2001 2.5rs Coupe BRP 174k v5 ej207 swap forsale

As stated I am selling my 2001 2.5rs coupe with ej207 swap.
I am selling this because its time for me to pas this vehicle along to someone who has a little more time to make a few repairs and enjoy this little car. To get the bad out of the way right away, the motor has been using oil, just had the valve train done with Brian Crower valves last fall so I would suspect the issue is possibly the rings or a cracked piston. That states someone needs to put a little work into figuring out the oil consumption problem and after that its good to go!! now for all the details on the car itself. Chassis has 174k on it.

Engine:
-version 5 ej207 (bottom end rebuilt with new version 6 crank and tomei rods. about 35k on the bottom end since the rebuild. Bottom end has about 105k on it. All internal motor work has been done by Mike Wray for those of you who know him. Did a great job and know his way around JDM engines. He also used coated race bearings of some sort on the bottom end. Still running the stock forged pistons, looked in good shape at rebuild just had fresh rings put on then. Heads where gone over last fall. all new Brian Crower valves installed seats ground and lash adjusted, valve guides and seales checked and inspected at that time. Heads have 15k on them since rebuild.

yes yes i know this is a crappy pic, gives you an idea of the gauge placement

 

you selling this makes me sad, having a busted project of my own and no cash to buy this makes me even more sad.

this is a super clean car, and matt is a good dude, I'd be all over this if possible.

 

This is a very nice car!! I miss hearing it drive by my place in ep

 

I knew I was forgetting a few things

-Compustar car alarm w/ remote start
-Low temp. thermostat 60C I beleive
-Silicone hoses (mainly coolant lines)
-Silicone turbo inlet
-Infinity Reference speakers 5-1/2" front component with crossover 6-1/2" rear 3-way

 

Note: This car runs, I have been daily driving it this summer, but there is oil consumption. I have been monitoring the oil every fill up and adding as necessary. The oil has been changes several times since the consumption problem started and no signs of bearing material. Also there are no audible noises from the engine out of the ordinary. This is whats lead me to believe a ring or piston issue.

 

Sorry, forgott an important part!! VIN:JF1GM67581G402144

 

Always liked your car man, good luck with the sale

I am shocked this isn't gone, this car is really well done with some nice parts. It might be good to post some compression test numbers?

 

Me too! I will be doing a compression test this weekend.

 

Bump!

 

Shocked also, haven't been on in a while and I'm surprised to still see it for sale, bump for an impressive build, good luck

 

Cyl #3 115psi Cyl #4 130psi
Cyl #1 120psi Cyl #2 120psi

After making a few phone calls the ej207 v5 compresion should be 130psi warm

Engine was a little shy of being completely warmed up when the compression test was performed. Cyl #3 back by the turbo seems to be the odd man out.

 

BUMp!

Sale Pending!!
