2.4T MFI totally rebuilt engine for sale

[Terminator]

Get real Richard MFI pump build at Gus Pfisters $3kUS plus freight both ways, throttle bodies rebuollds are $1500 US so add another $5500 to your total. What if you had to buy the MFI system first and then rebuild it most MFI ssystems sell for over $5k US secondhand now. It comes with Porsche heat exhangers almost new which total nearly $4500 also.


No chance of doing it under $44k using the people who were used, non whatsoever, sure the back yard guru might help you for cheaper ...good luck with that

In any event what does it matter its not for sale for $44k you dills, I was just trying to illustrate how cheap this engine is, its for sale for half that and its bloody cheap at that price and if you don't want it thats fine.

Not deluding myself at all... Was guessing on what each part costs. Luckily my engine doesn't need a rebuild! More just wanted to see where the money goes.

Scary that you can buy an entire car for that!!!!!!!!!!

Clyde, let me get this straight -
You say "It's not for sale for $44k", but it is for sale at $22k - so does that mean if I offer $44k then I can't have it because it's not for sale at that figure, but you will accept $22k because it is for sale for that amount ..................who's the dill

ah, the English language

[reedminor]

Settle petal, and don't be so testy Clyde!

No one denies the motor is relatively good value.

I was however having difficulty adjusting my head to 2009 prices... my motor was done in 1999 for about half the price of the engine that's for sale... thankfully it was a relatively straightforward rebuild... and it's a non MFI (Weber carbs) motor.

You for replying like that Mr Upwey!!! You give me $44k Peter that will make you happy, I will give you $22k change

I am not testy Justin, but you all happily pick the daylights out of the claim I made, so go ahead, I wish you luck, when you have done it come back with your list of costs then and only then will I take any notice of you. This is a councours engine so all plating, painting new hoses etc are included. As i said previously not sure why you all have your knickers in a knot anyway its for sale at $22k and if I am wrong and you could do it for $35k, I apologise, I will only save you $13,000. I'll split you 50/50!

That doesn't include you Phil because I know you have done it and I know you know I am right

If you aren't interested in buying why are you bothering?

Apologies to Dave for this post I know I am going against my own advice

[Jeff Eelkema]

FWIW this seems fair value to me when you consider that you are buying a complete engine outright including the MFI system. Rebuilding an existing engine is a very different situation.

[e72phil]

The only real issue here is if you were serious about a rebuild, is the matching numbers arguement. But if you have a rolling chassis (72 or 73) this is a perfect engine to get you driving. even if you bought it as an interim engine whilst you decided if your old one was worth rebuilding (to keep the numbers etc) it is very cheap.

Those of us who have done a very recent rebuild, ie: 2008 prices, know what all the little bits from POrsche cost as I started to list them. I had $327 worth of nuts,bolts and washers that were required over and above the specialised engine studs, head bolts etc.


Believe me it will cost you a lot as there are no shortcuts on rebuilding a Porsche engine and if you do, you risk the lot.

This is why, if you have a complete, well running early 911 in good condition, its worth what people are asking in the used market at present (for good cars, not the junkers that are around).

Trying to buy the $30K car and then thinking you only need another $10-15K to "get it back to original" is "dreamin".

How many times have we had this discussion on this forum, about the real cost of repairing these cars (properly). Nothing is getting cheaper with respect to parts, labour, paint, etc. In fact many parts are impossible to find (Roland ?) and you have to haunt ebay and pay top dollar or wait and settle for an average part or try to rebuild what you have.

Clyde, myself and a few others have been there, often many times, so we hope that our friends on this forum can benefit from this advice and be realistic about what to expect to get cars up and running again and looking "noice".

[ESP911]

Guys, you are all arguing over different things.
Clyde's price is an engine that has been rebuilt, not a rebuild on an engine that you already own. Therefore it's irrelevant if you look back and quote a figure on what it cost to rebuild your own engine.

Now get to your bedrooms & don't forget to pick up that Lego

[alexwebster]

This is great entertainment!! Keep it up guys!

FWIW I know of 3 x 2.8 RSR motors that are for sale... price.... around $35k. Not fresh rebuilds but pretty close - if I had the cash I would love one!!

[OBRUT]

alex,

do you know if the no. 6 piston lower rocker cover kerflugel-dunk washer on these RSR motors has been cadmium plated in the correct colour and sheen level? if yes, i'm in for one also. otherwise i'll have to go with the 2.4T.

brett,

nah ni nah nah nah

[alexwebster]

yes Ryan it has, and it was also shuffle pinned, machine bored, nitro welded, as well as compression sealed with genuine German compression sealant.

FIIK (you work out the acronmyn) what else has been done!
