Hey all, a friend told me today that some compnay is selling off a 3sge for 500 bucks, and said it was a 2 ltr "performance version" (non turbo) of my car. I assume he's talking about a 3sge. He said it had been worked a little and was 145kw at the engine. I am wondering is this a stock sorta power output, or would it have been done up a bit to do that? Would it be a straightforward installation and how long should it take and what should i expect to pay a mechanic? How much of a difference will it make when i am driving and put my foot down? Is there any sites with good specs on it, i remember it redlining at 7,000rpm, when is the best spot to change? Will my fuel consumption change much?
Sorry for all the questions but i wanna know because it's a lot of money to me but i can afford it. My current engine/car has 275,000km on it and is going really good but it's a shit load of k's for sure, the new one is apparently "new coz it got rebuilt" or something. Anything else i should ask or watch out for?
