This can be done...it does take some money though....I went through many bank accounts for the overall transfer to be done and working in progress.
You wont need the TCU...so you can ditch that. So I wouldn't need a replacement for that at all? I'd just need to remove it?
I have a 97 LS ob2...and did a jdm auto gsr swap which was ob1 so i had to go backwards on getting a custom made jumper harness from RyWire.
Yes you will need the auto ecu for that specific engine or it will not work. So that auto GSR ecu is the ECU I would want correct?
Things to consider---You will not need to wire up Vtec either....we found that out the hard way..it is already programmed into the ecu itself. Does this also mean I'll need a new engine harness if I'm not wiring it up directly?
I completely redid my suspension which included axles...ball joints...coilovers...brakes...as i always took into consideration of doing all new motor mounts as well. It still uses the standard auto LS axles right?
Also when i did my swap I had ordered a complete swap which included the GSR tranny as well as the b18C long block. its not labeled as a b18c1...but as a B18c...not sure if it would make a difference because the JDM model long block.
The Auto transmission for the LS will not hold up well with the GSR motor for every long so i coughed up $100 bucks for the GSR transmission. Now when you say GSR tranny you mean to say it's the auto one right?
End results...it gives a quick pull n here n there...but don't expect it to win you any races at the strip. Car will never race. It's just for me to have a little fun with.
Paid total of round $4,000 to complete whole suspension with all new parts ordered as well as ordering the complete swap and custom harness.
Added in I also did a full tune up---timing belt...spark plugs...belts...oil..the basic stuff to get it running good.
It was a headache towards the end...so be prepared...how much money are you willing to spend..??? I've been working on this for over 3 years and it no where near being finished. It will be in time. Even if I only get small pieces here and there.
