ugh... whats he asking would be easier to tell if it reasonable...

[Drifting-pedobear]

dont understand how people can care so little about how they "present" their item for pictures. just looks janky and all hell. and the place looks sketchy.

but ^^^^what he said; post HIS asking price.

IDK.... Id say maybe 14-1500$ tops. I bet that thing will need more sensors than are good on it. It depends on who is doing the swap.
If your doing it and planning on building the engine then it doesnt matter. But if your looking for a drop and go type deal dont buy this.

Buy mine. $4000. Ready to make 500 hp.

thanks guys, just asking to see what you think is worth.

the guy is asking $1200 obo.

might not get it, unless i'm desperate

[badbob2121]

offer him like 800 or 900 and rebuild... like ^^^^ said, it depends on your intentions with the motor....

Harness?

Tranny?

Ecu?

What is it missing?

[joesmiths14]

^^ i have no idea. did not say what it includes.

probably not worth it.

[BoostFiend510]

I don't think so... I'd say save your money

Hopefully I can help you see where you'll run into extra costs, and get you a more accurate budget. Unseen expenses are what kills project cars, so the more info up front, the better.

Mileage? Check the timing cover for numbers scratched or punched into the label, this is the mileage (in KM) when the timing belt was replaced. High mileage doesn't mean it's bad and low mileage doesn't mean it's good, but it helps to know.

Compression numbers? If he will compression test it and the results are good (150psi+ with all cylinders close to each other) there's a MUCH higher chance that it's a good motor.

Turbo shaft play? Those turbos are a couple hundred bucks, if it's blown that's an expense you won't want to deal with.

ECU? I have a Neo ECU in stock, but they're fairly rare.

Harness? At the very least, you'll need it converted, but if it's cut or messed up the fee goes up and up.

Sensors? If you're missing sensors, that's extra money and extra time. Make sure it's got both knock sensors, coolant temp sensor, and an o2 sensor at least.

Trans? If no trans is included, you'll need to drop $800-$1000 for a RB25 trans, or a couple hundred on a KA/RB20 trans that won't want to handle the power for very long.

Clutch? You'll probably want to replace it anyway, but if it comes with a clutch and flywheel that'll make your life a lot easier.

If it's a good condition longblock, complete, $1200-$1500.
