i wasnt even trying to win....but i did...what would i need to put it in my 05?....if its too much work ill probaly sell....but i like it

 

You didn't buy the engine, you bought the transmission.

 

I was just reading that 2. Its just the transmission. "FOR SALE TRANSMISSION ONLY, NO COMPONETS OR WIRE HARNES"

 

wrong link sorry

damn..i wouldnt know where to start.

 

I would imagine a shop would charge you somewhere in the range of 1000 to 1500 to install. I'm guessing totally here based on a friend of mine needing to have his civic engine replaced in highschool.

Either way, pretty good deal...and you can probably offset the cost by selling your engine afterward. Just know you're getting into serious stuff and you will more than likely be more "married" to the car because the engine won't match the vins on anything else etc...just my opinion but not sure how that will affect resale. I personally, wouldn't touch it.

 

hmmm dats gonna b a nice project my friend... good price but its gonna b a long one

 

this was my 1st car...ima keep it forever...its paid in full...so dat wont be a issue...plus its salvaged since my accident.....but the outside looks 100% like a type-s .....i did everything over...so why not the inside...ill take pics to show u guys its like brand new...i even changed the liecene plate lamp so i can get the chrome as the front grille...only i know not a type-s....all i need it the engine and the steering wheel to complet
e

 

I'm assuming its a short block only. If thats the case buy some heads, a type-S tranny and ECU and a really good mechanic

 

put it in a integra

 

YOU SOB! You outbid me. I was winning that for the longest time, i put in a bid of $700 on it, but my phone didnt send it through in time. If you want to sell it let me know i will gladly take it off your hands!

 

dude! thats cheap. no fair!

 

lol ill think about it man...gemme a few days....i was looking at it for days thinking to get it or not

 

so you bought a motor not knowing what you wanna do with it only because it was cheap? and trying to turn ur car into a type s? do u know if it runs? do u know if the block isnt damaged from the crash? and like Ussi said...if its only the short block, you'd need heads, and tranny, if thats the case...a brand new internally assembled short block from the dealer is 1100-1200, and you dont pay for shipping, u pick it up at the dealer...this is running u about 1 grand.

you can't just throw a type S ECM into ur 05, ECM harness is different. I dont mean to discourage you or make u regret the buy, as im sure someone would take that off ur hands even if it doesnt run, but just saying. my experience tells me...the money ur spending on trying to rig a type s inside that shell, needing a new tranny, ECM, harnesses and the whole 9... the turbo would cost you less,
What rockstar143 said on the vins not matching...well if ur keeping the car...who gives a shit...even if u dont...someone will take it..
I have an 06 3.2 inside an 04 shell, some wanna buy it! but i aint selling.
either way, goodluck

 

if its do able im gona do if not ill just let it go

 

why do you assume its the short block only?

unless i missed it somewhere, looks to me its the whole long block, which usually come with the coilpacks, injectors, etc,... why would anybody take off the heads and sell just the short block with only 4k on the motor??

 

+2

 

I spoke with the seller on the phone, becuase i too was trying to get the motor. It is an almost complete longblock. Full motor, just no accessories. From the oilpan to the top of the intake manifold everything is there. No coilpacks, injectors, or wireharness was included. He told me he would included the type s precats for an extra $70 each. Please sell to me dave, you will not regret it.

 

i spoke to him too and he gave me the same details

 

wow that's pretty cheap!

 

That's where I was with this.


Dave - good luck with your newfound project!

 

Opel...c'mon...NOBODY wants your 04 with an 06 motor...I mean, it's missing the slave cylinder checkvalve for goodness sakes!

I guess I didn't realize there was such a market for motor swappage. Maybe cause it intimidates me it's just never been an option. To the OP...good luck man! I'm sure it'll be a crazy project with much reward.

 

cant see the link from work. but i would take the internals and put them into your 3.2 get a greddy emanage and tune it.

call it a day.

if ur trying to go type-s you shouldve done your research.

type-s has a diff tranny, ecm, wiring harness, and other small bits

 

i know about that and im trying to get it...im gona make a checklist b4 i start...dose anyone know if theres...anything else i need?

 

yes get an integra shell

 

Maybe should have bought a type-s and swapped the exterior over to make it look like a base? May have been easier, and maybe less expensive.

 

or an eg shell those r sexii
