Default Ls turbo motor .. kid has it for sale, $575? worth it?

doesnt come with the tranny

i guess its a 1.8 dohc non vtec? thats turbo'd

doesnt come with much for the turbo, just the turbo/motor im guessing.

$575 a steal? or a dime a dozen?

no idea what brand turbo or even if the motor is good or not .. i can only "take his word" lol until i get it apart.

if you're going to tear it apart, why not buy a engine thats smoking for cheap? LS engines can easily be purchased under 200 dollars. just have to search.

Buying a used turbo motor can be sketchy, my roommate bought a used LS after he melted a piston in his old one, only to find that it had a bad headgasket and stripped head bolt holes in the block. Just be careful

buy it. im sure it will be in good shape.... im kidding. honestly if the person selling the engine doesnt show me the engine running healthy i wouldnt pay more than 200 bucks. cause even though they might SAY its good its always a 50/50. so dont spend more then what you would pay for whatever you would salvage if it was bad. you know?

This isn't even a tech question, this is an opinion question and everyone will view things slightly differently. If you want it, buy it. If you're unsure, don't. It's that simple.

No, people like you arent reading the rules and cluttering this forum up.

Threads that are not acceptable in main CRX/EF Civic Tech forum.
1. FS (For Sale)/WTB (Would Like To Buy or Where To Buy) or spamming ads in random posts
2. Bench Racing/Can I win a race against "car x"/What will my car do in the quarter mile, Street racing questions- Can Car X with X motor beat Car Y with Y motor?
3. No Meet Posts without mod approval
4. "What should I sell my CRX/Civic for?" or "How much is my CRX/Civic worth?" or "Is this a good deal/price?" "What would these parts be worth?"
5. "Which one is better EF or X car" or "EF; X car". Should I trade/sell/buy Car X for Car Y. "Would you buy this car?".
6. Negative comments/replies that do nothing but add post count and stir people up, swearing, swearing at each other or name calling, and no racial comments.
7. Threads with no technical information.

8. No bumping
9. Post whoring to make post count
10. Open Polls will be left open for the benefit of the original poster. If the open poll is abused and unwarranted selections are created those that created and voted for those selections will be addressed.



Pretty simple, dont buy if you dont want it, or buy it if you do. If you think its too good to be true, it most likely is.
