I dont think there is any way to trace the motor to a spacific car. You can run the numbers on the block to see what motor it is, but not what the VIN number of the car it came out was, and thats what would tell you it was stolen, the VIN number. But I wouldent tell anyone you payed $500 for the whole set up, that just makes you look bad in most peoples eyes, no better than the real thief.

well the ecu is a P72, i thik its an obd2 not sure gotta looked online and it said it was a 1.8 non vtec ecu. which is ---- because i know the engine igot is a vtec b18c1 damm hondas r confusing, anyway i dont wanne got through the whole hydrolic conversion on a rex so im either gonna swap the tranny for a b18 nonvtec one and just hook it up or just build this engine up for race season and buy a civic coupe and make it a total sleeper. Kinkda gettting tierd of bein a rice man.

Can anyone give me good buildup tips for boost gonna run about 10 psi not even sure if i wanne get pistons and rods and ---- or just get zdyne and leave the internals stock. I just need an exhaust manafold and a bigger turbo and engine managent for the turbo kit. i got a t25 sittin around but its got sum shaft play. thanks guys for all the advice and crap

Actually they can trace motors to specific cars; the serial number on the motor and the VIN number on the car can be matched together. Thats how muscle cars can validate that they have the original engine. So if you get caught with a stolen engine, it will be confiscated, you might get arrested, and then go to jail. I wouldn't do it, even if it is an awesome deal.

---- that.. you wont get caught... think about it.. anyone EVER had their car inspected for a stolen engine

dont get a LS tranny.. get a Y1 or S1 JDM tranny.. better gears, when you shift you stay in vtec where as a LS tranny will drop you out of vtec.

jdm parts are hard to come by around here, wht is the y1? New to hondas, and i taked to this kid (damm redneck) who told me a gsr crx swap is impossibel. Said sometin bout hood clearance and the downpipe hittin bumps, said it was too tall, he said i needed shocks?? all i said was wht the ----, waz he just tryin to seem smart or is he for real, (anytingin is possibel but at how much?$$$$$$) i dot see why it just wont bolt up with a mount kit? and about te obdI-> obdII conversion i got a p7~ ecu which i had a frend look at and confirmed it was a gsr ecu and since i got a harness pice of cake, right?

First off that kid has smoked a little too much reefer - the HMT guys here have a B18 (non-vtec but still same block size) in thier CRX, and they would have more info on this than me, but it is possible to swap a GSR motor in there and for not a whole lot of money since you've got a bunch of stuff needed already.

Second, the Y1 is a JDM transmission. Type-R maybe? All I know is that it's a B-series tranny and has pretty close ratios and feels very nice going through the powerband (rode in a B16 CRX w/Y1).

I don't know much, but I do know that.......I think

I have it at a freinds house for now cause of my parent but probably gonna do the swap in a couple of weeks just reaserching crap i need. Just saw a mount kit in ebay or 150..."


they will seize your car. you know those drug seizure auctions they hold about every 2-3 months? you can go get your car back from there, if you get caught with a hot engine. no matter how dumb you play, youll still have a long as walk home, or a nice long stay in County... if your worried about it, get off the engine to your budy for $1500
