My 95 Dx is consumes oil like its gas and i need a new motor. Money is kinda hard right now cuz i'm a college student and jes got married. So i need a good motor ASAP. I found someone that is selling a motor out of a 96 Ex Civic with about 58,000 miles. How does $300 for jes the motor sound? Originally he was selling the motor and tranny for $500, but i told him all i needed was the motor. Should i go for it. Besides the compression of the motor, what are other things i should check before i purchase it if i choose to do so.

 

sounds good.

 

For $300? Hell if you don't want it, I do!!

BTW, spend the extra $200 and get it w/ the tranny.. belive me the difference between the DX and EX trannies is LARGE

I notice you're in Carson. Call up K Watanabe in Torrance. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a better price for that motor.

 

I'm in torrance... do they have a website?

 

I worked at a dealership and usually local auto salvages charge rought around $800-$1100 for just a longblock. Usually we buy these motor for insurance flood cars.

So $300 is a great deal.

 

i say buy it and while you have it out do things like replace the clutch, get the flywheel lightened or buy a new one, and maybe if you want to get some heavy duty pistons and rods so you don't have to worry when it comes time to boost. turbopanda has a good set of rods and pistons rated to 1.2bar(around 17-18psi) and the set is only like $340 or something.

I would pick it up and you should get the tranny as well.

 

I will take the tranny if it has an s20 code on it!!!
200 shipped to a business?

IM me

 

you're going to have to convert your car to OBD2, or the engine to OBD1. 1996 was the year the Civics changed to OBD2- you'll have to get a conversion harness. I would wait and find a D16z6, you should be able to find one for around that price. I would sell mine for 300 bucks, but I'm in WA state

 

Hey, I know where he can find a D16Z6

 

How many miles on the D16? Not that it matters because 300 is a real good deal...

 

Good Cheap price, Buy It!

 

hey u need a new motor. my friend is selling his 94 civic si motor for sale. its a single cam vtec. ecu and everything. trying to get red of it cause its taking up space.

 

I am selling the stuff below

 

how many miles on the engine..?

 

 

if your worried about the engine do a carfax on the vin. that should give you some peice of mind so you know, some kind of history.

 

thats about how much they go for on average. thats usually the price i sell them at and i have no complaints, i guess it sounds pretty good, if you're still concerned then try to shop around a little more, but not too long or you'll miss out.

 

yeah i would be sure to have all parts though.

 

ob2-obd1 conversion isnt that hard...you'll have to cut n solder the wires of the fuel rail and mess with the distributor..but lik you said that money is tight so i would go for it...much cheaper than buying the converter..

 

miles lots. lots. but selling it for 250.local only, maybe in chicago. will add tranny for

i asked the dude selling it if i could get a compresson check. he agreed to it and said he would call me back the next day. it's been almost two weeks and he never called me back. i guess that motor was a piece of ****.
