Alright guys here it is I found a good b17 engine for cheap. I am already tired of my turbo D just to much stuff goes wrong. Now my question is, is did the 92-93 GSR's come with automatic trannies or not? And I have read that the b17 tranny is like the best B series tranny that there is. Also I have read that the b17 is OBD-1 is that correct any help would be appreciated thanks. I searched but none of these specific questions where answered and I wanted to make sure.

 

No. There is no such thing as an automatic GS-R in either generation. It is the best B-series cable transmission there is, only bested by the ITR and CTR hydrolic transaxles. It will require a conversion kit to use in your 5G.All stock, unmodified B17A1's are OBD-1 and ideally used with a (rare) P61 computer.

 

sweet thanks Kai I was hoping you would see this you are like the resident b17 afficiando. does 700 bones sound good with 100,000 miles?

 

:hugglez:

That's a pretty good deal for an all original B17A, I used to have a B17A shortblock kicking around my place. It had high milage and smoked like mad, but I still sold it to a guy who knew this for $450. If you plan to keep the engine, you may want to consider getting some kind of crank girdle for it. B17A's are the largest displacment B-series DOHC VTEC engine without a girdle, and seem to have a nasty habit of spinning rod bearings when they get older. This flaw was recognized and corrected for the following B18C group.

Z10 makes an excellent 3 main girdle for this reason.

 

sweet I won't be putting it into my car until I move to Colorado, I may even wait for WCS to help me...

 

U might want to check the laws, b.c some place its illegal to put an engine older than ur car in. OT what turbo were u running?

 

greddy 15g kit on a z6

 

It's illegal everywhere in the US, but I think KS is cool about it.

 

yup...very few states give a shit about how smoggy, old, whatever your car is....I mean we dont even have inspection....half of my winter beaters should not have ever ever ever been road worthy...thanks Michigan.

 

B17s are very nice engines.
