What do you mean by 'blueprinted'? As an engine building term, that means that all parts were matched, and usually goes hand-in-hand with a full tear down, which would mean new rings/bearings among other things.

It sounds like we're about to fight lol

the engine was torn down and put back together to check part integrity and such.
Yea I can find the Motorset for $3500 and a RB25 tranny for like $500-$1000. Thats $4000 with motor and tranny....
T
omei Oil Pump was $1800......
Mckinney Mounts are $1000.......

Thats already $6800........

Tomei 2mm HeadGasket was $250.......
N1 WaterPump was $175.......
HKS Timing Belt was $160.....
Timing Belt Pulleys were $150.....

Over $7000. Now if u r talented and can install all of these to save urself the labor then thats perfect. But it all still comes out to more than what Im selling the Whole swap for.....

Swap is Pending Sale BTW.........

No hard feelings too anyone. I hate fighting on Forums so lets just keep it civilized.

No fighting just wanted to be clear on what was done, because an engine that's torn down and rebuilt (even with the same OEM parts) is worth much more than an engine fresh from Japan, because you never know what condition the internals are in!

It's definitely a beast setup, and for anyone with the cash, that's as trouble-free of a swap as I think you'll find. GLWS, and gogo RBs!
