nice suspension bro

[bliglum]

LOL!! G-force camera!!!

[160calories]

LONG ISLAND REPRESENT! who did ur swap

[xgravismorsx]

@160calories did it myself. had the ecu chipped and tuned by a local guy. was running a p28 on a street tune. was pretty solid, also had to upgrade the drivers side mount after the swap because the stock dx one blew out, due to the power from the gsr. lol

[160calories]

@xgravismorsx hope you eventually put in a gsr tach haha i wouldnt be able to look at a cluster without one! and props man. what you driving now?

[XxJusTxPerFeCtxX]

nice!!!

[klip11694]

who's ever a honda fan you can clearly point out on the speedometer that the speed limit only goes so much and no tac therefore bone stock

or prob swapped with a nice exhuast

[xgravismorsx]

@klip11694

its the stock gauge cluster as the car was a dx hatchback. car was stolen before i got a chance to do the interior.

and the exhaust wasnt anything special just straight 2.5 from the header back to a vibrant racing muffler.

[klip11694]

@xgravismorsx ahh not bad, nah bcuz the the gauges threw me off and forgot the title sayd swapped whoops..

i also see u live on L.I !!!

[silent0snipe4]

How much did it cost you to swap a GSR in there?

[NotPalatial]

why is your hat so crooked?

[999damnit]

loving the camera angles

[vancecoledotcom]

Very nice work, dude!

[lilkapz]

yoo niceeeee civic, pls say u still got it, if so post up a vid weneva u can, luv seein these things move n sound like that. big up from u.k.

[mylifeisJDM]

But that is a SWEET freeway entrance. Good stuff man.

[mylifeisJDM]

Hat anymore sideways and it would be drifting!

[ivtecudont241]

reminds me of how i get on the highway lol

[JdmRollers]

I think my stock single V EJ1 can do about the same

[Plogics88]

Hi quick question gsr = ek coupe is there room for a/c and power steering?

thank you......

[coltenW1]

Lol speedy ride lol I love the camera movement

[itsmacki]

my DX no tach too

1st 40km

2nd 90km

3rd 120km

4th 160km

[Aldo586]

weird noise from 2nd to third

[Foxboy89]

omg there was so much torque that the camera couldnt hold it's self

[elegiono]

sounds good

[act440]

hands down greatest POV acceleration vid i have ever seen

[WILDBOYCLICC]

Hah, forget the tree, the CAMERA seems like a pretty good way to judge g-force! LOL :)

[DJOgurchik]

no tach? that sucks man

[honda96JDM]

ha i got a 96 DX stock dash no need for a tac.....know your car haha good shit bro

[xxnissansilviaxx]

how do u run it hard with no tach?>

[KillerGiraffeGang]

No tach would piss me off haha, nice car though mane.

[xgravismorsx]

@ceaz1R vtec was fine

[ceaz1R]

no vtec was engaged...due to a dx model you have to run the vtec wires in order vtec to engage... if it would of had vtec that gsr would of pulled harder...

[ztwntyn8]

you can judge g-force by the angle of the sented xmas tree lol. sounded good and gota love turbo pwr!

[andreynfs]

yeah yeah i know that y i was surprised to see.

u know.

u gota be a pro to know when to switch the gears while racing.

cuz u cant see where the red line is but well u know what they sayu gotta know ur car, u gotta feel it!

good swap!

[dny7ce450]

@andreynfs A GOOD GENERAL RULE W/ B-SERIES TRANNY IS

1ST=30-32 MPH

2ND=60-65 MPH

3RD=90-95

4TH=120+(USUALLYYOU CAN TOP OUT IN 4TH BEING 5TH IS BASICALLY AN OVERDRIVE

[xxnissansilviaxx]

real shit i wud try to swap the gauges i wouldnt b able to live without a tach i need those things how do u kno wen to shift? by ear?

[andreynfs]

dude is it me or ur odometer doesnt have the RPM regulator here?

u know what im talking bout?

[xxnissansilviaxx]

@andreynfs civic dx's dont have tachometers

[jxiong08]

is this a hatch? coupe?

[jdmspoon1]

damn i miss new york

[Keith6918]

lmfao you guys are from li its the southern state parkway

[cletedawgthewalmart]

what kinda exhaust do you have??? it sounds fucking good

[robfromlouisville]

sounds just like a big lawnmower!!!!!

[halofood]

nice dude what mods do you have 

[ptwo2000]

What exchaust are you running. Thinking of getting RS*R.

