top secret car Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 thats the thing at the minute Ive found a mint 98 jdm twin turbo vvti engine with only 35,000 miles on it with the 6-speed gearbox and all the accessories but some bloke put me of buying it because he said the 93-97 engines are more tunable for a lot less money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 thats the thing at the minute Ive found a mint 98 jdm twin turbo vvti engine with only 35,000 miles on it with the 6-speed gearbox and all the accessories but some bloke put me of buying it because he said the 93-97 engines are more tunable for a lot less money There are some more complex aspects to tuing the VVTI, the fly by wire throttle and VVTI setup can cause some issues but I think most have been worked out now. The VVTI setup allows better mid range response so is worth doing provided you have all the parts. ...on that note, are you thinking about retrofitting one? Be aware that the VVTI requires a completely different loom and ECU, its a b*astard to do unless you have everything from a donor car.

top secret car Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 luckily i didn't pay for it but i did win it on eBay and before i paid for it i saw they had o feedback and they only just became a member and that alone rang alarm bells and the engine WITH a 6 speed gearbox with all the accessories all for £1050 sounded way to good to be true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top secret car Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 but if anybody out there has a 93-97 twin turbo engine and 6 speed gearbox with under 45,000 miles on it that wants to sell it to a desperate bloke who wants more power than a non turbo engine then id really like to here from you and i would also prefer all the accessories so its near enough an easy engine swap thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
