Question swap/immobilizer.....

Well i found a K20a3 for REAL cheap. Here is my question. If I buy the motor from this guy, he did a motor swap in his EP, will they let reset the immobizer or do whatever they have to do to get the car to start if I don't have the title for the car???

I mean this guy isn't going to give me his title he still drives the car.....

The motor isn't out of a wrecked car....

You'll need VIN # and then Honda will see if the car is stolen or not, then everything should be ok. the trick is gettin the car to Honda so they can work their magic on the ECU.

yea you just need a bill of sale and the vin, cause they get the code from the vin. All they needed to see when i brought my car to Acura was the vin. They ran a check on the car right there. But to be safe get a bill of sale.
