Do you think 4200$ is too much for a remanufactured, 3 year warrantied performace built KA24DE?

I want to start as strong as possible with this motor before I start with the whole turbo charging etc...

help me here.  If not this, then what?!

I need this engine to out last me.....

That is a waste of money.  You could get one with around 50-60,000 miles for about $500. then you would have $3700 to buy new pistons, rods, balanced crank, clutch, etc....and even pay some guy to install them for ya!  with $3700 you could make an engine that could hanld a lot of power....well, you may nee a little more but you get the idea

It is way too expensive..

Buy my KA for 300$+shipping (it has 133k) and rebuilt it the way you want: it will NEVER sum up to 4200$!

if you have a SOHC you can buy the short block for 800 bucks from www.realnissan.com that cmoe with forged pistons etc, just buy new gaskets etc and you have bad ass engine ready for turbo for cheap