[tthomasmpfaff]

It does look like the Southern State Pkway

[vtecnegro85]

[panthercreekallday]

ive got the same car lol but minus the swap im gonna either get ah k20a or ah b18c1 but idk yet nd NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER WINDOWS, AND NO RPM SUCKZZZ !!!!! but i still love my car lolzzz

[panthercreekallday]

ive got the same car yooo lolzzz NO POWER STEERING SUXXX hahaha but urzz is inspiring, im going to swap the motor but idk if i wanna b18c1 or ah k20a....

[714royalriches]

what are the mods on the GSR?

[therpk11]

wow man! sounds great!

[sunnyahsan1]

damn nigga u bee swappin

[blegthbloo]

Sweet air freshener... it was blocking the view. lol

[1kellyok1]

Wish you still had that shit yo. Build another crx and we should run!

[pogitodawako]

Vtec, Best sound in the World!

[nusdogg]

Nice! Loving the pull.

[NaptownEj6]

Nice swap bro

[karkass4]

gsr`s b18c1 is perfectequivalent to continental b18c4. This is superb engine though american gearbox is shorter than s9b

[vtecsux85]

Sounds good.

[Hellz420]

does the civic exhaust bolt up to the gsr engine? i'm guessing exhaust needs to be custom to fit.

[TheCardealer1]

more vids pls :(

very nice

[BerettaXTC]

I hope your camera falls out the window in your next vid

[drkid3000]

OMG! VTEC YO! i love this video i watched it like 20 times already lol.

[TheChilieDawg]

@drkid3000 i should make a video like this guy. when i rush on freeway. i downshift switching lane hearing the vtec kick in. hearing the rev matching. its fun but cops be all over you once you get caught lol

[Fatfob08]

@drkid3000

i dont believe this car has vtec my friend. but it was an awesome pull

[Bigareider]

@Fatfob08 no vtec r u retarted my freind

[vt545968]

woowoowoowow

owowowoowowoowo i have a 2000 honda civic

but its stock

[shel8777]

I'm in chicago, but that IS a GTR Motor, all doped out, skunk works, ported and polished head all bolt ons etc, anywhere else it would be around 6,000

[ddaavvee2381]

Nice hat......NOT... sounds like you stole my soup can for a muffler

[IIB20VTEC]

wow you just embarrassed your self with that comment. at least make a good insult.

[strongisleHK]

thought it looked a little familiar haha, nice civic btw

[strongisleHK]

southern state?

[xgravismorsx]

@strongisleHK haha , yup.

[twistymcslide]

@xgravismorsx rockland....???

[boost7m]

Nice. No tach, also, thats how I learned :)

[xgravismorsx]

yea. by the time the gsr went into the EK it was in 2 previous cars. i could drive that motor w/ my eyes closed.

[vash9]

vtec..screams...loud..

sick swap man.

[shel8777]

All I know RC auto works, (My local import shop) Told me around 3500 bucks.. For that you get an all motor civic that does 12.8 In the 1/4 That's fucking fast...

[iloveallesun]

@shel8777 damn where do you live lol

[BLUECIVICEX]

nice car man.i just finished putting in my gsr swap into 96 civic coupe,pulls nice but i want more hp.this car shit is addicting.

[KungPao916]

Make sure you do all bolt ons, 3 inch intake, tri-y header with 2.5 inch collector, sk2 i/m, type r t/b with type r cams and tune. You should be happy. I'm doing just that with my gsr in my 96 ex coupe, waiting to put in very soon. I'll keep you updated.

[wesfresh]

that's one fine japanese race car

[raidacaipo]

how did you know when to shift?

[xgravismorsx]

mph

[ScorpioFuror]

How many litres?

And is it the 2 dr. hatchback Civic?

[xgravismorsx]

its a b18c1 motor so its 1.8 liters. and yes this is the 2dr hatch.

[xSxDANxSx]

sound

[supras7]

can u swap a gsr engine into a 1999 se civic (sedan) with ease?

[rsxking04]

any motor will fit if you know your wirings

[halofood]

nice man it sounds nice and pulls hard

[shel8777]

I just got a 94 civic dx. I got about 3K to get a GSR motor which i'm gonna have full skunk works done to it. Plus port and polish the head with a 3 angle valve job.

My local shop RC autoworks has one doing 12's all motor. Like mine will be. You know what's stupid? JEALOUS COCKSUCKERS who talk shit because they don't have one...

[BlueRice]

how much will skunk port polish will cost? im thinking of doing some tune up for my gsr too.

