some guy selling a ctr motor with just the head and block (complete internals), throttle body, and intake manifold (i guess its called a long block) for $1500 and im planning to get it and was wondering is it worth it.

 

better get the CTR tranny with that. otherwise you will have a hard *** time finding one. if i were you, i get the whole entire thing. but other then that, i think its not worth it in my opinion.

 

thats worth it, just buy a b16 tranny with an aftermarket lsd

 

sounds like its hot...

 

oh man cmon people lets stop saying this. i swear people are always jumping to conclusions. leave it alone

 

Good Deal If you dont wanna jump on it, pass the info to me pls and PM me. Thanks

 

how is a jdm motor hot?

anyways... thats a good deal... you can get a lsd tranny and have your self a ctr setup for $2500, plus you still have the option to go 1.8L (ITR)

uhhh, what? people with jdm motors can't get jacked or something?

anyways, if that CTR (b16b) motor comes with all required papers and such, 1500 is one hell of a deal even if its just a long block.

HMM, last time I checked, they didnt make a CTR in the states. Where the **** you gonna steal it from? Dont assume just because something is a good deal it is stolen.

Example: you buy a ctr motor from a shop, your car with ctr motor gets stolen.

btw- $1500 for a ctr motor is a heck of a deal, make sure everything is in working condition.

 

yeah i understand Example: you buy a ctr motor from a shop, your car with ctr motor gets stolen. , that equals to getting jacked... but its not a hot motor as if its legally report stolen with the police as if it was a motor from the states..

 

No sh#t--the head is worth a solid $700 alone.

BTW, they DO steal cars in Japan. Thus, it IS possible to get a stolen motor from Japan. The crooked shop theory is even more probable.

However, the B16B isn't the most popular motor Stateside. The "get a B18C" and "get a B18C5" crowds shun them pretty hard.

For that price, it's worth looking into. Just get a receipt or papers.

 

that's a great deal. if you don't get it .. i will. oh wait.. i have one already.

so do you make it a point to steal cars with JDM motors?

 

Ok then since some of you people are so **** about things being stolen. Do this get him to give you the JDM block numbers call the japanese FBI(equivelent) and check on it. Or shut the hell up.

 

Yeah it's definitely worth it, if its legit. I'd say go for it if you know the guy well enough or reciepts are shown

 

good deal

 

go for it man and enjoy the motor and drive the hell out of the car

 

That sounds like a really good deal to me.

 

it's a good deal if it doesn't have beat up rings that burn a quart of oil every mile...

even if it does its still worth it..

 

of course its worth it.

I doubt it is legit.
if it is legit I doubt it is in good condition (as in it needs to be rebuilt now)
if it is in good condition you could fetch twice the price for it on here.

no duh people steal jdm motors.
steal them in japan. steal them once they are here and in someones car. steal them from shops, etc.

 

Hell no! What the sellers #?

 

Its basically impossible to track stolen jdm motors. Esp the years before they put vin plates on em. It sounds stolen, but whatever, do what u want, if you dont buy it, a million other people will, you might as well have it.

 

THATS AN AWSOME DEAL! thres a shop nearby selling two for 4500 each. then again thats complete swap. it even comes with the sway bars and front suspensions... anyways...

who cares if its 'hot' people who get their engines stolen are probably gonna go steal someone elses engine to make up for it. keep the cycle flowing!
