DC5S with 2.5l engine?

[Leslie]

just noticed this ad today:

http://www.carpoint.com.au/used-car/HONDA/INTEGRA/New%20South%20Wales/csn6400157.aspx?State=NSW

In the ad, it mentioned "Notice its rare 2.5 litre factory upgraded engine"

Now, I have search this forum, Honda's site, read the sales brouchure, wikipedia, but I couldn't find any mention of option to upgrade your engine by the "factory" (which I assume is the manufacture/dealer?) for the DC5 range.

is this guy on drugs? or just trying to sucker some noobs in?

I am not really familiar with the after market scene, is there such engines avialable from Mugen or some other manufacturer?

[d15z1SUX]

hrm hes on drugs i think...

[her0]

no engine bay pics :(

[wtfhax]

should lay off the crack methinks

[Prowl]

K24a stroked to 2.6l ? (Although there is nothing factory about that)

[[SDCTVE]]

i dont recall honda producing a 2.5l engine!!!
even if they did, they dont swap it around in cars like that!

the guy is on crack! its prob what the previous owner said to him!

[Leslie]

thx for replies, glad to hear I am not the noob :)

and just for shits and giggles, a while ago I saw an auto DC5 which was advertised as a Type-S, and comes complete with the Type-S badges too :)

I wonder if it is one of those car sales scams like they reported on Today Tonight recently. They get you to put your deposit down and then they disappear.

[timofytit]

If its real, i'd love to take it for a spin!!

[Euro08Jaz]

anyone try contacting him? but yea what a crackwhore.

[FASN8U]

yep hes on the pipe

[TypeS]

Hahaha 2.5L engine. I'm surprised he didn't top it off with a fully sick turbo and RWD!

Come to think of it, TODA do provide a 2.5l turbocharged engine for the dc5. But there's nothing factory about that!

[uniorj]

I like it how he says "Notice its rare 2.5 litre factory upgraded engine" like we are meant to assume it from the photos of the cars exterior.

Really? what is it based on? a K24?

[TypeS]

Yup one and only k24

[aaronng]

Yup one and only k24

That's 2.4L then. Not 2.5L. Is this your car?

[rbk_212]

That's 2.4L then. Not 2.5L. Is this your car?

is it possible that its bored slightly to increase it's capacity to 2.5L?

[aaronng]

is it possible that its bored slightly to increase it's capacity to 2.5L?

Then it is no longer a "factory upgraded" engine.

[TypeS]

no...

[rbk_212]

Then it is no longer a "factory upgraded" engine.

an engine from TODA isnt factory anyway, what im asking is, is the engine TODA offer a modified K24 thats been bored to 2.5L?

[TypeS]

You'll have to email Toda, they'll provide you with the full details.

[[SDCTVE]]

thats still not what it says in the add!.... "factory upgraded 2.5l engine"

[Elwood]

Maybe you should explain, champ..

[milkman]

It's running a dual carby.

[b18c7dc2]

[[SDCTVE]]

Maybe you should explain, champ..


are you talking to me?

[Elwood]

;1994062']are you talking to me?

If you are selling a Type S with a supposed 2.5 litre engine that is "factory", and this guy is obviously interested/curious, maybe you should explain?

..or not.

[FASN8U]

this thread sucks.

[onlykillzz]

wow that's really sad wouldn't mind getting an engine pic or even an engine number will do

[simonnowis]

prob a scam..like the carby integra, which was advertised as a 99 model.

I just checked that ad again, and looks like that bit about the factory 2.5L engine is gone.

did someone here called him and set him straight? :p

maybe he is a member on ozhonda and he saw this thread? :cool:

[uniorj]

I'm pretty sure people would have asked about it.
Stating the car has a 2.5L factory engine provides us with enough information that he doesn't know anything about Hondas leading to my assumption that he isn't on ozhonda lol.
