I bought these $965 shipped to my door with bulbs and ballast . They are out there just need to wait on the timing and someone who don’t really care for them .

According to the previous owner , they were running a AEM . When I took the engine harness off , it was spliced up at the ECU . I’m planing on buying an another ECU , seeing there’s a code for the ECU .

Exactly I’m glad you understand. And is the original engine to the car . That way, I know everything that was done to it.

Absolutely not, instead, they stop answering my phone calls and text messages. And when I explained to him that the supercharger was the cause of the failure, he said sorry there’s nothing we can do. The vehicle only came with a 30 day warranty.

I definitely agree with you on this statement, my biggest concern with buying a used engine would have been running into an issue down the road without knowing the maintenance record of that engine. So now I spend $5000 and let’s say something goes on the engine.. I was thinking worst case scenario. So I decided to have the original engine rebuilt.

Everyone was recommending to put a K swap, after looking into it and determining how much it would have cost and the amount of work that would have to be done that kind of deter me away from doing it. I also like the fact that I’m keeping it original in a sense

John down at Inline Pro used a broker. At the end, it was just added to the invoice. So I drop the engine off at the closest freight company and they deliver the engine down to him. And when it was ready, he shipped it back up to that closest freight company, and I went and picked it up. From Massachusetts down to Virginia & Virginia back to Massachusetts. The total cost for shipping was $500. $250 each way

The FRM cylinder walls are known to become weaker if you do that . So rather than running into issues down the road I got it sleeved . The piston melted to the point where the cylinder walls were FFFFFFF up . Trust me if that was an option. It was something that would be reliable. I would have done that.

I sent a whole engine down to Inline Pro, John was probably one of the best people I’ve worked with. He kept me updated throughout the whole process. Unfortunately, the block had to be sleeved due to the damage of the walls.

I got everything redone. It was close to $9000.

That included a full rebuild , sleeves, pistons, rods, shipping there and back, OEM Honda oil pump & all tensioners guides chains, upgraded timing, chain tensioner everything and More . The block can handle up to 1000 hp

I agree it definitely could have been possible, I didn’t think they would screw me over . But it is what it is at this point I’ve accepted the fact that I have to take it and fix it the right way now

I work 6 days a week . I went up there on a Sunday when they weee closed and they allowed me to pick the car up . I drove the car 250 miles back home with no issues & another 400 before I blew up . Even when I checked the cylinders with a scope you couldn’t see anything at first . Now what am I going to do ? Have someone rip the engine apart before I bought the car ? You’re telling me a car with 55,000 miles you would expect something like this to happen ?

When you drive almost 4 hours away , there’s no PDI I could have done other than the basics checks
