speedystew - 17/2/10 at 06:10 PM

whats it worth as a package,just decided to run the car in another championship where the cut off is 1700cc hence it may be for sale in the near future


zetec 1.8 silver top very low mileage came from LNT its done about 12 races from new (ginetta g20) ie not an old nail from a scrap car arp rod bolts 130 bhp cams etc

raceline water rail (brand new)

raceline exhaust manifold (brand new)

weber alpha ecu set up for 130 cams

inlet manifold for weber carbs etc (no carbs)

short sump from LNT

alternator kit

rs 2000 alloy bellhousing with cut sides to fit inside tunnel (brand new)

just bolt a gearbox and carbs to it and off ya go

i would say best way to get your money back is to sell it al seperately

sounds like you need a nice puma engine now


speedystew - 17/2/10 at 09:09 PM

the puma is probably the only engine i haven't tried yet

The engine itself is probably worth about £50.

Split it up and ebay all the bits.

fits the bill, very light around 85kg, 1700cc can see over 240bhp, run with some cams and on a standard inlet you will see around 155bhp, but have the issues of vct,

i use the 1600 engine in mine just rebuilding it at the moment and will see 200bhp from that, there all based on the same block

id be intrested in buying the whole lot if you do decide to sell

engine, is it the ginettea one that retails at well over £1000?????
water rail worth £100
inlet manifolds £75
sump £100+
ECU £100 easy ( i think the reatail is near £400?)
exhaust, a proper one so real money £200??
I suspect you may get the best offer within ginetta circles, I suspect this lot cost you well over £2K, possibly nearer 3.
If you want to sell it on here then yes, split the items up, the engine will be the hardest to sell as new blacktops can be had for the £500 mark, but as you say it isn't a £50 scrapper engine. Should get £100-150 but not a lot more
Maybe a package price of £750 as a guestimate. Think that may be a disappointment from all angles

your correct from all angles i am going to run in over 1700 class of the harewood championship this year. so i am thinking of either selling the lot and putting a vauxhall or duratec engine in the car or keeping the bits and building a new 2.0 zetec motor up
