the best motor swap would be to buy a greddy turbo kit and run 13s-14s
on like 5-6 pounds of boost. or build your motor(cams, valves, springs blah blah) and/or buy pistons ( since gsr has high compression) rods.
i'd build the bottom end and run turbo. youll mob on everyone.
the one motor swap you can do even though i'm against it is the h22 prelude motor swap. bottom line : to big, to heavy lotsa torgue steer
you got a phat motor, just keep it!

ps theres a guy in my town runnig high 13s (on slicks) all motor(gsr)
hope that helps

yah...
i agree with juncivic

the motor in the gsr is a beaut
just spend time tuning the settings of your car

or like juncivic said, if you want mroe lateral power, go for the turbo

why would he swap out a b18c1 for a h22a....hmmm maybe because h22a can have 500hp+ daily driven power but I wouldn't honestly swap out the b18c1 if it has low miles...

I wouldn't swap it out period. H22 is too damn heavy. Its not even worth it. What are you gonna do with 500 hp daily? Shit i'd be happy with 300 hp! Its just my opinion though.
