Question Engine - price suggestions

Hi all,

I currently have a wrx engine 2002 (49,000kms) installed in a kit car.

I am going to be removing it and selling it with the entire wiring loom.

It has a custom made exhaust manifold which might not suit WRX application but has nice thick intercooler, pod and of course a bov.

anyway ill be pulling it out to put another engine in and need some advice on what I should be trying to sell it for with everything as above (loom, intercooler, pod, bov)

(engine runs perfect)


cheers in advance!!

Ok been calling a few stores guys. For-Your-Infos

for engine, loom, ecu and manifold etc is about $6,500 (ddnt say if that is incl GST or not)

(and at that price the 1 guy even had the balls to say he didnt have any and couldnt help)

that is for a 2002 engine (non STI)

I got that approximate price from 3 different ppl today.

So keep ur oil clean and don't redline too much!!!!!

Cheers
