Exact Differences Between GR and GPX Engine

FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 11:27 am

Okay, i have to decide which engine i want to buy... I will be going about this by asking a few places which one will be best. But because a lot of these places (mainly performance/race engine reco's) havent delt with FTOs before, I will probably need to tell them as much nitty gritty details as possible...
So i was wondering if anyone could enlighten me?
Info such as why the GR is better to turbo?
Does the MIVEC have oil squirters up top?
Whats the compression difference?
Strength of components?
etc etc...
Anyone?

Okay a few things i've rounded up so far. some are prob bulls**t:
- MIVEC has oil feeders in the heads causing bottom end starvation
- The rods are weaker in the MIVEC???
- Pistons out of a 93+ 6a12 VR4 Gallant will fit (but lower comp to 8.5:1)
thats it...
any additions?

*~dreamy~* *~dreamy~* and *~dreamy~*.

Just get a GR...forge it and the rest and u will be sweet. Talk to some peopl who do rebuilds..

your budget was like 7k...should do some decent sh*t for that mate.

Yeah i have decided to go with JHH engineering for the rebuild...
Now just need to find a GR engine...
Will there be much difference as far as my microtec is concerned?
