Fri, 29 July 2005 15:45 It depends on what your sons plans are, and how long you intend to keep the car. the 3sge is a fantastic engine, and well-worth rebuilding, however, it does come at a cost. I can tell you that my 3sge engine by itself is worth about $15,000 alone. with the rebuild costing half that price its a lot i know, and i'm not saying this is the way to go, but, it is effectively a new engine and will go a long way before i need to do anything else to the internals. When i blew the main bearing on the engine (at 335,000km's) i was thinking what you are thinking now, rebuilt/swap/upgrade to turbo. and what it came down to was 1. rebuild - more expensive, new engine, modified internals 2. swap for low km's - what is ACTUAL milage, why was it out of the original car? any other problems with it, clutch/water pump etc 3. turbo - open a new ball game for modifications i decided for the rebuild coz i wanted to keep it non-turbo and wanted, more than anything, a 'new' engine. howver, as a low cost option, the swap IS a good idea and depending on where it is done, can be just as effective as a rebuild [Report message to a moderator]
