Any interest?

[John Yorke]

Been thinking [a bad thing I know] and wondering if there might be any interest in my current engine?
It is a 13b RE complete with 1/2 bridge porting done less than 2k miles since a full rebuild made 540fwhp at the Thor dyno day would be sold with the RE uim and lim. Note: it is just the block you would need all the bits and pieces.
What do you guys think?

It might tempt someone as it\'s an easy-ish route if they are due a rebuild but you might have to wait a while unless you can sell it to an engine builder so they can offer it as a package.

Personally I\'m more interested in what the next step for you is; 13REW -> 13B RE -> 20B???

Oh john, john, john, this is so incredibly tempting, its exactly what I want for a future project, I just dont think I can afford it right now!

Do you extend credit to loyal MRC types?!

Oh, did you have a price in mind? £1200?

That might just buy a 2nd hand basic block without the 30 odd hours that went into porting or the £900 odd that went into parts:Giggle

Is this an N/A Engine?  

Your obviously not selling it with a turbo, but when you made 540fwhp was this without one?

Im moving house in a month and was looking into getting my current engine ported for use with a T04S, how suited would yours be for that turbo, the turbo is probably a bit too small! lol

Can\'t imagine anything N/A coming out of Johns garage mate :-) For what its worth I bought Johns old car and its an animal, I\'d buy this engine for a spare if I had enough wonga spare.

£1500? and what do you mean "half bridge"? Are the secondaries bridged only?

[John Yorke]

RE engines are very rare, consider having your stock REW engine rebuilt and ported [1/2 bridge] and see what that costs,  the 540 fwhp was from running a T51 at 1.15boost [not even in its stride at that point - should see over 600 with that setup running 1.4] Only looking to recoupe my costs, engine is mint less than 2k miles, only selling the engine [bare] with UIM and LIM [RE]

[MikeLMR]

come on then ... stop being a tease you must have a figure in mind or are you just fishing for offers ?

[dandan]

Yeah come on John, give me a number to start saving towards, or to ask my bank manager for...

[John Yorke]

Looking for offers around 3.5K, for you peeps that dont get on FDUK to often pop over there and have a look at \'project testarossa\' you might understand the amount of work and detail that has gone into it.
Taking into account a stock rebuild using your own engine comes in around 3k throw into the mix this is an RE block and 1/2 bridge will rev to 9+k and I think that is cheap. I\'m only looking to re-coup my costs to help fund my new project.
