Re: (PnoyEj6)
WEll guys this is very sad story for me. I just bought this 96 ek silver hatch with 97 usdm gsr swap. Got compression done by mechanic 185 all four cylinders. Clean runs good. Until this Sunday,
My ek hatch is bone stock gsr motor with aem intake short ram, with obd 1 p72 chipped ecu. Im driving Sunday in the rain normally, all of sudden, my car shuts off. I was like what the expletive, The car started the bogging, I give it gas and it shuts off. I was able to restart but the car hesitates and dies again. So Monday, morning i barely drove it to shop to get it checked out. He diagnose and took my ecu, ecu was flooded with water, wtf???. Dizzy was fried. So he lets the ecu dry out in the sun, while i wait for the dizzy i ordered from New York. Im pretty pissed now since my car has been sitting in shop since MOnday morning. Finally got the dizzy in today, popped in car starts, but feels really slow, per Mechanic, noticeable loss in power. He test drives it back to shop and does compression test 1 and 2 cylinders are 125 compression wtf?? and the other 3 and 4 155. Mechanic calls me up and spread the bad news. I just bought this car with good gsr healthy motor and now i need rebuild. Here are pics of my ek hatch, which i was going to sell for good price, but decided to go na and rebuild the motor with itr pistons/itr valvetrain for daily driver. This really sucks, since it will cost me arm and leg. What do you guys think i should do rebuild?? or sell the whole car part it, i rather sell as whole for right price, has lots of goodies, but i love my ek hatch and rather keep it. Right now, hatch is sitting in shop, head is coming off tomorrow unless someone wants to take it away for good price. Does this make sense guys? My compression can drop significantly all of sudden and i dont even it rev it pass 6k since i own the hatch. Here are pics of it
My mechanic said he can do parts labor for around 2k with itr parts.
What would you honda guys do . Sorry about the grammar, im just down right now because i miss my hatch and may end up losing her,
I just dont understand how very little water can ruin my compression or could ever sneak in my engine and mess up the compression

Honestly, no one's going to buy a 96 EK for $4000 with a messed up motor, even if it is a GSR. It's pretty much a shell, and 96 EK's can be bought for $4000 or less and in good running condition.
Keep the car.
Keep the car.
