About tree fiddy

>>14793895
goddamn

>>14793905
Don't listen to that idiot.
>$500 and an afternoon

>>14793881
how many miles?

I'd aim for 3k if it looks decent and doesn't have 220k miles.

$1,000, give or take a couple hundred

>>14793910
this went over my head

>>14793937
the original engine broke down at 230K bought a rebuilt VTEC engine and put it in.

so idk hot the fuck to price it, because in theory this should work as good as a new engine. well close to a new engine

>>14793944
feel like thats what a 97 is worth

>>14793965
yeah except everything but the engine is 250k miles old.

>>14793987
true so then i was thinking 2500 is a fair price?

>>14793995
I was going to say list it as 3000 or best offer to give your self room to negotiate down.

>>14793965
2k tops. Non-original engine kills it.

b- b- b- vtec

On a side note, i've been reading and i've come to the conclusion that just because i put in a vtec, doesn't make it completely vtec.

Do you guys know what exactly one would need to complete the transformation?

and another side note, are 04-05 Vtec engines truly vtec? I read somewhere that theyre more like E vtec. Dont really kick in.

>>14794042
do you know exactly what engine it is?

>>14794022
Find a company that doesn't have their own brand of variable valve timing and you'd have gone back in time 30 years.

>>14794042
If you put in vtec engine in a non-vtec car, you still have a non-vtec ecu so it'll never activate if it runs at all.

$3k

>>14794042
the d17a2 which comes in the ex has vtec, the vtec is to switch from 12-16 valves on the intake side only and while it doesnt have a wild cam lobe the d17a2 does squirt more fuel in so it is vtec just not vtec 2 which comes on the dohc btec models

>>14793965
About 1500, rebuilds actually severely damage there sale value of a vehicle.

1500 is your starting asking price, don't expect to so it for that. Take anything over 800 and be happy.

>>14793946
The cost and time people associate with swapping an lsx engine into another car

>>14795342
Its not variable valve timing main.

Its variable cam duration.

>Non-original engine kills it.
This. If you're gonna save money by installing a non-numbers matching engine, then you're gonna pay a price when it comes time to sell.

>>14796245
No, the LS1 is the engine from the meme. Fucking newfags.

>>14796497
>hurrdurr lsx doesn't include ls1
Simmer down buddy
