unless you travel often, then gsr tranny would be more practical

gsr tranny is practical in any situation

Depending on whether you do a JDM or USDM motor, the swap will be different as far as any wiring you may need to do or what ECU you need to run. You may use your stock linkage, mounts, axles, everything!
JDM motors do not have a vtec oil pressure switch, so if you go JDM, you need a JDM ECU or a tuneable ECU to bypass the pressure switch. Otherwise, you USDM ECU will be looking for a switch that your engine doesn't have, unless you put a USDM solenoid on it.
On both you will need to run a wire to the knock sensor, and a wire to the vtec solenoid.
Also, keep in mind that you may need a jumper harness for the ECU depending on the route you choose to go with it
Hope this helps prepare you for the swap. GL!

Amend bro... JDM motor with JDM ecu, drop and go. JDM motor without JDM ecu, tune ecu and lots of wiring = time and money. Just USDM, drop and go. Small info like if you getting a JDM or USDM, would help a lot.......Depending on whether you do a JDM or USDM motor, the swap will be different as far as any wiring you may need to do or what ECU you need to run.

not really, if he wants to run a JDM motor he doesnt have to do any extra wiring, only decide how he would like to do the vtec oil pressure switch. he can get a phareable chipped ECU that will come already with the sensor bypassed, he can run hondata s300 and do it himself, he can put a USDM solenoid on it and have the pressure switch there and then just wire it to the USDM ECU and that will work too. only way it gets a lot more costly is if he goes the route i did and just purchase the Hondata and go and bypass the sensor himselfAmend bro...
