adi2009 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Might be a better idea (if the turbos on your blown/ current engine are in good condition) to swap them with the ones on the new engine since u never know the condition of turbos on used engines until u actually start using it. Just my thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 A brand new short block is £1800 from Vortex... As Alex says your best option would be to fit a new short block, this would effectively give you a brand new engine for similar money as a replacement second hand engine install. Speak to Vortex or import from MVP in the US see traders section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Short block £1800 Thats a bargain, toyota want £2500+vat just for the block, no pistons etc!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Short block £1800 Thats a bargain, toyota want £2500+vat just for the block, no pistons etc!! Check out MVP price just over £1280ish, it would probably cost you the difference though getting it over to UK, £1800 from Vortex is a very good price.
