lewis hill Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hi lads im looking to get a 2jz-gte engine preferably UK spec but JDM if I need to but don't really want vvti, also need a R154 5 speed. What is the general cost for these? Cant see any on sale in classifieds and ebay wants £3.8k for a vvti and £1.5k for R154. Is this the normal price of them? Thanks Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 It is getting that way which for old engines with little or no history is pretty daft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know any good places to buy one that I can find out the history etc? I've pm'd keron so waiting on reply but can't really find anyone else that's trusted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You take a gamble on any second hand engine of the age these ones are now irrespective of if its in a car or not. Just seems crazy to me to take a two and a half grand gamble when you need to pay out to have the engine installed. I'd rather pay the £3500 I saw a rebuilt engine on here for recently than £2500 for one that could be living on borrowed time. I'm sure somebody maybe Jurgen was talking about bringing a load in from Japan that had been dumped out of cars because it was cheaper to install new crated lumps than put them through a Shaken out there? Or maybe I am imagining it. I'm also sure I remember seeing a photo of a load of aristo engines in a Malaysian scrap yard going for pennies. If you've got a decent rolling shell with new suspension, brakes and consumables like exhausts etc why not buy a crated lump? Anyone know what Mr T charges for a long block these days?

Swampy442 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Erm, yeah..... 11000 ENGINE ASSY, PARTIAL 19000-46140 1 $24,800.77 Companies do import them but not sure on price. Then add shipping, plus VAT plus Duty. You're not going to stick it in anything other than a Toyota are you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i can see what you are saying about that built 1 but you've still got to add a lot more parts to the block so will end up quite a lot more than £3.5k and we all have budgets lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
