Well, I went to Inline (my 2nd home ) to talk with John about what he would suggest for my budget and goal. I asked if he could purchase motors, so I would know it was legit and in good condition. He said he had one on order, but the buy flaked. He said I could have 3 month to pay it off, and thats its mine. So I put $500 down today on a.....


2000 Integra Type R motor. Complete swap...axles,ecu,tranny, etc
15k on the motor. Everything is included.

He said he would give me the motor, and install it for 4.5k.

So I take my car in on the 3rd of Jan for the install. I should have it purchase fully by then. He said he would give me a nice discount of I bought one of their turbo kits now, but I'm going to wait till summer...the car needs some attention in other places as well.

I'm soo excited :naughty: :thumbup:

I'll def. take some pics of the install :naughty:

 

not a bad price for a 00 c5 motor,..congrats :thumbup:

 

Thanks...it should be better than my D16, right?

 

the D16 can never loose

 

your going to turbo an ITR motor?

 

Wharbone: You said it!

 

nooooooo,...imo a c5 motor is a motor built for N/A ,...should have went with a c1 to boost

 

I agree. Go for a bad ass N/A totally built ITR motor.

 

John at Inline said the C5 was fine for boost....he said it was better than a C1. He had lots of convensing reasons.

We'll see....I'm gonna have the motor a couple months before I purchase a turbo kit, so I could decide to stick with N/A :shrug:

 

Better lower that compression ratio. Other than that, how is a C1 better for boost than a C5?
