How do you tell the difference between the gtx and the gtr?. also has anyone heard of using a throttle body from a 96-98 (not sure the year) for 94 mx DOHC. is it going to make any difference. let me know on both topics thanks

[tmac4t4]

im assuming your talking about the 94 1.8L DOHC engine?..i dont see any difference in using a newer throttle body? were you hoping to add more power or something?

[trbohatch]

ya the 1.8. I am not sure what they are talking about i just remember reading in a thread or something and not sure if it would add power or anything. let me know

[tmac4t4]

just a tip..dont waste any money upgrading the 1.8...just save up for a klze..than your car will be a GS-R...thats my plan..er..was

He's not talking about the K8, he's talking about the 1.8L 4cyl BP, totally different.

[tmac4t4]

oh,,well in that case,,i know nothing

So back to my question. How do you tell the difference beteween the gtr and the gtx. so that way when i order the motor i know what to look for to make for sure it is the right motor???? let me know

bigger injector(orange top i think) engine codes, intake manifold, turbo is a vj23(ballbearing and way bigger than the gtx vj20)

the gt-r edition are sooo rare, you have more chance to find fresh Jean Paul II s--- under ure bed

only from my memory, i think they produced only 600 gtr familia in japan, do finding one in desend shape 10-15year after is kinda hard

[trbohatch]

do you by chance know of anyone, or any websites. that has the way to find one from japan? kind of a dumb question right?

[kab-rst]

what you could do is buy a gtx and put the gtr setup on it, or simply by changing the turbokit

i do know someone that have a gtr engine in his garage,and he's not using it. but were in quebec:/

Exhaust manifold will be a cast mini ram horn on a GTR...will be a short runner on a GTX
Exhaust manifold will have BPC8 cast into it on a GTR....BP26 on a GTX
Turbo will have a "bolted" on intake on the compressor on the GTR....plastic pipe on a GTX with a hose clamp
GTR is a Front Mount intercooled motor...the GTX is a sidemount...so take a look at the piping.
GTR intake manifold is cast with BPC8 and the GTX is cast with BP26...the only way to tell beyond that is actually look inside the manifold. The GTR has fins inside the plenum. GTX does not.

BOTH motors have a BP26 casting head tho....just so that you're aware. The valves in the GTR head were sodium filled. GTX was regular solid steel
