Default Type R crx problem

I have a problem my friend has a crx type r he called me and told me if i wanted the car i said yea ill buy it of you so he sold it to me for 1500 he only drove it 4 times well he wired every thing up and got the obd0 tp obd 2 converstion but it has a little bog to it and vtec kicks in around 6200 RPM its quick even though it has a bog to it but i was wondering has anyone had that problem With there crx-R

ok, lets get this straight. he has a crx which he dropped a 5000 dollar motor in. sounds like he did a b18c5 swap, so that makes the car a swapped crx, not a crx-r

it seems to me like there's more than meets the eye. i dont get why he would drop 5000 in a motor and then sell the car for 1500. that seems like quite a loss for only driving the car 4 times. if it really is a type-r swap, he could've pulled the swap and sold it for twice what he sold the whole car for, just doesnt make sense to me. either the seller was REALLY stupid, or the buyer got hosed on a bad swap.
