**SOLD**

Alrighty Ladies & Gents, read carefully. I want this car to go to a good home & to someone who will appreciate the work that's been done. I have thousands of dollars of receipts, especially concerning the motor & transmission build. Everything has been done right. I'm very meticulous about maintenance. If a part needs to be replaced, only OEM Honda parts are used. I have a thick folder of receipts from the prior owner of basic maintence dating back to when the car was new who like me, was **** about his cars. The car is rare & came with the original B16 powerplant.

Motor & Transmission have been glassedbeaded & cleaned during rebuild. Everything new...OEM gaskets, seals, bearings etc. I don't skimp out. I believe in doing things the right way. Motor has less than 5k on it. Installed this past November. I have close to 400 pictures of the build on CD. Changed the oil atleast 5 times since break in using only OEM Honda oil filters & the motor only has around 5k on it. Mobil 1 synthetic since break in.
Will last for a long time & take a ton of abuse. 255 psi across the board.
Built to be very resistant to detonation.

Tuned at DSG in Norwood & was told it was the highest outputting all motor Honda they've tuned yet. This was in July & one of the hottest/humid damn days this year & it's only running ITR cams. Not only that it was a conservative tune for reliability & didn't even touch the cam gears. It's begging for cams. I only live 5 mins from my job & barely drive it.

Anyhow, the car is pretty clean in & out. Looks oem & is pretty much untouched. Factory Milano red paint, slightly fading. All it needs is a fresh paint job to be perfect. I'm sure I missed some things in this long ad. I try to be as descriptive as possible. I'm a very honest & up front guy.
It has a clean title.

Lastly, I have the original B16A3 that came out of the car. Ran excellent, did not use one bit of oil. I was going to build it for boost down the line but will include it with the car for a very cheap price if interested. Will not part with the motor unless the car is sold without it so please do not ask.

PS. Car will come with 2 sets of rims. 4 steelies with new tires & 4 Integra spider rims w/ tires.

bump for u man!~~

 

Thanks Puff

 

That thing has got to be pretty fun to drive I would imagine. What type of power is it putting out? Just time to move on for ya?

 

Honestly man I'm just testing the waters & in no way in a hurry to sell. I'm starting to miss my old hatchback & comtemplating trading shells. Another part of me is growing up. There's a lot of things going thru my head lol.

Far as power is concerned, well I have to explain this one. I've yet to have it dyno'd on a dynojet & see the numbers everyone's used to. Basically DSG (http://www.dentsport.com/) who are more into rally/roadcourse type of racing has a Dyno Dynamics AWD Dynamometer, geared more for the AWD evo's, suby's & so on but can be used for 2wd. I was warned before hand, not to get caught up in inflated numbers & that this dyno reads very low & is a heart breaker.
To get a perspective, Matt K. the tuner said a WRX STI that we all know is rated 300hp at the fly, puts down around 200whp there. A stock GSR he said something ridculous like 120whp or 90, I can't recall exactly. My car put down 175whp. Power didn't start peaking till after 8200-8300rpms with ITR cams, so red line pushed back to around 9k. That was with a ton of heat soak, on a hot humid day from hell. The original radiator had it which is why I got the koyo. Not to mention, it was not tuned in anyway for peak power, rather reliability. I estimate 200whp or more on a regular dynojet. Everyone was really impressed with the motor & Matt expects a good 30whp gain with cams. Gotta give it to Belben.

I was thinking about some day in the near future whoring it up & be a dyno queen by finding a dynojet to see what it does.

Thats a nice motor...Belben you do amazing work

 

w3rd

 

Damn nice.

In regards to the trades, I know no VX came with a factory moonroof, and I'm pretty sure the same with the CX

GL selling this. Sweet ride.

 

I thought so too until I saw one a few weeks ago locally being sold on craigslist. Apparently some did have them as an option but it wasn't powered, it had a manual crank. Maybe it was from Canada, who knows.
I regret not getting it.

 

Go Sox!

 

BUMP for the ALCS...woot!

 

hey chris, what would you charge me to tune keiths motor for me on your dyno? just for ***** n giggles. this is the most detail ive ever put into a motor, wanna know what the extras were worth in power over a typical 1.8L with ITR pistons/cams

 

Oooo...I'm game.

What was changed since it was tuned by Matt? Would you want Crome still or to switch to eCtune or another EMS?

Mike give me a call or have your customer here give me a call and we can work something out I'm sure.

 

I don't know what you mean exactly by what was changed. Mechanically, nothing.
Right before tuning, the rc 370cc's we're installed & Matt uploaded a map to the p30 base to regulate them.
The motor is still the same as when I got it from Mike. Never touched the cam gears & the only difference from now till then is the radiator. It was tuned using chrome & don't know the benefits if any of using another program.

 

Different features, better overall timing control...FREE datalogger version for people who have been tuned...

This is with eCtune.

Keith give me a call...we'll set something up
