e16se engine,how much??

[brucer]

hey all,planning on selling my gte engine in the next couple of weeks,just wandered what i could get for it?

spec is as follows;

1600CC 8V e16se engine


270degree cam(reprofiled original)

Uprated valve springs

Ported and polished head(diy job)

Lightened flywheel

Vernier pulley

ARP rod bolts

Four to one manifold in heat wrap

Stainless exhaust system

Blue samco hoses

Drilled airbox with k and n panel filter or k and n induction kit(have both can choose which)

New:

Piston rings with honed block

Big end bearing shells

HT leads with mk4 astra HT lead cover

Ngk plugs

Valeo clutch

Cambelt

Re-conditioned alternator

doesnt come with starter motor!!


covered 7000miles since rebuild and before that i assume it was the same mileage as the car which was 47k.will need to shift asap once ive removed it.comes with everything that needs to have it running(coil,ecu etc excluding starter)



so what you all think?


have got loads of pics of the engine rebuild but here are a couple of what it looks like(granted these were taken near to the end of the build but can get more if needed,also vid of it running)

umm thats a hard one,

but i would only pay a max of £250 for it, only due to what other engines you can get for that money,

yeh i know thats the problem im facing,i could break it but thats time an effort that i could spend on building the car again.lol.

there isnt really that much done to it to justify more than the average god condition engine.

i mean, you've listed 'cambelt' and 'ngk plugs'. is that supposed to impress me?

your spec isnt that hot other than a cam, exhaust, and flywheel. which most 2nd hand engines will have anyway.

il give you the fact its had new rings and big ends, but what about the mains and thrusts?

that list was written ages ago and no the plugs and belt arnt to impress nobody but some people(if advertised elsewere)might see that as a good thing if they have a lack of knowledge of cars/engines.

crank wasnt removed so never did them,all i was asking was for any idea of what i could sell it for not to be told what i should have done to improve a re-sale price.those types of things never cross our minds because we build stuff not for a re-sale price but the fact of fun.thanks anyway merit.:thumb:
