OK i did a search and it answered most my questions, but it did however raise some new ones. so if you'll please bear with me on this one I would really appreciate any and all help becasue i'm seriously considering doing this.
First off I know, manual is better than auto and that auto is pointless for performance, with that said please dont tell me to sell my auto and buy a stick or to just swap in a stick becasue thats not gonna happen, I already have another car and thats a stick and thats my performance car.
With that said, here is what I want to do. I have an old 91 integra rs auto lying around in my front yard. I blew the tranny along time ago and I had plans to rebuild and drop in a 5 spd tranny and do all kinds of crazy stuff, than I got a new car, and forgot all about my poor little tegy in the front yard. So I already ripped all the guts out of the teg (the engine and tranny)and was getting ready to swap everything in than plans changed and i spent most my money on my new car. I did however take the time to buy a 00 gsr head with only 11,000 miles on it with the intetntions of building an engine for my teg.
so i have this head and thats it. i need a block ecu and tranny still, i was gonna go FI but than i changed my mind, inwas gonna go stick but i already have one. So i want this. A gsr engine with a auto tranny, and seeing how its going to be auto i'll build the block to support a 100 shot of nitrous (granted i'll have to do some tranny work too i'm assumeing.)
This is my plan of action, I have 2 ideas.
Plan A, Put the gsr head on the ls block which is already hooked up for an autotranny, than get either the jdm sir-g ecu to control the whole thing (which might not work with the tranny though) or possably find a way to obtain an ecu thats already programmed for auto and vtec (civic ex) and program that to meet the needs of a ls/vtec conversion. problem with this idea is that i dont want to drill lines into the ls block to meet the oil needs of the vtec head, i dont want to run into any leakage problems, this car is going to become my daily driver so i want to keep it clean and reliable.
plan b
buy a gsr block to match up with my gsr head and have an actual gsr engine (no oil leakage) and than find a whay to bolt on an auto trany, problem here is that i'm almost sure that no auto trany will bolt up to the flywheel and i'll have even more problems. Than i was thinking of trying and getting a jdm auto tranny but than that might not match up with the usdm block so than i'd have to get the jdm block. than i would need the jdm ecu and whos knows what else.
i personally think that plan A would be the easiest course of action but would it work and would it be fairly relaible, my main point of concern is that i read that ls/vtec has oil leaking problems and other stuff, but if there are way sto get around this than plan A seems like th eway to go. would the civic ex ecu work how about the sir-g ecu or would i need a stand alone system. I know i'm going to be spending some money to make this work but i dont mind i'll be doing this over the course of a year. Thanks for bearing with me i tried to get straight to the point and be as clear and specific as i could be as to not get locked or flammed.
