I was wondering if it's fine to buy a car that use to have turbo installed. Will there be anything wrong with the engine/tranny? I need all the info...

thx...

 

bring a mechanic to peep it out

 

Yeah all depends on the driver

 

Yeah, depends on if the driver beat on it or not..but the only thing I would beware of is he changed out the ECU back to a stock one...or else the advanced fuel maps will own u O.o

 

Yeah he might of been stupid and set vtec at 2500 rpms... What I honestly do is take it to a mech that knows a bit about hondas and have them take a look at it.

 

At least do a comp. test, if not a leak down test to see what kind of condition the engine is in. A good hard test drive should tell you if the tranny is grinding or has any problems, noise, etc.

 

If it was tuned and he wasn't stupid with it,

basically, if you get it cheap enough to replace an engine or tranny in the near future and it would still be worth it, then buy it

 

okay...thanks for the help

 

think of it like this, anyone who slaps a turbo onto a econ box ISNT doing it to improve gas mileage
