How much would you pay for this spec engine? I have bought this one and jst wanted to see if it was a bargain or not. And would you buy it knowing all the work that has been done?.
C16XE Cylinder Head - Full strip down, de-coke, skimmed, valves lapped in, new valve stem oil seals, new camshaft oil seals.
X16XE Bottom End - Full strip down and chemically cleaned, bores honed, crank polished, full new bearing set, new piston rings, new crank oil seals.
The engine was treated to a full gasket set, new water pump, new timing belt and new auxillary belt
Engine Spec:
C16XE Cylinder Head
X16XE Bottom End
CR 11.0
Mantzel Powerbox
Dastek Unichip
ARP Connecting Rod Bolts
Drilled Airbox with K&N Panel Filter
Magnecore HT Leads
Before the rebuild the power output was 130bhp @ 6500rpm with 116 lb.ft of torque at 5500rpm. The engine will come with an F15 Gearbox, Driveshafts, ECU, Loom and all Ancillaries.
Wats your opinions?

if its the same one as i think it is i think you would of payed around £500 mark, but imo its worth a lot more just down to the hours spent into it.

Yep i payed 500 for it.. And imo i think thats quiet cheep.. For example the mantzel is worth a fair bit on its own..
Wt do you think i should do next with it? Cams,pullys, or maby a stand alone managment? Or should i jst re- map it? I have a 4-2-1 manifold de-cat and a full blue flame system to go on.. Wt would you do with it.. And wt would you estimate the bhp would be?

If it was my engine I'd get some vernier pullies, decent cams and some proper management.

All depends on what cams, management and revs you go for.
Thats whats possible with a mantzel.

Torque is shown on the graph.
Dastek Unichip is like a piggyback ecu, modifies the signals going into the standard ecu.
To get that performance I had a 284 9.25mm intake cam and a 304 8.75mm exhaust cam, solid lifters, 4-1 exhaust with 750mm primaries.
