-Bradders- Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Any ideas guys on how to tell the difference on a rev-up engine? My rebuilder has said its gonna work out better to buy another engine rather than just replace worn parts on mine, i've found one with 53k on it, from a gt4, for under 2k, but how can i make sure its legit as in deffo a rev up engine? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Bradders- Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Here's the reply i got lol who smashed there zed then after xmas? HI This was a working engine when it came to us, nothing abnormal was noticed, this car was absolutely spotless, apart from the damage from accident. This vehicle belonged to a local software developer struck a curb after his works Christmas do, panicked as he had had 2 pints and had the car recovered to us before any of her majesties local constabularies appeared on the scene. We are open to sensible offers on the engine, but please bare in mind this is the higher output GT4 version and we are including the ecu and loom with the item and shipping to normal UK mainland has been incorporated within the buying price. Feel free to make a sensible offer, the worst that will happen is we say no. Kind regards Edited January 7, 2016 by -Bradders- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Bradders- Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Isn't it a pita to put a rev up engine in a de? No idea, looks the same to me lol and it comes with ecu/looms etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yeah that's the Rev up. If u were able to look in the airbox u would see a bigger velocity stack also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 You really need to check. I too believe it's FAR from a straight swap. I thought your mate was building your engine for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 The rev up engine is fairly straight forward to fit to a DE non rev up car providing that you have the ECU and loom, however you will have to turn the NATs off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is/was but he thinks it will be best to get a lower mileage engine rather than swap out the @*!# parts in mine and still have a block with 135k on it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeybrain1234 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I agree with your mate Bradders, why fix a 135k engine when you can get lower mileage one for probably not a huge lot more. Good shout. Good luck with the search. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the search. Trouble is, you then have an engine of completely unknown quantity. This one is from a crashed car, could've been run on any old fuel, revved to high heaven from cold, run low on oil etc. A rebuilt 135K engine could actually be far superior to one with 53K on it, easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ooh there is that as well, good point. Some are absolutely fine (mine was), but some have been known to be dreadful. That's a pretty big risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I have a freshly rebuilt VQ35DE sitting in my garage, full engine & loom bar an alternator Not sure where you would stand with your insurance in the event of a theft having the NATs disabled?

Ekona Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 You wouldn't tell them: If they don't find the car then they'll never know, and if they find the car then they give it back to you and it's not an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
