GS/GS-R build

GENERAL General G2/G2IC Discussion

Hello all, thought i would share my project I just started working on.


Donor DB2


pulled all the interior


engine, transmission, other parts removed

Donor DB2 came from a police impound auction $310.00.
b17a1/ys1
k-sport coilovers
k-sport rear lower control arms
k-sports rear camber kit
skunk2 front upper control arms.



off the scrap yard


started cleaning up the swap


found this under all the dirt… bummer…



Picked up a 92 GS clean title no accidents for 800.00

LS pulled, lucky for me it has a YS1 transmission in.



cleaned the bay up a little bit

Nice work so far man, keep up the good work

3

Oh man. Your first pic had me really worried on where this project would go!

4

Great pickup on that GSR! You likely have noticed it already but the front mount holes on your trans are also damaged. Good thing you’ve got that donor YS1 :slight_smile:

5

the ys1 from the LS most likely its the long gear tranny. hope you got lucky and its the short gear. GLWB

6

The gearsets can be swapped between the two YS1 cases so the good gears can go in the good case.

Lucky find on that db2! I’m tuned in for the build.

Excellent to see this on here James :up:

I was going to say, if you don’t feel like swapping gears, let me know, I’ll pick up that trans if you want to get rid of it :hyper:

Thanks everyone!!

Ive had a few people tell me to weld the transmission but I think ill just swap the case and the LS 5 gear. I’m not a fan of the high revs on the freeway.

Its going to be a slow process.

here what I got done last night. Having trouble with the rear mount (hasport 70a kit)

Coming up next:


also ordered a Nardi steering wheel but its coming from china so I’m pretty sure its a knock off…

9

rear mount is bit more work to get it in. as for the nardi most likely its a knock off. lol

10

Once i pulled the t bracket off it was really easy. Finally got to drive it on Friday, I’m not liking the long gears so I’m going to push the transmission repair to the top of my list.

I got my ef rack in the mail today so ill be installing that tonight hopefully.

11

so I’m having a couple of problems. I have codes 21, 23, and 43.

I’m using an LS harness that i added the wires for the VTEC Solenoid, and VTEC Pressure Switch. Using this diagram

My fuel pressure is set to 40 psi with vacuum.

Any suggestions?
The diagram is for a p72 and I’m using a p61, I’m pretty sure its the same pin that i need to use. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks!

Nice man, its coming along, can’t wait to see what you have planned for it

13

Subscribing. Should be an awesome build. Good luck with everything, bro!

Need to turn up that fuel pressure son to at least 50 psi
When i put my b20 in i had the stupid code 43 all the time till i got info & never had a code 43 in 3 yrs so far …worth a shot anyways
Code 23 knock sensor could be bad u dont know since its a donor motor right??? Heres what i was going to do when i was goin to put a vtec head on my b20 i was told i could either use my knock sensor since i have the high compression b20z …OR i can just ground the knock sensor wire to the body , assuming you have no rattling suspension ; ie knocking struts or bad rattling shocks or wore out bushings bcuz thats all that knock sensor does is look for knocking , now with that being said , if you ground it to the body just be sure to make sure your timing is correct & use 91 or 93 octane to insure of no knocking & you’ll be good . I believe this info is on my instrution sheet i got from “Phearable” when i ordered my ecu & jumper harnesses -hope this helps out
