URGENT: What did I get myself into?

[keepthecrown]

Today I bought an integra, it has a gsr chassis but the previous owner swapped in an ls engine and did a makeshift wiring job. This is my first car and have no idea where to begin to get the car back to normal or somewhere near it. I'll be getting most of my parts from rockauto and doing most of the work myself with a little guidance from some friends. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see how we can help without any direction in what the exact problem is.

Any specifics?

Let's start with what exactly is wrong with it, Then we can help guide you down the right path.

 

[keepthecrown]

There is oil leaking onto the transmission I think it's from the distributor and also the car is very sluggish when accelrating from a start

 

[R13]

Check the cam seal, Little black plastic cap next to the distributer, If it's leaking replace it with a billet one, If it is the Dizzy just get a new o-ring and you're good.

As for being sluggish, Is it hesitating or is it just slow? :lol:

 

[keepthecrown]

Definitely slower than what it should be I hope . Also do you have any idea how I would go about rewiring like what parts to buy harnesses etc.

I hope you bought an intake for that...

And you have more pics of the car

Why would you do this to yourself?

 

[OneFastGSR]

Definitely looks like a project, Hope you didn't overpay for it

It has no intake...

 

[keepthecrown]

Yes the intake is the least of my worries
and I'll get some more pictures up as soon as possible

What? Does it have one now?

 

[keepthecrown]

One of my friends said they'll give me an intake

 

[MiketheDyke]

Ok but don't drive without one.
