$1200 D16Y8 engine: Should I get or pass?

[vjf915]

Yea that k24 is just the engine though, you need many more parts.....not that you dont know that lol.

seems like a lot for a stock d

You could get a full LS swap for $800, and last i check, they handle boost much better than the D.

And with a LS you could always change your mind and go Ls vtec.

 

[mahalo]

where can you get a k swap for that much??

i was thinking the same thing i dont think you can stare at a k for 1200 bucks..
if your going to build it i would buy a freshly built one i would buy a cheap used one just my 2 cents

 

[SoJ1Ro]

see you at carlisle

 

[JohnS.]

there were a few k20a3's for sale on craigslist for less than $1200

That's because k20a3's are junk.

Pricey. I got my whole JDM B18B motor, with 34k, tranny, ALL required parts except for rear tranny bracket and shift linkage for less than that.

If you have $1200 to spend, go B series.

That what i thought. Its the whole 3 year warranty thing thats making me want this one. That just gives me permission to run it real hard and worry. Ill wait til after carlise maybe i can find a deal there. Thanks for your reply.

if you used this as a spare to mess with or to turbo, wouldn't that void the warranty?

 

[cgpEJ6]

That's way too expensive, I wouldn't even consider it

I agree! if you boost it, it will more than likely void it anyway!

 

[cgpEJ6]

If it's rebuilt, it doesn't have 0 miles either

 

[EG6 LIFE]

right over priced i can get one wit trans and harness for 600 bucks

This guy was a d**k head anyway he email me back and said doent matter whats inside its gone. I said you can go f**k yourself thats what i said to him lol.

 

[Puma]

1200 for a damned y8?? wtf?? you like sideways anal w/ no lube..don't you?

my buddy here in STL just picked up a rebuilt one for only 500. with tranny. eff your guy's prices!

 

[Genuine Rolla]

that's wayyyy too much for a y8.

 

[khmaiboiremix]

go with a b series. if you want more power then turbo that beast.
