how would i do that, and would it matter if the cylinder 1 sensor in the si dizzy is messin up? cause i think he said he was gonna swap the motor out anyway. oh yeah, just cause i told him i would tell people. if anyone wants a k20 swap, he can do it for about 6000 with everything that goes with the swap.
no, but seriously....i could use my si dizzy on it? it's a DOHC though...it would work?

[95civicgsr]

why the fuck would you rev a zc to 10,000? if he did that then expect some bent/snapped valves or maybe he floated a valve or something. check the motor very well before you do this trade.

i may ask you to go with me if you don't have anything to do that weekend

[thatboyvic]

yeah dont be vulnerable. if you dont know about cars you need to take a dizzy with you that will work and make sure the car actually runs. he may have removed the internals from the dizzy so it couldnt start to avoid the test drive. a zc only can go to around 7-7.5k. you need to be a very cautious driver if you have no rev limiter. your asking for trouble that way. you could easily loose traction and over rev pretty damn easy and that would be it. game over for you. people are very scandelous. seeing that the chip is probably an ebay "spoon bullshit" 30 dollar one. it has eliminated stuff and leaned the car out. those chips are crap. ask alot of questions be repetitive as to see if he is lying. ask questions over and over putting him in an aggravated situation which will see if he will slip or answer differently. you need to take someone with you

its easy you just wire up the second cam pickup to the si dizzy. simple i can get you a wiring diagram. he may have already done this. ask what dissy he used. on mikes b16 i used a single cam si dizzy too if i remember right. it took a couple tries but i got it finally.

[95civicgsr]

i work weekends

Vic? you free on weekends? it'll be a one day thing. if you can't. that's cool, cause i just remembered that the guy that originally made me want a CRX still lives in houston. i can pick him up before i go over there. J, don't worry about me screwing up the trade. the other guy is paying for the distributor at a junkyard and if i trade cars, i'm paying him for the distributor. so if i don't want the car, i'm not out of any money. thanks for the thought though bro.

you cant find shit for the zc motors. cams and cam shafts you can only find in JAP and the only company that makes them are HKS and there not cheap.

[Stealth assassin]

reving a zc to 10,000 WTF who whould do that dumb ass thing. hahahahha

just cause there's the possibility of reving to 10,000 doesn't mean i or anyone would do it. jeez

actually i can get him anything he wants internally for the zc you have to know what you are looking for, do your reasearsh before you type and try to correct someone manny. :wink: and i can get the parts cheap if i need to.

thank you Vic, and chances are, i'll prolly be hitting you up on that offer.

[dsm_talon77901]

dont buy the car its been sold like 100 time in h-town

ok, but that's not a decent reason. a decent reason not to get it would be WHY has it been sold that many times? he says he's only had it like 4-5 months and he's the one that put the zc in it. i figure, we'll hook up the dizzy, do an oil change to put in the proper oil (just incase he's trying to hide something), then decide whether or not i want the car, i also have a friend (he's the reason i wanted a crx for so long in the first place) that can pretty much knock on an engine and tell you what's wrong with it (he ranks up there with you guys, J and Vic), he's gonna go with me and check it out just incase i miss anything.
but if it IS this car that's been sold that many times in houston, come back with why. help me out here man.

Run a Car Fax Report on it. That will tell you how many entries it will have on the title. If it has had more than 5 Owners. Dont buy the car!!!! If it has had more than 5 owners, then something is up with the car and all you will be doing is buying a problem car that will cost you more money and as you post on here all the time, you never have any extra money to put into your car.... My point it, why screw yourself????? Find another car bro.

well, car fax reports cost money. do you know any where what does reports like that for free?

[thatboyvic]

ask on the car for sale thread in Houston-Imports. some have accounts and ar enice enough to run it for you

what do you mean, Vic? like start a new thread or what?

[Bulldog Stang]

well, car fax reports cost money. do you know any where what does reports like that for free?

Dont you think that running it and paying for it might be worth it in the long run?? Especially if it is going to cost you thousands of $$$

[95civicgsr]

look at some of the vehicle for sale threads on h-i there is a guy that post carfax in them. send him a pm asking if he will do it.

i did, he doesn't have the account anymore
if anyone on here has on, the vin is

[dsm_talon77901]

i been a member of H-I.com for long time and i seen this car for sell like 6 times in like 10 months. Some people on H-I said it had a crack head but i dont realy know. If i was you just take someone that know hondas and let him see it. I just wanted to tell you just to help you out :thumbs:
found a pic of it
http://www.solisearch.net/ims/pic.php?u ... I&i=117402 (http://www.solisearch.net/ims/pic.php?u=17762JQ7FI&i=117402)

that's it? u sure? well, i have a replacement fender for that passenger one there, but i wonder what else is wrong with the body. i'm taking a friend of mine, Jerimiah, to look at it. it's excellent w/ hondas. he'll know if something's wrong with it. see what else you can find out about it, previous owners and such. a carfax report if possible.

