I'd ask for a pic of the "C5" on the block.
Seeing how it's GS-R for everything else, it couls actually just be a C1 with a red VC and ITR intake.

They do indeed, but I doubt thats what he meant. SK2 Intake manifolds say Skunk2 very clearly on the top. The one pictured in the ad is definately just a plain old ITR manifold.

also, maybe he didnt mean that. but oh well. hopefully if the op does purchase this motor, he doesnt get screwed over on it , because there are alot of dishonest people on the web selling parts that are not as described.

After doing a little digging around it would seem that you are infact correct. Found a pic of one for sale and it does look pretty much identical to a real ITR IM. All i've ever seen before were the newer versions that say Skunk2 on the top of them, I never even knew there was an older version. Good info.

well that's a b18c5 engine alright. Being that its being more difficult to find a usdm b18c5 engine without any mods.. and even more rare to find one in a whole piece including the original transmission without any mods. But for that price its an okay deal. He is also including other parts like dual radiator and stuff like that so lets see how far he can go.

Like I said before the price really isnt the issue so much as the questionable condition of the motor...C5 stamp or not...why would someone want to sell a perfectly running C5 swap for so little?

It's just an ITR longblock apparently.
The tranny is from a GS-R.
And yes I was talking about the ITR rep that looks exactly like an OEM ITR intake.

Re: Is this a good deal for $2800?
idk even if it is an oil burner, generally isn't it a good idea to replace the usual gaskets and belts and what not as a safety precaution? IMO it would be worth the peace of mind to buy a swap and have it looked over and if needed re ringed, just so it is more reliable. that and check the head for warpage. i know it seems kind of over excessive, but who wants to swap a motor into their car (unless it was running perfectly when pulled and the purchaser visually saw it) if they don't know forsure that everything is good on it?
just some food for thought

i disagree.. id just by the whole car with that swap for less than that price.. that is exactly what i did if that matters.. I'm just going to swap my d16 into that car and use it as my winter car as my car is rust free, vise versa... It all depends on what you want to do or what you can do..
