evo 4 engine prices

[toms starion]

g.day all ive been priced 8grand for an evo 4 engine installed and running.. i have a mint jb that i just want more out off but want to keep it mitsubishi as i wanna turn it into a show car.

is 8grand a good price?

[Lummy]

A stock EVO4 engine or a hot one?

[Adriano]

8k is not a good price for a stock evo4 motor, remember these are now getting old, you can get them for about $2500

[Adriano]

Sorry, i didnt see installed and running, does the workshop know whats involved?

[redzone]

get that quote in a legally binding written contract lol, then that shop will hate you, or your car will leave unfinished after they've done the 8K worth of work LOL

[fugazi]

Shit... the motor alone would be about 8k in Sweden... WELL used and probabley not to healthy! LOL
And then you'll need an ECU of some sort and wireing and.... and... a lot of time!

that looks unreal but with the intake and exhaust on the wrong side plus that what appears to my unlearned eyes to be a transfer case for the 4wd system it looks like a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE amount of money to get that up and running in a staz. Am I wrong ?

[redzone]

2 main probs are the lack of rwd engine mount bosses and i think the bellhousing pattern is different again..

the manifolds being switched is a PLUS not a negative..

[toms starion]

thanks for the replys.. its a stock evo4 engine. im still learning bout turbo's so more replys are good..

i just want something that pulls a big number on the dyno for under 9grand.. what do use think

[WANTSOM]

What Redzone said. Any change out of 20 grand for a properly done TC conversion is a bonus.

. what do use think

I think that grammar nazi around is not going to be impressed, i forgot who it was though.

But seriously I dont think you are going to get too much in the way of BIG numbers for under 9 grand. Performance costs big money which is why I stick with my old standard sohc, another thing to consider is once you start to make big numbers everything else starts to get stressed beyond what it was designed for, gearbox, cluthc, brakes, drive shafts, diff, cooling system, the list is endless and very expensive. In all seriousness if you are after performance for around 9 grand what about and old V8 falcon of commodore, a dime a dozen and they go ok ? Just my 2 cents worth.

^^^^^^^^^^^ What he said!

what do you class as big numbers?

[Adriano]

Or sell starion, add $9000 and get close to something fast without the hassle.

[toms starion]

thanks people.. big numbers as in over 300kw at the wheels..

i can pick up a 1jz with everything for 2grand been converted to a big greddy turbo..
