Default Looks a little fishy to me

Cursing ebay i see this....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura...Q5fAccessories

guy says its a GSR..
1. Thats not a GSR intake manifold, correct?
2. Why is he worried about the upper radiator hose, oil pan etc if he is selling the supercharger?

Just seems iffy to me...

Could be a aftermarket intake manifold or a custom one, just my opinion

you can verify that's a GSR head by the coolant neck on the FRONT of the head(well more towards the front than a b16)

Your assumption is correct. The head in the picturethat is in the link you posted is not a gsr head. It isa b16 head. the upper radiator hose entry/coolant neck i slanted foward as i circled in the pic shows its a b16 head.
B16

i own a gsr and had a few pics on my phone and took a look to confirm and the gsr upper radiator hose entry/coolant neck come straight out to the side as i circled in the pic below of my gsr.
GSR


anyoneplease correct me if i am incorrect.

it's probably stolen, and the thief knows nothing about it

Just a thought but.. could it be a b17 gsr? I agree with whoever posted that pic of their own b18c gsr.. that coolant neck looked fishy the moment i saw it. GL with everything.

without more info i wouldnt touch it. and if the supercharger is blown, it costs over 2k from Vortech to rebuild it and they are the only ones that have the rebuild kits.
