alex37211 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I got a wrecked 97 GSR to swap the motor into my civic. I hooked up a radiator from a Toyota cresida to it so that I could start it. It looks ghetto as hell all wired in but it works. I started it the other day. The motor sounds good but I still want to be possitive that there isn't anything wrong that I can fix while the motor is out. I'm going to do a compression check. What should the compression be for each cylinder? Also, are there any other tests that I can perform? The motor has 150k miles on it already. Will I need to change the water and oil pump? Timing belt? Anything else? Thanks. Here's a pic of my ghetto-rigged radiator. http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i20/alex...eg/myteg016.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 definitely water pump, timing belt and tensioner. who cares what it looks like? it worked for you to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 if it runs good. then i would do new timing belt, tensioner, water pump, all new fluids (coolant, & oil change). You could do a clutch kit and flywheel while you have the chance too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Yes. I am planning on installing an ACT lightened flywheel and clutch. Is that a good choice for a NA daily driver? Or is there a better setup out there? Also, if I ever do decide to put a light turbo on it, Is there a flywheel / clutch setup that works better with turbo? Or does that not have anything to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 ACT makes some good clutches and fly wheels. a street/strip clutch would be good for a DD and a lightly boosted set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
