Ebay guy to not buy from....

carlitosz real name Carlos A. Mora. this guy has a TSX engine for sale on ebay says he has 50 or so of them. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW All I did was email him about his odd power figures on his page. Actually said I was trying to help him. He emails me back telling me that I have no idea what im talkin about and asked me if I had ever seen a TSX dyno. He had a dyno posted but now it is gone after a few emails back and forth. It had no vtec dip what so ever and he said it was because the engine is tuned. Said the car has 180 tq....wow I have never see one with that high TQ. Anyway he is a complete ass and I can't beleive this guy was using a fake dyno to try and sell his engines. Along with stating that they are tuned. with 200 hp and 180 tq.. where the hell did he get that combo if your gonna lie at least come up with something close to the actual specs from Acura....This guy has me pissed.

I think jtso talked to him on H-T. I believe his dyno would be from an engine swap, so a RSX-S head and ECU, which w/ a K-Pro could possibly be tuned differently. But yeah, sellers should have a better attitude if they want to make money.

here I will post the email text what i sent him through ebay


Dear carlitosz,

Not to be an ass but they dyno sheet you have posted doesn't belong to a TSX. there is no vtec dip/switchover and the curve is way off. And you state that the TSX has 180 lbft of tq. Thats also wrong. Just trying to help you out. False advertisement is not a good thing.

what he replied
I can see how much you know about cars and specially the TSX.

Thank you for your comments,
Carlos.

me again



No problem just tryin to help you out.


him



Help me out how? Have you seen any dynos of TSXs? Where you present at this particular dyno? Have you call the number of the shop and confirm?
Have you even look at an TSX dyno?

That a car has no VTEC dip means that the car is TUNED.

Carlos.


me again



Actually you are emailing the guy with the highest recorded dyno on a dynojet for the TSX. You are an idiot. even HONDATA's TSX doesn't make as much power as my TSX does. The only thing is they have a better power curve. No matter what you do with a Vtec engine there will be a vtec dip. You have no idea who you are talking to. Get your facts right. Go look at some dyno's. I would send you mine but you would probably try and use it to sell your engines. Fucking dumbass. Get your facts right. (during this email I was getting pissed off. And yes people Hondata does have a better power curve I just have more peak. Don't trip)


him again


And with all that "knowledge" you still don't know that Acura underated the TSX engine tq.? BS.
Keep dreaming kid. Let's see the Dyno.

Carlos.



I'll skip all the trash talking and get to this.....

him

Doug is going to be tuning my K24A2 with some ITBs. Maybe he will lie about that dyno as well.


the thing I was arguing is that he said that he was selling a stock engine. Making 180 tq. with a 7500 red line. and look at the dyno sheet he posted not even close. Then he says the engine is tuned. Then later says that the reason the numbers are different is that is under rated by honda. Then says Doug is gonna tune his k24a2 with Individual throttle bodies. He cant unless he uses a RSX type S Kpro and that means getting rid of DBW. I hate it when I get lied too over and over. He just didn't get that I was talkin about a stock engine that he advertised. How did it go from stock to tuned to under rated. And goes on to talk about getting his motor tuned by doug with Individual throttle bodies. Just doesnt make sense. He has me heated.

ohh now he sends me this...........

Oh, now I get you. I put the dyno to show what this engine is capable of. This dyno IS NOT from a stock TSX. Lol never.
The engine has a short ram, race headers, prototype intake manifold, exhaust and k-pro. 215whp is realistic compared to 200whp that hondata obtained on a dynapack recently with just intake and headers. Take a look: http://www.hondata.com/reflash_tsx.html

Carlos.

Stoke, sounds like that guy needs to pack up his leaf blower and head back down to Guatemala. He might have more luck down there trying to save face without eating too much of his own arse.

Yeah, that's the guy who didn't ship my ECU after I paid for it. He didn't return email or pm. I had to file a compliant with paypal to get my money back. It looks like some other people are having problems with him as well. http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1142823

What a loser!

They are actually several.
Out of the 25 engines that I've sold some have reported incredible numbers one as high as 223whp and 170wtq with basic I/RH/E/Kpro. Usually between 210Whp - 225Whp.
My setup consist of Hytech Race Headers, Hytech Exhaust, Hytech IM, Injen CAI, and K-Pro I should be looking for around 220Whp-230Whp. I`ll be also testing some ITBs.

Hondata just got 200Whp in a Dynapack with just Intake and Headers.

Btq, Hytech K24A2 is pushing 280Whp

Carlos.


hahaha look at this...
