Stu Faulkner Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 As the title says, I'm after an engine(and gearbox) Pre 2006 with some where between 40-70k miles It will need the alternator, engine loom, mounts and starter. I dont need the ECU but if it comes with one then ok. I'm looking on Ebay and have a friend looking on scrapyard sites but if anyone knows of one, shout up. Stu
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 If going the factory ecu route, as you know, you need the engine loom, but I was recommended by Simon to just get the Honda ecu anyway. You also need the Lambda sensor (primary one, from exh. Manifold)
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 This was the place I was recommended, clicky and is where mine came from. He's a specialist Honda breaker, very helpful though. Got photos and video of engine running in the car before he pulled it for me.
Rednop1 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 You also need the Lambda sensor (primary one, from exh. Manifold) I didn't mine come from omex?
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 OK, just quoting Simon, when I asked the same question!
Rednop1 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 just be careful where you buy from there is a breakers in the Cannock area on ebay and how can I put it nice he's economical with the truth about the mileage I could see where he buys his cars from and somehow when he got the car it had lost 25k mile along the way ash
Rednop1 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 OK, just quoting Simon, when I asked the same question! I got it just incase dave when I got my engine .but got one with my ecu/loom kit
Stu Faulkner Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 This was the place I was recommended, clicky and is where mine came from. He's a specialist Honda breaker, very helpful though. Got photos and video of engine running in the car before he pulled it for me. They have got one on there website. 45k miles on an 04 for £2250 which isnt bad. (includes the service book) I've sent an email, just waiting for him to get back
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 The web site isn't always up to date. His ebay shop is normally current though.
Stu Faulkner Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 That one's sold but he's got my number.
Stu Faulkner Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 Just been offered everything i need inc the diff for £2.000 04 plate but it has 78000 miles. Are high milage engines a problem?
Speed Freak Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I was told by Raceenginedesign, that they had better numbers on the dyno from engines with over 100k! so Im sure youll be fine.
Stu Faulkner Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 If i was to get the prop shaft thrown in as part of the deal, how viable is it to getting it altered to suit?
KugaWestie Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 You can get a Prop shortened and balanced for about £80
Stu Faulkner Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 Cheaper than buying a new one then. any recommendations in the midlands area?
