**prime1429** · August 16th, 2009 10:47 AM

pls help me, im planning to buy a 2nd hand car, actually it's gonna be my first car.. i have a prospect Honda esi 95 mdl * P170k, kya lang nag change engine na cya, from stock engine then upgrade na cya sa vtec engine. My uncle told me na hindi na ok un kasi nag change engine na cya, worried lang ako kasi baka in the long run eh chaka ako mag karoon ng problem as engine kasi hindi un ung stock nya... i admit i have non knowledge when it come to car parts most especially engine... I need your opinion if it's ok with me to buy the esi (ang gwapo din kasi nun auto eh). thanks...

Sir,

There is nothing bad in changing engines maybe the owner wants a more powerful engine or the old engine is busted..in my opinion.But you have to consider checking twice or thrice all possible faults the car may get into,if your going to buy this car,better to have a trustworthy and expert mechanic beside you when checking after all these second hand cars have their flaws because of their deteriorating age.

Don't be fooled by the exterior looks,madali yan,check mo yung mga pang loob specially engine and tranny

I for one drive an eg sedan (esi) which has undergone an engine swap prior to my acquisition..

It runs on jdm d15b...

As per comparison (on paper and test drives), mas powerful and fuel-efficient and d15b compared to whatever stock (ph16, ph15) engine the esi has...

1. Are you sure it's an esi? Baka naman lx or dx?
2. Regardless of whatever stock engine it may have, the current vtec engine should be much powerful and economical.
3. Ano daw ba yung engine? d15b? d15b (3 stage)? d16a? b16a? d16zc? ... and yung source: from stock vti? from japan surplus?

The esi is a nice car, very dependable at maporma.. Are you getting the rest as stock except the engine?

up^^

Make sure indicated na sa or/cr yung new engine niya. hence, it should not be ph16 on paper...

bro, 1995 din yun sakin. malapit na bumigay yung compressor ko. pacheck mo maige sa mekaniko tapos pag mukhang bibigay na din, tawaran mo ng husto pambili ng replacement. mga nsa 13k yata brand new nun na original eh...
