you dont know what any of it means?

its not by any chance a white civic hatch fir sale in bris?

[Temp3st]

WEll yeah ok i know what a bit of it means like the wheels and the lips n shit but the ecu and extractor dont mean alot to me and yeah its that civic why?

[CRXDEL501]

just coz ive seen it thats all. lol
extractors they are 4-2-1... so 4 from the engine, into 2 into 1 which is pretty self explanatory. they are basically one of the first mods you would do.. depending on brand its hard to say the quality, but would just help a bit performance wise. it will feel a bit more responsive and alot better in the mid to high rev range.
the skunk2 chipped ecu may be a cheap ecu off ebay, which are basically a load of sh*t, which basically f**k the engine. so just ask about it.
if it is the genuine skunk2 ecu which is fully programmable basically all it does is alters the fuel and timing maps for various engine combinations utilizing the mods on the car.
im new to this all so im learning myself so im sure someone else will fix me if im wrong

[Temp3st]

Heh well its a start thanks for that man i appreciate it. Does any of that mean i cant drive it because im a p plater?

[Temp3st]

Update according to the dude selling it its got pod exhaust ecu chip and headers.

[CRXDEL501]

all that is still fine for a p plater! wont have any issues.
well there wont be much else you will have to do.
intake/headers/exhaust are the first mods most ppl usually do.
i had a b16 and it went well, had pretty much the same set up, apart from the ecu.
jap spec is a bitt of a bonus.
for a p plater, i think its good. get it checked and good luck with the buy.

[Temp3st]

Omfg so its good for a p plater? Shit yeah! Thanks for all the help man :D

[DvSnGuYeN]

It's P plater legal as it's not turbo... as CRXDEL501 said, the ecu "alters the fuel and timing maps for various engine combinations utilizing the mods on the car"... aftermarket headers makes the car more responsive... meugen lip alone gives about 5kw... LoL...

Everything seems pretty decent, only thing you need to find out where the engine swap was done and if it was by someone who knew what they were doing... some guy's might do a dogdy in the backyard and not hook everything up properly...

[CRXDEL501]

yeah id get that checked.
he has a gold eg up there for sale as well thats got a b18 in it, and ivan at high power did that one, so yeah just ask about it.

no prob! glad to help out a bit.

+1 rep?? :D

[Temp3st]

Yeah im talking to him now he's selling the b18 as well but i havent got that much money lol and yeah i have no idea who ivan at high power is as i live in Hervey Bay which is too far away lol >< Thanks again everyone :D

[CRXDEL501]

they are a trader on here.
good luck with it all champ

[Temp3st]

Hmmm yeah that would be interesting to find out really because yeah like i said im pretty new but i love civics ive wanted one for about 2 and a half years now but never had the money or opportunity to, so yeah lets hope it works out.

EDIT: Anyone know how i can get in touch with Ivan?

[CRXDEL501]

ivan probably didnt do the install on the white civic, i just know he did the gold one. or thats what the guy told me when i spoke to him last.

just give high power racing a call in the white pages.

[Temp3st]

Yeah ill just get all the details off the seller but atm its looking pretty good i cant wait im so excited :D.

[Temp3st]

Righto quick update guys once ive taken the car for a test drive and put down my deposit he'll put the backseat in get the speedo rewired and get the RWC done then im buying it. Thanks to all those who offered help its much appreciated :D.

[hywindz]

Just a question, I'm on P plates in QLD too and thought that you weren't allowed cars with modified engines, i.e transplants?

[rebound]

engine transplants are fine as long as the change in displacement isn't over 15&#37; the capacity of the original engine.

So a 1.6L into a GLi is fine

[JDMWhore]

EP3 TypeR Rear Lip


Didn't know you could fit those on an EG?
