pro's and cons ng engine swap?

[fu_man_dave]

I dont know kung existing thread na ito or what.. but ask ko lang.. what are the pros and cons of doing an engine swap?

[sirkosero]

kung upgrade ng engine, pro higher power. con higher gas consumption.

laki din gastos kasi dami ka imomodify. plus pag bumili ka ng surplus engine, di ka sure sa condition ng engine. baka after 1 week eh blowby na din yan. papalitan mo pa din lahat ng belt so dagdag gastos. baka magkaproblema ka din sa rehistro dahil dagdag paperworks yan.

depende sa makina, pwede ka mahirapan maghanap ng piyesa.

pag kinabit mo at tinipid mo, pwede ka madisgrasya. kung tamad ang mekaniko na nagkabit o hindi sanay, pwede ka din madisgrasya. kung sobra lakas ng makina, pwede naman magshear ang chasis mo.

there were some of the considerations we had when we were pondering on getting an engine swap before. we overhauled the engine para less hassle with reliablity issues. hth

kung bolt-on, electricals nalang prob mo..kung same engine no probs, rehistro lang..

check mo ung engine magdala ka ng pinakatitiwalaang mo mekaniko.

Depends on why you want to do an engine swap. Some folks swap in a newer engine when they do not want to invest anymore in repairing their present engine.

Some do it for more engine power.

Cons?

If you slap in an engine that was not designed to be a 'bolt on' application for your vehicle, watch the resale value drop like a hot potato. That is unless you put in a very expensive engine, was very meticulous with the backyard engineering part or both.

Wiring is the trickiest part in an engine swap. Make sure the one connecting them is a true specialist, because bad wiring will result to undesired operation and decrease in engine life.

By the way, what car and what engine will you change it into?

Pros:

It could be cheaper to buy a new engine than to overhaul the existing one, especially kung same engine lang ang ipapalit.

You can get a newer engine.

Cons:

Hit or miss ang pag-bili ng engine unless bubuksan mo bago mo bilhin, which I doubt kung papayagan ka.

Kung hindi pareho ang mounting points, magpapa-gawa ka pa ng kabitan.
