Friends,
We have many threads and advice here on engine swap. Most of the advice is to 'contact so and so tuner and he will do the needful'.
I know one can always visit old parts market to look out for used engines when considering an engine swap. However, info about getting new engines is somehow not available. I know that abroad one can procure a new engine by mail order itself
.
The questions I have is:
- What are the options available for auto-enthusiasts for putting in a 'new' engine.
- Where does one get a 'new' engine from? from the dealer or directly from the company?
- What's the process of getting one? Can we order one at a company authorized service center?
- What kind of costs are we looking at? It would help if we can list the costs of various common engines available. For example, what would a NEW 1.6 L Baleno Engine cost(assuming it is still available)
- RTO process
Please add more questions/info about getting new engines here.
PS: Mods, Don't know if a similar thread exists. I tried searching for one but could not find one. Please merge/move if necessary.
