#1: Buying a GTI 180 engine Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Wed Jan 28, 2015 4:02 pm ---- As per title
I have been offered a fully working engine for £150.
I would only want it for spare parts.
Is this a good price?
Thanks

Check if it is not a 138 engine (EW10J4), as those are cheap because they are in a lot of other peugeot's/citroen's. EW10J4S is a whole different engine.
The gti180 engine would benefit from porting the head, but in combination with different cams (I have 804 for sale) and a remap. With aftermarket exhaust, cold air intake and a good remap you could see around 200hp. From there on it gets expensive.
