Hi All,

I have a 2002 WRX long engine with 105,000 miles on it. I want to swap for a forged engine, but I'm wondering how much I could get for my engine?

I was told the engine was std when I bought the car, but Rich from FBTuning has checked it over ad said he can see that its had bigger injectors and turbo swap in the past. Rich did a compression test, which checked out fine, and mapped the car to just under 1.3 bar (I asked for a tame map). Its very smooth now, and has a lot more get up and go (Rich put a ported VF35 on for me) but Rich did say the engine is a little bit worn, but if maintained should be good for another 40,000/50,000 miles or more with the map he's given me.

The car has a full service history.

I haven't had it on a RR, but Rich reckons is low 300's BHP because of the tame map I asked for.

So what sort of price could I get for the engine?

Its still in the car, so I can take vids or even take people out for a drive.

Opinions and guidance is most welcomed!

 

Not very much, although I guess you can put it up for £500 and see if you get any bites.

 

Cheers for the advice mate, what do you reckon would be a good price for a quick sale?

I'm thinking if I sell mine, I can then buy the forged engine I've seen, don't want to lose out, and don't really have the space to store my engine while the new one gets put in.

 

I think someone with a blown engine that can diy like myself would take a punt for £300 if they could see and hear it running.

 

Thanks again mate! :-)

I'll put it up for £300 later and see what happens. Its in the car at the mo, so can take vids or even take people out for a drive in it.

It will be an utter nightmare if I sell my engine and the engine I want sells in the meantime!!

Cheers again fella!

 

Paul finch has an engine for sale.

 

Long or short?

 

Good point! I should have mentioned this from the start!

Its the long engine, what do you think a fair price for a quick sale would be?
