It's worth what you want to pay, complete ones go around £500 usually, this one is in bits though, so if your building it yourself be prepared that lots of parts will most likely need replacing. If your on a budget then maybe this is the best option, otherwise you'd be better to get a stock 1275 engine and uprate the pistons and head, and use that! |

As said, it's entirely down to what you are willing to pay for it. I personally wouldn't buy it since it's been sat around for 5 years but that is just me. If you've got the money to replace bits that will inevitably need replacing go for it but I'd rather see an engine before I consider buying it. On 2nd Nov, 2010 wil_h said:

i dont see why being sat is an issue, the newest metro turbo engines are all over 20 years old now and anything you buy needs stripping down and rebuilding.

Being sat in a cold damp garage is never going to do it any good compared to keeping it inside the house (like mine) and the amount you'd pay to get the bores honed because they've rusted you might aswell buy another slightly more expensive engine but in better nick. On 2nd Nov, 2010 wil_h said:

I'm with wolfie... my car sat for 14 years when I first got it I ran it as my first car for 2 years. It then sat for another 11 years until I started to use it again, in 2007 I put the SC kit on it and its been running over x2 the power since then.
I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Not really when you consider someone else might be selling a turbo engine that has been run recently and rebuilt before. But each to their own, like I have already said. On 2nd Nov, 2010 wil_h said:
