since there is a possibility that honda wont be covering me, i'll probably be claiming this on my insurance (provided they allow me to). out of curiousity, what is the price of a new k20z3? i tried searching but didnt find anything. lemme know

 

Somewhere in the ballpark for 4-5 grand? I'm fairly sure I've read somewhere that it's about 4.5k, so I'm gonna go with that ballpark estimate

I believe that's just for the block as my friend purchased a brand new B18c5 block for 4800 from Acura.

 

damn wtf happened?

 

There was a major problem that occured between the seat and steering wheel. I remember seeing another member on here that had the same problem and warantee covered it.

 

the warranty covered it?!?!? do u remember who it was so i can contact him asap?

here is what i say to the dealer...
"i was on my way home last night and some ******* pulled in front of me on the interstate and i hit the brakes and was attempting to drop into 4th so i didnt slam into the back of this suv and i accidentally threw it into 2nd. needless to say i slowed down enough to avoid an accident, but this happened."

what ya think? sound professional enough?

 

Sounds plausible enough.

That guy in reference didn't actually blow a hole in his engine like you did. I beleive he begged and cried enough (and he was honest up front) that they decided to fix the problem under warranty. THey didn't, however, drop a brand new motor in his car.

I think that, no matter what you may say, the dealer will not cover it man; The dealer ship will say something like "there is no mechanical problems that caused your engine mess up" something gay like. But then again i dont know either. I'm sorry but sometimes you got be realistic with things like this. I think you have better luck with the insurance agent. DEALERSHIP FTL!

I hope you get lucky and get your ride fixed ASAP!

1680.13 block ... 1680.13 head

good luck when my a2 went they covered me the first time even though they saw it hit 9191rpm

 

The hard part would be finding one.

 

How fast were you going on the interstate when the "SUV" pulled in front of you?

The Dealership is going to take a look at your ecu and they WILL find out what happened. Don't lie to them, it wont help you. They will not cover it, but they may be willing to work with you on a price of a new motor and installation. Insurance will cover it as long as you admit to driver error. I was talking to a service manager about this last week. He told me about a guy that did the same thing and tried to lie to the dealership about it. The dealership hooked up to his ecu and was able to see what happened very easily, so they weren't going to cover it. He told insurance that it was a mechanical error, so they told him they wouldn't cover it because the dealer should. He lied his way into a hole that he couldn't dig out of. The manager told me the cost of a new motor installed was going to be close to 8.5K-9K.

He's got plenty of money and wanted everything to be legit down to very VIN #.

Not too bad in damages, hope the majority of the internals can be swapped over.

 

1 12100-P73-J00 CYLINDER HEAD ASSY. 1 2001 INTEGRA 1791.99 1433.59

1 11000-P72-811 BLOCK ASSY., CYLINDER (DOT) 1 2001 INTEGRA 2446.62 1957.30

that looks more like $3400 to me for a b18c5 block and head

i didnt lie to the dealer. i told them it was dirver error. i have been up for 3 hours biting my nails waiting to hear the phone ring and find out what is going on. i have ot be at work in 2 hours and i need ot know what the hell is going on. i dont know how long it takes to pop my hood and make a decision. if they arent going to cover it then i need to get ahold of my insurance company. i have no idea what is goign on. keep u guys posted

 

I knew there had to be some reason why those numbers looked high.. sorry for hi-jacking the thread OP.

hope you hear something soon. glad you told them what happened instead of letting them find out on their own.

Oops thread accidentally deleted.

The car be found on MOBWOrks.com the swap was done a long time ago. The motor bought back then was when B series was way overpriced, can't compare prices back then to prices now. Not the same comparo. Heres a pic of the car. Everything on it was Mugen, car was repainted a few times. It was sold a long time ago as well. Ring in if you see your car Chad.

 

i would of told the story u said......
theyll check the ecu..... and what? find out you did infact put it in 2nd and blow your engine. than i would talk with the parts guy for an extra hour, crack a few jokes with him, reason with him, give him a story or two why u need the car so bad. pray.

thats what i would of did. im pretty good with **** like that too.......

 

i hope they fix it under warenty

 

me too. good luck dude.
the reality of this is....... there not supposed to. but the fact is, that doesn't mean they cant. feel me? hope your a smooth talker. i would be 70% confident i could convince them if this was my situation.

its all up to the dealer ... like I said in my last post when my k20a2 went in my old Type S they could see it was over-reved but covered it under goodwill anyways ..and told me if it happened again I was up the creek .. but then again I didnt tell them it was driver error I said I was driving briskfully and it just died lol
