im going to be getting a jspec motor soon. i wanted to know how much i should sell a tII s4 motor in the car i have now. it starts up but i blew a seal so it doesnt really run. it was rebuilt like 5000 miles ago and everything looks in real good shape. i was going to sell it with everything including tranny, ecu and intercooler. any price input is helpfull thanks.

 

You blew a seal after 5000 miles? Which seal was it, apex, corner, oil, water?

 

well it was blown when i got it but what happen was he bought the full racing beat exhaust and didnt upgrade the fuel pump or system at all and it was boosting up too 14psi. so now its blown a seal. im going to sell the whole thing though everything in the engine bay.

 

Ah, that could explain it. I might have considered buying it off you, but I just rebuilt my motor.

 

Depending on what seal you are talking about, a broken seal could cause quite a bit of internal damage making the housing or side plate useless. If you have the engine out, tear it apart. I could be interested in the core if everything minus the seals is intact.

 

well it blew the apex seal. now i havent been driving it since it happened. but it could have been damaged. im waiting for my j spec before i remove the engine. but i want to sell everything all in one including the turbo, ecu and intercooler. i really dont have time to take the engine apart so i would be selling it as is assuming the worse. the engine looks real clean though.

 

Well you should expect atleast $400 for the block, turbo and ecu. If you are willing to sell just the shortblock, let me know and we'll talk.
