Wee, fb is gonna be modded

Well, my gsl-se is about to transform from a near stock blast to drive, to a fun, faster fb

Im ordering the holley 600cfm setup from RB as well as a 4 puck clutch and a new pressure plate and lighter flywheel.

i cant wait for it to get back up and running.

no more pulling on civic si's for me, time to go v8 hunting.

But it's always fun to crap on a Civic imo. It's nice to make them understand that their Civic isn't fast.

how about you spend some money on proper exhaust? Instead of spending money on the carb, invent in a good exhaust system.

Maybe a RB rr header and then a full ISC set-up from there...

Trust me , the GSL-SE injection can make plenty of power. Unless your 13B has a big port to it, keep the factory injection.

Make sure the clutch itself has the sprung hub
go with the Aluminum RB flywheel.


If you do as I suggested, let me know, and I can give you some pointer on what to do to your -SE injection to get a bit more from it.

look at my sig, ive got a full rb exhaust, rb long header and no cats.

my injectors are going bad, so ive decided to just get rid of the whole efi BS.

gonna simplify my engine and make a bit more power.

ive done pretty much all that can be done to a stock port gsl-se without changing out rear end, fooling around with gear ratios and modding the trans.

my engien is too low mielage to just pull and port. it would be a waste of money,
but if you have pointers on how to make more power then a carb setup on an efi with bad injectors, by all means, it never hurts to learn.

nice, i've got the same setup in my GS. its pretty quick and i still have to put in a new clutch and swap the LSD from my SE into this car, but even as is, its pretty dope

i also bought my carb used so i've got some issues with the secondaries opening but from what ive read regarding the RB 600's they are awesome on these cars, they say 180 crank HP, which is a lot for these light cars.

if you have any questions on the install, shoot me a PM
