951 S engine for sale - official thread
So, here's the official "Van's 951 engine is for sale" thread (so I don't hijack DDP looking for a short block).
For those that don't know, I bent my car about 5 weeks ago... I've decided to part it out and get another car (an n/a track car).
To summarize, the engine has about 13k miles on it since a complete rebuild. It's a n '88 turbo S - M52 engine code - I'm asking $3500, but if more people are interested, I'll take the highest bid (gotta fund the new car!!)
Engine is complete with the exception of the air box - that got damaged. I can include the harness, hard pipes, intercooler, etc. (in case someone is going to turbo their N/A). Computers will be sold separately.
Here's it's history since the rebuild:
115,263 miles, May 17, 2004, Rebuild engine
-New seals, gaskets and o-rings
-Copper head gasket
-New rings
-New rod and crank bearings
-New intake valves
-O-ring head
-Machine cam box with inspection holes for indexing
-Adjustable cam sprocket
-New timing and balance shaft belts
-New oil thermostat
-New turbo thermostat
-Flywheel lightened by 3 lbs and balanced
-New pilot, throwout and release fork bearings
-New throwout bearing guide tube
-New clutch hydraulic hose
-Thermal wrap on headers
-New spark plugs
-New O2 sensor
Then, oil changes at:
115,600
116,064
116,698
117,876 (with a retension of the timing belt)
119,227
121,779 (another retension of belts)
122,980 (new AFM, knock sensor and cycling valve)
123,738
124,651 (new water pump and thermostat)
125,773 (rebuilt K26/8, anneal copper head gasket, new belts, rebuild throttle body, new valve springs, new starter)
126,650
127,250
128,356
It's currently at 128,835 - mostly track miles.
The engine currently runs (see video) and makes excellent oil pressure - 5 bar cold, 3-4 bar hot at 6k RPM (on track), over 1 bar hot idling (in pits).
Right after running it for 30 seconds or so (no coolant) I did a compression test. Here are the results - cylinders 1-4:
This has been a strong reliable engine. And here's my most recent dyno run - stock boost, with and without a lindsey boost enhancer (that will come with the engine):