[95civicgsr]

might as well keep your own car tj.
http://www.solisearch.net/ims/pic.php?u=17762JQ7FI&i=117402

yeah, prolly, i'm still gonna go look at it, maybe he's got it lookin better by now. if it still looks like that, i'm not getting it. if he's got it lookin better, but it runs worse than my car, i'm not gettin it.

[quote="KichouFumetsu"]yeah, i'm trading car for car. my 213,000 mile motor for his DOHC ZC with 89,000 miles on it. i just have to go to houston to pick it up. actually here,

dude that car was rebuilt before i bought i use to have reciepts but i think i threw them away!!! AND IF U R TAKING ABOUT A BLACK CRX OR PRIMERED ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, THA MOTOR IS CROOKED ????????? :roll:

[dsm_talon77901]

just sell me your Crx KichouFumetsu and you will have money for a swap :wink: -lol

ha ha ha.;..... well, if i had money for a swap, i wouldn't have a car to put it in...but thanks. yellowhatch, about how many miles are on the motor in the car that i have now? did they just rebuild the motor that's in there or is it another d16? either way, i'm gonna take a look at that crx, and have a friend take a look at it. if it looks good and runs good i may still get it. Jerimiah's gonna look over the engine and tell me if it's worth a shit or not. i still may have to take a trip to houston anyway to pick up this back bumper from this other guy, given that he pm's me before friday. but hey dsm, i'll sell you my crx, if you can find me another one. lol

[dsm_talon77901]

how much would you want for it and how much money do you have for a other crx.

whatever you give me for mine. i'd like to get 2k out of it, cause that's what i paid for it, but i can't go any lower than like 1600 for it

and i have to keep some stuff off of it. to personal to let someone else have.

[95civicgsr]

good luck you wont get that for it. sorry unless some newb buys it. and how can you tell if a motor is good by just looking at it? you need to do more than look at the motor. what exactly is he going to look at? i mean i look at a messed up motor in my garage everytime i go in there but that doesnt mean i know whats wrong with it. fuck it just get the car tj your not liistening to anything anyone is telling you g/l with your zc later

[thatboyvic]

yeah come look at the motor in my car....lol its so nice and clean ready for show....if you dont start it you will never know the valves are fucked.... ah thats reminds me... anyone got a ga16de lying around you wanna sell... :thumbs:

[95civicgsr]

take the dizzy off so he cant start it vic. j/k tj

you people are getting so damn defensive. FUCK. can you blame me if i want a faster car. chances are i'm not gonna get it, cause based on the pics of the car yall found, it looks like shit. as far as how jerimiah will look at it. i don't know how he's gonna look at it. just like i don't know how you'd look at it J. but just like i trust you to find something wrong with a motor i bring you, i trust him to do the same. and i wouldn't take either of you that long. i have all weekend to see if this car's worth it or not. if it's not. then you'll see me coming back home in my same little rex i've had since april. and i see that you're joking J. but i'm not getting the car if the dizzy's not on it, like he's supposed to be doing today or tomorrow. if i get there and he doesn't even have the dizzy. then i know something else is wrong with it, and he wants to cover it up. i tell him to kiss my ass, and i keep my car.

[thatboyvic]

put nos in your car :thumbs:

monay issues, Vic. it'll still take me a little while. plus, i don't think my motor now can handle it. if i keep this one, i still need a new clutch.

[95civicgsr]

test your current motor and you can fiiind n2o kits anywhere from 150 up. i think jinka paid 125 for his old one that he sprayed on the intercooler

edit :i own the 4th page

see, but none of yall said to do a leak down, or a compression. or to check the plugs. if yall had, i'd have asked how to do a leak down and if anyone had the tool to check the compression. it would be nice to be able to do that. i'm going to do everything i can to check out that car before i make any decision. i realize that i don't know a lot about cars, but i do know a couple people that do know a lot about hondas and that wouldn't let me get one that's gonna do me wrong. i'm taking your suggestions. but at the same time, i wanna give this guy the benifit of the doubt, so that maybe i can be trading my car(or my problem) for a better car. in the idea that i don't get the car. what is the absolute cheapest that you guys can find me either a zc swap or a B16a1 complete swap?

[95civicgsr]

why not ls? there are a few ls' running around here that have owned b16s and gsrs. ;)im not a big fan of the zc even considered getting one for my crx before i sold it but thought better of it. a b16 unless it is hot or messed up will cost you more than an ls swap.

