I'm getting it for my s1 from a mate 1,500 is it a good price

If the engine is a known good reliable well built unit and the management is complete with everything required to make it work then it sounds a decent price. Some people pay around that just for the management package.

mahle Pistons? With steel rods.

What camshaft is in it also? As if you need to replace that your looking at nearly Ł300.
Any turbo on it?
Also, as Bram said, Mahles on steel rods... I'm guessing it's 2.1 (86mm) they are Vauxhall Pistons, which you can get steel rods for but would probably have been a custom order as they have a small little end (21mm), but check what Vaux pistons they are as LET Pistons give too low a compression ratio on ZVH's. You need XE pistons, and the 86P serialised ones at that as those are the "squeeze cast" Pistons. Not forged, but better than standard cast.
Best way is whip the sump off and have a look at what's actually there, not what's said is there. I did when I bought my bottom end. Wouldn't hand over the cash until I'd physically checked and as they had nothing to hide they were more than happy.
I've seen a few ZVH's listed over the years claiming to run "LET" Pistons...

hi muz whats the difference between a inlet manifold that has EFI on it to the one that bees plain

muz

You'd have to put some pics up mate. A "plain" manifold could be anything. Do you mean the EFI and MFI manifolds?

Karl @ FPT

I think that sounds too cheap, as Stu said people pay that just for the management (they shouldn't but they do! lol), then there's a new crank and block, new rods and pistons, etc... Doesn't sound right to me?!