[94EglVisionTSI]

What highway you on? Looks like B/W PArkway

[themp3bandit]

i just got a 98 civic dx 5 speed stock.

i was just wondering if it has power steering because i havent driven it yet.

and i really hate the car to be honest

[xgravismorsx]

mine had power steering before the swap. but i took it out and threw a manual rack in there instead.

[themp3bandit]

so does that mean it doesnt have power steering?

[xgravismorsx]

unless someone took it out the DX should have power steering. just check for the power steering pump on the right hand side of the motor. and if you dont know what that is check for the power steering reservoir (w/ the red cap) also located on the right side of the engine bay right behind the headlight.

[trillakilla]

its got ps

[what026]

I like the way your car sounds from the inside. its sounds smooth

[kiantech]

you know what is stupid, people in civics who think they are fast

[xgravismorsx]

you know whats even worse....? people who make complete asses of themselves by trying to act hard online. way to go!!

[D16Y8PWR]

you know what is stupid, people looking for civic videos on youtube, just to make stupid coments!!

why so hater? did you loose vs a little 4 cylinder?

[RningRiot]

the vtec isn't noticable on gsrs cuz of the dual stage butterflies. Get some shocks dude. Seriously.

[xgravismorsx]

it had a skunk2 manifold on it, and i had omni power full coils on it. seriously.

[RningRiot]

shit remind me not to get omni power full coils then. the ride like coil overs on stock shocks. shitty.

that skunk2 manifold do anything for you? im using a polished itr now and thought about getting one but im not sure if its worth the cost.

[xgravismorsx]

honestly the ride wasnt as bad as this video leads you to believe. it was a much better ride than when i had skunk2 springs on stock struts.

as for the manifold, i def got a boost in power from not having the dual stage in there and it was mostly low end. def worth the $150 i paid for it.

[AhmaadKIP]

sounds good

[BowTie0rDie]

Thanks. yeah im thinking about doing an ek gsr swap an just trying to get some ideas.

[jdm2envy]

is that lsd or nonlsd?? vtec crossover on gsr are not noticeable

[xgravismorsx]

its non lsd. i sold my LSD tranny when i took the gsr out of my crx.

[BowTie0rDie]

oh an horsepower?

[xgravismorsx]

never found out the hp but i would assume it was over or around 200hp.

[BowTie0rDie]

wut were the mods?

[xgravismorsx]

gsr, skunk2 intake manifold, intake, hytech replica, full exhaust w/ a vibrant (esoval) muffler. p28 chipped w/ a street tune.

the rest of the stuff were mods for the car itself.

[calcatchem]

good stuff! pulls strong, nice swap! would love to see a full walkaround of the DX :D

[xgravismorsx]

i would love to if i still had it.

i have pics of it if you find my user name on hondahookup. thats about it though.

[goracks69]

Nice powershift. Looks like you solved the torque issue that all stock civics tend to suffer from, quite well. How'd you mount the camera? It just fell right back into place after you picked up the pace again.

[xgravismorsx]

haha yea this thing hauled. i really miss it from time to time.

as for the mount i just used a tripod i have for my SLR camera and i just mounted a point and shoot onto it. i extended two of the legs onto the floor of the rear of the car and one leg onto the rear seat. it served its purpose :lol:

[hiluss]

how u no when to shift

[xgravismorsx]

been driving the same gsr for years. by that time i could do it just by sound but i usually just went by the mph when i was racing.

[p1n0yBalleR]

how much did the gsr cost you including installation? =D

[xgravismorsx]

initially when i bought the motor it was $1800 complete swap. but that was when i had a 93 coupe. and the motor had diff tranny's and what not.

but overall i would say w/ the parts that were on it at the time it got stolen i spent around $3000+ when all was said and done. (chip, tune, intake manifold, bolt ons....)

[p1n0yBalleR]

coupe er hatchback?

[xgravismorsx]

hatchback.

[futbol345]

ek + b18c1/c5 = Cat-like reflexes! =)). Nice vid.

[illistflip]

haha, I like how the camera mount moved around and went in place after you slowed down and did a slight left turn..

was your camera mount D.I.Y.??

[xgravismorsx]

yea i just put a point and shoot onto my SLR tripod.

i put out 2 legs to rest on the floor and 2 leg onto the seat. it just couldnt handle the turning :lol:

[sidepipechris]

merrick ave.. ahah. good run. at least you were smart enough to do a pull there.. where you from? dont worry i drive a vw check my vids.

[xgravismorsx]

live in merrick. doesnt matter cuz the car was stolen in august from right out in front of my house.

