I have a 91 coupe with 80k right now... should i sell it to my freind for 4k , and but this turbo 2 that near me for about 3k....the problem with tha turbo2 is that it already has 150k miles on it...is a rebuilt motor as good as original??? How long do they last?? Are they hard to maintain if i drive regularly???

buy*...not but

If your worried, take the T2 to a shop that deals with Rotaries or Mazda dealership and get a pre-purchase inspection done with a compression test. If it all checks out good, then go
for it.

Re-builds last depending on the quality of the builder and the parts used....

If I were you, well i can't really say, i don't know what you want. If it were me, i'd keep the coupe and just have a good reliable car. and then after i finish college i plan on upgrading.
that's just me tho.

DerangedHermit

Yeah. That extra cash will get you a new engine with a nice streetport. It'll be about as fast a TII, AND much more reliable.

I got my fc for 1,900 ! with only 121k on it...but if its a rebuild go for it!

dont do it unless it runs perfectly.

i'll never own another s4TII again.

ddub

Why? Because their engines are better? Personally I'll never own an s5 engine

ddub

Side note to the poster, if the engines rebuilt then that's better, but get a compression test before you buy and verify it has indeed been rebuilt and the seller isn't just blowing smoke up your ***.

Personally, I'd sell your coupe, find a TII with an engine that is running but needs a rebuild for cheaper, say 2k, then spend 2k on rebuild, port, mods.

Rotary_7

WTF!!!! That guy just emailed me back and now wants 5k + for it!!!! Wat a $#!T Head!!!
5k for it isnt worth it is it??? Im sure it needs a rebuild soon

what yr is it

Impreza2RX7

5K isnt worth it, I bought my 87 TII for 4K with 60K original miles in mint condition from the original owner. S4 and S5 engines have their perks and downfalls, S4's being the lower compression.. the next engine I buy will be an S5 with 3MMs and alot of s6 ****..

Dosent matter, there's still 150K on the chassis..

gerbraldy

That TII with 150k is not worth it if the engine is original. You can easily find a nice TII (interior, exterior, blown engine) for less than $2000. That TII engine will blow so you might as well find one cheaper with an already blow engine. We just picked up a 87 TII mint condition (except for engine) 130k for $1500 down in homestead. For $5000 you can get a built TII for sure

slip_N_slide83

Oh yea just sell your car to your friend and buy a turbo II with a blown engine for about 2000, and take the extra 2 grand and dump it into the engine, **** it sell yours buy another N/A and supercharge it!!!! after you rebuild it

Andrew89GTU

wtf.... why would he want to buy a different n/a to supercharge, when he's already got the last year model n/a and it's only got 80k on it??



- you make no sense -

josh greene

im about to buy a s4 T2 for 3500$ and its all perfect except needs paint and has maroon interior, 5000$ is not worth it to me, Im sure you can find one cheeper!!!!!

dr.jones63

5 k is too high unless it has alot of high $ mods already

standalone $1k
ACVR $400
Aftermarket Turbo, manifold etc. $2k
etc, etc

Risky - A JDM motor is about $1000
Good - A rebuild with a street port $2500
Best - A rebuild with a street port and new housings $3000 and up

My advice is to shop around

tecknomage

i just wanna find a wrecked TII so i can take the engen, tranny, manafolds, lsd, etc and put in my N/A vert :-p

mythe7

well. if i were you. id sell your car, and everything you had. then, give the money to me(assuming that im still me too). and then id go back to being me, and use the money to dump into MY rx7.
