Really....$1,100 for the engine with a turbo...not including the tranny?? or including it?? Well either way that's not bad.. *now would I buy the engine, turbo, and tranny separate or together ?? I've had problems finding 7a-fe engines that weren't in major accidents or that have loww enough milles on it. And I can do this with a 7a-fe?? *
* * I know the engine in my celica now (7a-fe) has a rod knock...I'm not sure if anything else is bad...I mean I'll replace most the old tubing, the oil pump, most of the gaskets and that kinda crap but if I were to put in a 7a-fe turbo will the parts already in my car fit since it's the same motor, and if not what things would I have to change?? * Also, I wasn't ever really into cars before now, so I don't have much of a clue of the price range for things... how much would you think (besides the engine, turbo, and tranny) all the other parts would total around...give or take a few hundred.. * *I feel bad asking you all these questions...I really appreciate all the help!! *My bf and his dad are into cars just not celicas...so they know most of the basics just not the exact details that I need to know before I decide what to do.. *especially with the liminted money I have.