[aznboy103]

im sorry did you find it and from where i live U.S holland michigan cars dont get stolen much not that i know of

[xgravismorsx]

nope wasnt recovered. not really surprised since honda's have a habit of disappearing in the ny/nj area.

[aznboy103]

well you should get LOW JACK but cant cause of the economy

[nikkiesmokey]

you right about that lol my type r was never found lol

[xgravismorsx]

lo jack would have done nothing. the car was stolen in the early am and by the time we noticed it was gone it was prolly already in the bx being chopped up.

[nikkiesmokey]

i didnt say anythign about lo jack. my type r had 2 alpha locks clutch lock and a cut off. the funny thing is i know who took it imma let them sleep on it for a while!! it was some f@#ckin dominicans from east new york bklyn

[xgravismorsx]

yea i think i know who clipped mine too. son of a bitch was rollin around by my house a few nights before it went down.

and yea if they want it, they're gonna get it no matter what.

[Santanero1503]

where did u get the B&M shifeter and how much ?

[Santanero1503]

Damn nice 2nd to 3rd what kind of short shifter do u have?

[xgravismorsx]

B&M short shifter.

went in no problem. and made a huge diff compared to oem.

[trifad]

my stock civic ex with the sohc v-tec motor screams when v-tec pops. fucking internet nerds get out and actually drive your car

[xgravismorsx]

only way your hearing single cam vtec is open header. shits weak.

[turbod15]

nice

shifting with no rev gauge? lol

[xgravismorsx]

yea. been driving the same gsr motor for almost 5 years so i was used to it.

car was stolen in august so it will never get its SiR cluster.

[mikelivingston69]

thats normal man i got a gsr swap this summer in 98 civic lx stock intake manifold too sounds the same as my car

nice ride too peace

[antoshkacartoshka]

ahahahahaahahahaah fucking funny shit

[dwnsthgaboy]

about the loud crossover thing, that's the most ridiculous thing I've heard on youtube. YI think you got that backwards buddy. If vtec isn't working correctly, then you won't hear. Try some research before you make such claims. I suggest a little time on honda-tech.

[xgravismorsx]

which is what i said.....

[xgravismorsx]

sorry i mis-read.

but seriously a loud cross over is not suppoed to exist. vtec on a basically stock motor you will not hear, even on a lightly tuned car with proper tuning you wont hear it.

the only time you hear vtec is on shitty tunes or cars that are faaar high output than that or a basically stock motor.

watch any best-motoring w/ a stock ctr or itr...you wont hear shit.

vtec is suppoed to create a smooth torque/power curve not...nopower, no power...VTEC...POWER!!!

u need time on H-T

[xgravismorsx]

granted you still hear a cross over but its not supposed to be a huge loud BAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

unless of course you're running aggressive cams w/ a built motor.

but were talking most low end tunes w/ bolt-ons

[dwnsthgaboy]

okay right now you are contradicting yourself. Saying you won't hear the vtec crossover, but then saying it shouldn't be that loud. Obviously, if you have a stock motor you won't have an aggressive tone when vtec engages. But there is a definitive change in the exhaust tone. Thereby being able to hear "vtec" engaging. The videos that you sggest I look at don't support your claims at all.

[dwnsthgaboy]

I'd really love to speak with the people that told you the only time you can hear vtec is on built motors or people with shitty tunes or when vtec isn't working properly. I never said there would be a "loud" crossover, but I am saying that you should hear the crossover. Saying that if your car is running properly you shouldn't hear vtec is just incorrect.

[xgravismorsx]

yea there is no doubt that you will hear it. im not debating that i was just saying that with mild bolt ons and a tune you should have a smooth crossover. you only get that aggressive crossover when you get aggressive cams in the car

[EKGSR1]

What up man i got a gsr swap in my 00 hatch, I love it man, no vtec? you cant hear the cross over

[xgravismorsx]

if vtec is working and tuned correctly you're not supposed to hear a loud crossover.

[EKGSR1]

true i was told the same thing, well even in the japanese vids you dont hear it, what ecu and tune are you runnin any suggestions, im in the process of rebuilding mine with type r internals, head has crower stage 1 cams, skunk2 cam gears and skunk 2 intake mani,

[xgravismorsx]

well i was running a stock gsr w/ skunk2 intake manifold, intake, header and full exhaust.

what i did was just run an obd-2 to obd-1 step-down, a chipped p28 ecu and i had a local guy that owns a shop out on longisland do a street tune for me.

car pulled HARD

[bboihero]

cool i got a gsr swap too.

[xgravismorsx]

haha its the southern state, exit 24
