Go to www.magnusmotorsports.com and look at the tech article on How to. Its a really good writeup. But IMO 120k isnt all that bad. Unless the engine is running like crap id say just keep it. Do a compression check and if the #'s are good then stick with it till it dies

 

I dont understand why anyone would ever wanst to spend money and replace a perfectly good engine.

There are a million and one things you could spend the money on. You could buy a MBC, Exhaust, Intake. The engine is just pointless.

From my experiance with stuff like that, things typically cost double what you anticipate. The engine alone is going to be 700+ (700 will buy you a crap engine) and to install and set it up is going to be that again......... just think about it`

 

Why buy a car with alot of miles when you could buy a car with low miles and advoid a motor swap? I know you said none have low miles in your area but look around. It beats buying a car and then putting money into it right away and swapping a motor.

 

yea your motor is good for like 75,000 more miles. just mod the heck out of your motor you have now and later down the road do a 6-bolt swap. thats what im planning on doing.

 

Antlip, its the price, and the rarity index. Its hard and costly to find low mileage DSMs. Especially of the 4g63 variety. While he may not have $8k to throw down on a DSM right now, he will almost certainly have $1500 to replace the motor in the coming months.

 

I saw a GSX today at a dealership by my house with only 37k on it.
Was owned by an eldery guy who passed away and the bank repoed it.
Price... $7,200.

 

wow thats an amazing price

 

that is an amazing price... you should go buy it. that is a rare car to find!!!
