Hello all,

Our latest purchase has had us pointed in the direction of this forum.

My Names Daz, I am a a Honda specialist in the UK and am co-owner of DNR Performance Engineering, we race, tune and work on all types of Honda mainly 2nd gen CRX and 4th Gen Civic.

and currentl run the UK's fastest Nasp CRX.

We have been looking for a new tow vehicle/works van/race support vehicle for a few months now as the Pajero we have is on its way out.

One of customers mentioned about a Honda Odyssey near them that was for sale.

We popped over to see it and were very suprised when we got there.

it looked pretty pimp as you can see.

We were told that it had a blown motor, the owner had lost the keys at the time so we couldnt get in it to check it over. It was how ever very cheap as he needed shot of it. So we left a deposit and arranged to pop back with the trailer.

Getting it on the trailer was fun, weighing in at 2150kgs it took 4 of us to push it on.:eek:


Once we got it back to the work shop we started having a good look over and found some very nice extra's

buy this point we were over the moon, all these JDM goodies, and all fitted to a very tidy shell with a nice body kit.

When we popped the bonnet we were extremely surprised with what we found in fact we couldn't quite believe our luck.

Yep, thats right, its a C's Eaton M45 supercharger conversion, specifically for the Odyssey, :eek::cool::D

we then looked at the ecu and found this

The ecu is socketed and chipped, running a C's chip in the 28pin area, as well as running a C's piggy back unit as well.

The motor is an f22 non vtec, we also found that its the 4wd Odyssey as well when we got it up on the ramp.

All in all we are super chuffed, we have a new motor on its way which will be built up with sme forgies and ARP's to make it a little stronger, we will get the knock cans and wide band on it to check the tune is ok, if all is ok, then we will leave it, if its not perfect, then I will re-tune on crome pro.

A few questions about this particular Odyssey,

What make/model is the Body kit?

How rare is the C's supercharger conversion? are there others about?

Thanks

Daz