[thatboyvic]

yeah get an ls. thats what i would do. but i would spray your motor. your engine now will only cost around 100 bux. man if you cant save 150-200 bux for a nitrous kit its time for a new profession. wait nevermind i still dont have a nitrous kit or a motor :cry: man with everything thats happend i aint even got money to pay my electric bill. i have no running car in my possesion, i am on foot, no money for anything. so i feel you. i hit rock bottom within 2 weeks. but just keep your head up and keep trying to get some cah together. look at it this way by the time you have the cash you should know what you want and how to do it right? while you are broke take all the time you can to research, teach yourself, learn all that good stuff. then when the money comes you are ready. but i am sure you can save man. i hate to say it but we had life insurance on my mother, and we are broke (i have 10 bux) till then. soon as the check comes in i will be on the road again, i cant wait to be on that road again..... nananan reading stories to my friends , oh i cant wait to be on that road again...haha

[95civicgsr]

thought you had the new motor already? hows the family vic?

[thatboyvic]

thought i had a new motor? i "HAD" the money to purchase it from a place in town. i had the money to paint it and everything. i just put new seats, new nismo steering wheel, new headliner, black carpet, sattelite radio, tinted the windows, everything. then i got that call man. everything went to shit from there. family is ok i guess. i mean my dad is trying to act like nothing happened. he just saying "when the insurance check comes in...." trying to act like all he is worried about is the money. but my dad is tough. i have never heard him say he was sorry, never sad, never cried, nothing. he dont show much emotions ever. besides the fact he must have drank 10 cups of coffee the morning of her death and finished a buttload of beer those couple of days he didnt say much. i got hit hard. it hurt like hell man. i went and saw her, when i got there she was in a body bag like thing, blood, and man i broke down like a baby. i must have gone crazy. it hurt bad man. i made her a song and will post it up. i played it at the rosary, everyone loved it. made the whole family cry. lol but i am dealing with it. just want to say spend as much time with your moms as possible jay. i didnt and i regret it. i should have been by her side when she needed me. but she isnt in pain anymore, she has been suffering and sick for too many years. they had amputated one of her legs already. ahhh i got to go

the reason i really don't want an ls is the same reason that i want the b16A1. i kinda want to stick with the stock engine that goes in a crx. if i get the b16A1, then i have a CRX SiR. i don't know. how much can i get a complete ls swap for? and J, how much will you charge to put it in?

[95civicgsr]

but you will still have a usdm crx lhd and all. dude its your money get what you think will make you happy and whenever your ready to try out an ls lmk i know a few people with them ;).

how much J? cause it shouldn't take more than a couple of months. i want to know prices, so that i know what to save up for. what all will i need for the swap?

[95civicgsr]

priices vary someettimes they are very cheap thers they are not ill post some links for u

that's cool, cause i really don't want to have to revert to ebay for buying an engine swap.

[95civicgsr]

there everywhere all you have to do is look

i'll look at them. are prices usually about like those prices?

[95civicgsr]

yeah a little more if it comes with mounts and shift linkage or anything else

what swaps are direct drop ins with my engine mounts?

[95civicgsr]

d series

so a zc motor or a normal d series motor is the only swaps i can do w/o having to get a mount kit? now much is the mount kit for a ls usually?

[dsm_talon77901]

around 400 and up i think

i know the DOHC ZC motor is a direct drop in, if i'm not mistaken, i'll prolly look for that.

[thatboyvic]

around 400 and up i think

:shock:

[95civicgsr]

good luck then.

when i get the money for the swap. J. how much you charge me to put it in? i don't have the tools for the job.

[thatboyvic]

its pretty easy. me and mike dropped one in by hand before without a hoist or anything. motor is pretty light. basic hand tools will get the job done. i suggest you go at it yourself just to learn, then call if you get in over your head.


nah you will probably need a compressor. old bolts and shit just always remember its a crx and the bolts probably have not been removed since it was made so expect the unexpected

i might try, but i don't have decent tools. all of my tools are POS. i'll have to have a friend lend me a set. but the DOHC ZC, i can use my same tranny and clutch right Vic?

[thatboyvic]

yes sir...

[thatboyvic]

i can get you a very nice one with 30k and a warranty for 700. unless you just want to try and locate a cheaper one which i am sure wont be hard

a ZC? cool, unfortunatley i don't have the money right now. is it from a business that like, always has them?

[thatboyvic]

yes.

cool, does it come with everything i need for the swap or do i need something else. if i do...what else do i need to start pricing?

finally, i own the damn page. YAH!!!

[thatboyvic]

comes with everything, except tranny and clutch. you will need to replace the clutch while you have it apart. well i would. and have the dizzy wired up.

cool. i need to replace the clutch anyway. and if it comes with the dizzy, that shouldn't be a problem. pm me where to get that motor, that way i have it, when i save up the cash.
