I wouldn't buy it but do a compression test just to be sure the engine really is healthy.

mugen "replica" valve cover

its going to drive roughhhh

I wasn't going to say anything but since you did. That isn't a real valve cover, some people care others don't but just and FYI.

Find out what it was tunned on. He he says it's just running a generic "chip" that wasn't tunned exactly for his setup, walk away.

what do you mean by that......

 
Rep Power: 313

ask him what ECU it has and tell us...

and get a compression test before you buy it..

 
Rep Power: 293

If it was done the right way he should say somthing along the lines of "It's a chipped p28 tunned on hondata/uberdata/crome/neptune". If he says something like "It's a p28 with a "Skunk2", "Spoon", "Mugen" chip I wouldn't buy it or I would have it tunned the right way.

 
Rep Power: 228

ok....this is his exact message.....

"The Ecu was sent off to skunk2 to be chipped and programmed."

since it is a skunk2....is that not as good....should i ask him anymore questions.....or should i just forget about the whole thing.......

 
Rep Power: 313

hmmmmmmm

i dono...

Does he have reciepts from skunk?

 
Rep Power: 293

I personally wouldn't buy it. If it was dyno tunned for his excat setup than I'd say it would be ok.

The problem isn't if shunk2 is good or not. Think of it this way. If you built your own n/a lsvtec would you want to just to have your ecu chipped with a map that wasn't tunned specificly for your setup or would you want to get dyno tunned specificly to your motor.

ok.....i think i am going to take yalls advice......still....i am looking for another car.....and i stumbled across this......

"95 Integra w/ InlinePro T3/T4 Turbo Kit. 2000 Ls Motor w/ 78k. Chasis has 176k. Car is lowered, stock steelies w/ factory hub caps. Turbo Smart Dual Stage Boost Controller. Comp.Clutch Stage 5 w/ C.C. FlyWheel. Inline solid mounts. Hondata, tuning by Big Fish @ Inline. Results TBA."

what do you think....what questions should i ask him....it is still for sale........

i really like this car......it is fresh.....but i dont want to commit till i am sure.....

 
Rep Power: 293

^that sounds much better. If my memory serves me inline pro has a good rep honda-tech. Again I'd do a compression test and see if you can dyno graph if possible (with the a/f ratio). Do you have a link to the for sale ad?

Lol were looking at the same things. theres TONS of swapped civics for sale in the area, but there all LS swaps, not GS-R swaps. ugh. and they run like $6k. amazing.

o and its never been dynoed, but he "guesses" 200 whp. all 200whp of that gets a 9.6 1/8 mile. thats the wimpiest 200 horses Ive ever seen. thats like a 16sec 1/4 for 200whp. Not so much.

stage 5 clutch will be fun for about 3 months, before it blows or kills the tranny...

looks way better Hondata for the win!!!
