I got an email from Design 911 in the UK who are offering a 997turbo engine for sale? 15000 pounds sterling or $29460 !!!!

Watch out you dont blow yours up at this cost, I guess that is out of a wreck at that price too?

 

Thats cheaper than I thought it would be. When BMW had to replace my engine in my E46 M3 because of a manufacturing defect the bill was $16K. One of the reasons I am hesistant to mod because BMW was looking for every reason to not pay for the job then and mods would have definitely come back to haunt in that situation.

 

I think it's like 51k to repalce the TT motor in the 997.

 

I just ran the numbers in my Porsche system, 997 TT re-man motor goes for $20,839.40 list with a $11,046.83 core cost.

 

Hmm, that is not bad. If you holed a case I couldn't rebuild it for cheaper than that.

 

Stephen, thats what i thought, i was suprised how cheap it was.

 

Sure wasn't that way with the old stuff. Thanks for the info.

 

I thought a GT3 engine runs about 40k, how can a TT motor be 1/2 price?

 

according to my Porsche system a 997 GT3 re-man motor lists for $21,452.44 with a core price of $11,046.52, so they are very close in price, which again suprised the hell out of me when i checked this for you guys.

 

I guess I was thinking of new prices, if you could even buy a 'new'/nonre-man motor.

 

Chris if its a new GT3 motor you are looking at $46,433.71, but of course they are not available from Porsche

 

core price means cost? or just the engine core?

 

if you buy a re-man motor the core price is what you are required to pay if you do not return your old motor, but if you buy a re-man and return your "core" engine you do not pay that price

 

Interesting info Jay. Not as bad as first thought. Still steep but more realistic. In other words what Design 911 are offering is on the steep side?

 

compared to a U.S. Porsche dealer yes they are on the steep side, but still thats not to bad.
