    Default need new engine, does anyknow know .....

    ok so after getting my car looked at today for what i thought was a smokey turbo, i couldnt have been more wrong .. turns out 3 of the 4 cyl are at less than 90 pounds so i need a new engine

    i dont really want to do a rebuild as im not chasing power so it seems a waste of cash to strengthen everything for daily use

    my question is will a cx7 ( turbo) engine be a direct fit as they are the same engine and nearly half the price
    ie: are the engine mounts the same and will everything line up, i guess what im asking is will it be a ' plug and play' type situation or will work have to be done to get it to fit and run as it should ? as i cant find a definitive answer online anywhere ?

    any help or advice is appreciated

    Might be worth trading in and buying another MPS

    Thats where I got my motor from. For the price you would have paid you could of rebuild your own motor, just saying.

    There are some people on here that have had forged built motor done for around $5000, parts for a build cost about $2500.

    I got both o2 sensors , cluster and engine with everything for $5k landed with 100,000 less Kms on it than mine , rebuild was god only know how much as who knows what damage is actually done until it's cracked open , plus it's my daily so I don't want it off the road for too long

    Having said all that there will be some stuff for sale once the new engine is in ie; stock turbo with less than 10k on it , ex mani , intake mani, hypertech, k&n Sri
