Turbo engine for $200?

RckyMtnLegacy · Post by **RckyMtnLegacy** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 12:43 am

At my local salvage yard there is a turbo motor out of a 92 or 93 legacy sedan. It has been sitting outside their door after being pulled out of the shell. He wants 200 for it. Turbo is still on it will need to be rebuilt if I would even use it. Worth it if its been sitting outside. I will be rebuilding it for my rally car but is the block even worth it

Worth it! Worth it!

(If you don't get it, lemme know where it's at!)

So even if it has been sitting outside for a while?

couple years ago, i had a shop swap turbo engines for me due to a cracked piston. went back a week later, and they'd given my bad ej22t to the scrap guy!! i'm still bent about that, anyways i'd buy it!

Buy that motor. If you strip it to just the shortblock you can easily sell that for $400-500.

I'd buy it. I found a turbo EJ22T supposedly running on craigslist but the guy wanted $400 for it. With 220K miles. Which isn't a bad deal but I'm broke.

As long as this is a sealed long block you'll be fine. If it's a short block sitting outside, then you should have the cylinders bored .005 over for clean cylinder walls again.

I have a closed deck ej22t sitting around that I'm thinking about selling. I just haven't decided if I'm done with these cars or not. If I am I'll have two of them. One closed, one not.
