So in using the GXSR grommets on the VTEC coil packs, how did you secure them to the 5th gen valve covers? Which GXSR coils did you get? The coils were from an 04 GSXR600 that I paid about $12 for on Ebay. I just pulled the grommets off them, stuck them into the holes in the head then carefully wiggled the vtech coils into the grommet that was already in the head. They hold really tight, they are not bolted down. Had to cut the mounting part off one of the coils for clearance. I check them once in a while, heaven't had a problem with them coming loose in 10k miles.

Yep, I did the 5th gen engine swap in my 07 RWB last winter. I was bored! lol! It was a straight forward eng swap, all bolt-in. Pretty much the same as if just replacing the vtech engine. Used a 98 engine i found on ebay, which turned out to be about 30 miles away. So i went there and made a cash deal at $250. Swapped over all the vtech throttle bodies, sensors, coils, clutch slave, ect. Found older GSXR coils on ebay just to use the grommets from them, vtech coils stick out above the head about an inch. Had to replace the plug on the end of stator wires to match the R/R. Installed a Vfrness while i was at it. I used a Rabid Bike Racing for tuning, just let it self tune itself. Wouldnt mind having it tuned on a dyno one of these days. Runs real good! I put about 10k trouble free miles on it so far, the bike currently has 61k mile. I'm very happy with the outcome and the whine!
