Default is this a real good spec engine ?(cvh)

been offered a new engine to put in my mk4 cabby and just wondered what you all thought to this spec and what sort of power could be had out of it

also it seems very cheap to me.

here it is :

its a efi cvh (fezzy turbo lump)

The engine had a full rebuild 2000 miles ago over sized pistons 0.5 and new bearings oil & water pumps new cam kit and all gaskets + new T4 turbo
3.1 actuater

ive asked for more details on this i.e head work ect. also asked for proof of rebuild and new parts (paper work for it) and who it was built by.

it also comes with full wiring loom and ecu everything to get it going all for the sum of ......
........£600

is it worth it ?

Guessing its one of those cheapy T4s from Ebay, my mate had one on his CVH. Came on boost nice and early

Does sound good for the money, cant really go wrong for £600.

ECU and loom is worth £150! (assuming it's Fiesta Turbo)

i thought something fishy was going on. i just asked him a million questions about it and in a matter of 2mins he says its now sold .

why do people have to go over the top on things to try and rip you off

no one would weigh out that cash without checking it was what he says it was

oh well no big deal ive already got a engine only was interested coz it was cheap . seems not genuine lol

some strange people about

Re built engine with t4?

Would dependd on what kind of "T4" it is.

Have a look at the prices on links bellow.

it was through a add on ebay the bloke was breaking up a efi turbo escort and i asked about ecu and map sensor as that what i need to finish mine off and he comes back with this email :

"The engine had a full rebuild 2000 miles ago over sized pistons 0.5 and new bearings oil & water pumps new cam kit and all gaskets + new T4 turbo
3.1 actuater
I'm selling the full engine with the EFI wiring loom that only has 3 wires to connect to start the engine also with the ecu
I'm asking £600"

I wouldnt even say it was a T3, the compressor looks big, Probably a truck turbo LOL

Edit : Its got a spacer between the turbo / manifold, so that shows the comp is to big.....
