87 octane?
Atleast tune for the highest octane available

 

i dont know how he tuned it, whether for 87 or 93. what would u think. but my car feels better with 87. im building a motor now anyway. so im pumped to run a built motor on an evo 8 ecu, hah im gonna blow u all away

 

Quit guessing and start logging

 

he tuned it for the gas you had in it on the dyno. I hope it was 93!

Lol ya I was pretty sure this would be the case eventually but had to ask

 

yes it was 93 lol when i had it tuned, ive been on 93 for awhile now

 

ok so is it possible to get an engine from an 02 through 07 es or oz. i found an 03 today with 30k for 500. but also remember that ill be using the evo 8 ecu.

 

Yea it'll work. They are all 4G94 engines. It doesn't matter. Little high of a price, IMO. I picked up my last motor for $250 with 16k miles on it.

 

I'm guessing all you need is the block, and not the head. The only thing I can remember is that they switched to returnless fuel system somewhere along the way.

 

well senate, where do u think i can get one that cheap bc its not costly to drive, certainly not 300 dollars, ill do that if u can find one like that again, then that would be awesome. hmm a 2005 would be nice. i just would like that id have a newer engine inside my car!

 

I've found my last 3 engines on (where else but) ebay. Each one was under 20k miles and under $300 before shipping.

Depending what year/mileage engine you get will determine how much machine work is needed before assembly. Depending on what the cylinder walls look will determine whether you'll need to go .020 over or not on the pistons.

 

Here you go broham, 4g94 w 16,000 miles for 200 plus shipping. Located in IL, haha road trip?

yupp road tripp!!! now where is illinois lol

its prolly like 13 hrs. do u reckon thats the mileage thats rele on it and will it come with all that is shown in the pic. i dont get when they say block and heads. pic shows intake, will it come with it.

 

Hmmm... maybe I'll pick up this engine too... Just kidding!

Same guys I got mine from. Shipping ended up being $29 cause they were only like 12 miles away from me. Nice find!

 

The first pic does have the intake mani on it, hm, they probably just snapped the pics before they pulled it off. Just the block, and the head. Its a freakin killer deal man, esp if it has only 16,000 miles, and the compression test was done and got good readouts. I would go for it man! seriously for only 200 + shipping! or just go pick it up!

Estimated Time: 13 hours 24 minutes Estimated Distance: 814.66 miles

1,630 miles, it would take roughly 5 tanks for you to drive out in your car at 30 mpg.
Ave fill up = 25.00 - 30.00... Total $125-$150 in gas.. plus food... total $175.

So now find out how much it'll cost you for them to ship it to you, and see which one more cost effective.
