Interesting. A built engine EK and an ITR engine EG, each similar overall, and each listed for the same amount. The whp of the built engine (180 whp) and the itr engine (160-170whp) is even close. I would go with the EG since a rebuilt engines reliability depends largely on the rebuilder, and also since aftermarket is less reliable than oem in general. I would say they're both good deals seeing as B18c5s are around $4k.

Thanks for the advice guys. I've always been a b series motor guy myself. Msged both of em
edit: Just noticed the EG has over 300k on that chassis tho.. that will prob hurt resale value despite how clean it appears to be

I've never really given VINs any serious attention so I may well be wrong.
Can anyone confirm/clarify?

A bunch of B18C5 motor swapped EK's sold for $5K range this summer with way more goodies in the car or low low mileage.
Plus this one might be a rust bucket since it is at 300K km's.
I'll report back tonight.
