Cheap New Engine?

Hey guys. My engine is the 1.6L and currently has 125,000 miles on it. Someone offered me the 1.8L with 44, 000 miles on it for $350-400. Is it worth it and do you think I should do it? If not, Im going to use the money to buy a CF hood

that seems like a good deal. is it in running condition?? what engine is it?

there is a notable difference between the two engines.

you may wanna check if it is OBD1 or 2....i know that a local shop had some trouble swapping an engine from a 96-97 into a 93-95 cuz of a sensor like above the throttle body or something....cant remember...but there is a difference..

need more money on installin the new engine too

where's Dr Tweak when you need him....

It sounds like you'd be better off going with the stock motor since it seems like you don't have the funds to deal with a costly motor swap. Going with a different motor requires more times than not making a custom engine harness and or completely swapping the motor, harness and ecu which all cost more money.

Then there is the fun of trying to get a motor that was not meant to go in your car working properly let alone fitting right.

if funds are an issue you will NOT want to deal with swapping in a different motor.

If funds are not a problem then PM me and I'll let you know what you need to make it as painless as possible.

i have seen this car /\ somewhere but i can't remember where.

Assuming you have a '97, what year is the 7AFE from? It's a very direct swap as long as it's from '96 or newer.

If your engine is running fine, I honestly don't think it's worth the swap. You'd be better off buying my NX kit..
