a guy has one locally that he would be willing to sell.

its a b18a1 ls vtec with a built head and turbo set up. finding out more information about such as parts used in the build and condtions/mileage on everything

what i want to know is how much would you pay for this set up? or how much do u think its worth?

Not worth much without recipts, and a invoice with the specs FROM THE MACHINE SHOP THE WORK WAS DONE AT.

These motors just arent the best thing to buy private part because you never know who did the build. I got ripped off royaly but I know my motor was built with the best technicians over @ RS machine in LA. I payed almost $7k for my build, and that didnt even include headwork.... yeah I know.......

See what kind of information they have on the motor to prove its specs, and reliablity and base the price upon that. PM me if you have any questions.

Me, personally, I would NEVER buy a motor thats already been boosted. Start from scratch, that way IF something goes wrong, there's nobody to blame but yourself.

Remember....built not bought! :D

I guess, for me it would depend on what kind of EMS they were using, and who was doing the tuning.
