B18c GSR swap
Got a 94 Del Sol Si, auto trans with a D16Y8. Car is stock with no mods at all.
Looking to pickup a B18 to swap into it, but wanna keep the auto trans cause I don't wanna daily a manual around a military base, especially as I start adding on more power over X amount of months.
I know jdm gsr's had auto transmissions but what are my odds that they line up to my stock drivetrain and all? Just plug n play with little modification or should I just leave the swap idea aside and build and boost my D16?
And yes I know jdm stuff is gonna be expensive, not to worried about that.

Re: B18c GSR swap
I’m nitpicking like hell when I say this, but I just wanted to clarify something.
Do you want the B18C or the GSR engine? The B18C is the Type R engine, and the GSR is a B18C1. Only want to clarify because your budget will change substantially.
Also, just swap to a manual if you want any real power. Or if you have the space, find a cheap civic or something like that to swap, then you can have a daily and a project.
