Hello:
I have an opportunity to get both a modded 90 GSX, and a 98 Spyder GS. I was wondering if I could do the following:
Take the 6-bolt out of the GSX. Then use the GSs 4G64 crank, and use the GSXs pistons and rods, and put that back into the 6-bolt. This should make it a 2.3L. I am doing this, because for the upgrade in displacement, and the upgraded pistons. Then swap the 6-bolt into the GS. And take the head of the GSX, and put that on the GS.
After doing some research on how to swap a 6-bolt into a 2G, the only thing I would have to worry about is the CAS, correct? The question is, the article was intended for turbo 2Gs. I was wondering would the same apply for the GS? Will I be able to get the ECU out of a 98 GST, and use that in the Spyder GS without cutting any wires and what not? Are the wiring harness the same between the Spyder GS and GST? Can I use the 1G injectors, fuel pump, and fuel rail? Will this work with the stock computer? With the GST computer?
After having a pile of parts, put it together, and make another DSM. Now, the second part which may sound scary to many of you:
Take the 7-bolt block that came from the GS, and use the GS pistons, and the 6-bolt crank. Then use the GS head. Now you should have a 2.1L, correct? Now, swap this back into the GSX. Now I guess its the first ever naturally aspirated all-wheel-drive GSX. Will I have to worry about the computer now? Im guessing there might be a problem with the MAF sensor, sensing that there is less air. Then can I use some type of resistor, that changes the input to the computer, and make it run like it should? I am doing this, because I need something cheap, with AWD, for the winter.
Thanks
