you can make more than S2k performance from a B18 for FAR
less than it would take to install an F20C, just have to do mad homework and learn the motor.

:naughty:

Bore a B18C out to 84 mm, run high CR, skunk stage 2 cams, yadda yadda...that'll be about the same as an F20C and no issues with getting it back into the car.

why would you spend all that money putting it in a GS-R when you could put it in something lighter?

with the amount of money you'd spend getting it to fit into a gsr you could get a real s2k.

if you build a happy 220/145 to the wheels
B2LC1 GSR you'll be like s2what?

of course a comptech rear swaybar, the proper
brakes, 16" lighter weight rims/tires, 400/300
springs and koni adjustables would help in
leaving the s2k in timestamp rearview...
can we say holy Gz?

the main problem is that its rwd to begin with and for the type of money/time it would require you are much better off the build your motor.... the other problem is if you do the swap, you almost are forced to keep the car forever....

see the car's engine is horizontaly opposed, so i belive the rear wheel drive part would not be a problem i belive you can hook up a jdm accord sir transmission to it but i am not sure. This is not what i am thinking of doing it was just something me and a friend were talking about one day and i wanted to see if someone on here has ever done it
