I know of a guy in my area selling an LS/Vtec engine for $1800, comes with B18a1 Block, B18c1 head, B16 pistons, eagle rods, act clutch (brand new) GSR tranny. Does this sound like a good deal? Comes with everything to install it.

 

Hell yes jump on that ****...as long as it runs fine its a great deal...many LS/VTEC's are put together poorly though, but that setup is worth way more than the asking price

 

it hasn't actually been run yet, but he's built around 3-5 of these engines before and they've all come out perfect, putting him in the low 14's in a 92 hatch.

I just wasn't sure if that was a decent price or not... looks like I should start saving my pennies

 

damn thats a steal. might even be too good to be true.. you know what that means. i'd find out why it's so cheap. it might be hot.

 

he's a friend of mine... just sellin it to me for what he's put into it... he sold his Honda and bought an eclipse... he wanted a little stock AWD boost.

 

low 14s...thats it? With that setup I would expect atleast 13s. I run a 13.7 in my car (1992 Si - fat pig) with a gsr motor with very very few mods (Skunk2 Intake manifold, HeaderTech header, and Kenji ECU).

 

yea i'd go for it,

if he is your friend then you know hes not trying to jack you

 

well, when he ran at the track with a similar setup, he was slipping through 3rd gear on street tires and shitty track. So I'd imagine, since the track has been newly renovated, I should be able to get some better times. He ended up running a 14.3.

 

if you dont get it i will buy it!!

 

hahaha... I'll let you know how it goes. It's getting put together right now, so I'll keep you posted.
