Hi all,
Need a bit of help, have put a deposit down on an engine on here from jose, and i hope if he is genuine he won't mind me putting this thread up.
I'm having worries about the engine, that could be unreasonable. He's after 650 pounds for the engine but we were unable to do a compression test as the engine and he keeps telling me that if I want any extra power over standard that i would need to change the head gasket, which makes me worry about the state of the head gasket.
here is the original ad;
B18FT turbo complete engine including gear box, ecu, and wiring, all wiring is marked up to connect to a renaut 5 gt turbo
Have also a stainless steel tubular manifold made specially from Belgium includes T34.48 spec with a 360 degree bearing
Ecu has been de-restricted and brought by EFI-Parts
I'm not sure on how much to sell the whole lot for so would be open to offers but no stupid offers or time wasters as it has costed me alot money to have
my question is it still worth the money even though i cannot test the condition of the engine? i have been up to see him, and he seems like a genuine guy, plus there is everything there to complete the conversion minus an actuator on the turbo.
I know he hasn't had many posts but has anyone had any dealings with him?
Im only after some advice as its a lot of money to gamble with.
p.s. if anyone thinks this thread is not very appropriate please pm me and ill take it down.
many thanks guys.
