Used Engines For Sale-Fuel Injected

CIS is made by Bosch and has been in use since the mid 70’s on Porsche Engines ,VWs and many other European cars. It stands for Continuous Injection System, which means that fuel is continually atomized into the intake manifold just upstream of the intake valve. Fuel flow is directly controlled by airflow through a mechanical connection to an air vane which in turn moves a plunger which regulates fuel flow. Pure CIS is altitude compensating to some extent, since when less air flows, less fuel flows. You could also dispense with carb heat since there is no venturi, and the primer since the cold start valve is built in. Decreased workload is always a good thing.

Electronically controlled systems

The fuel is supplied by an electrically driven fuel pump which develops the pressure necessary for injection. The fuel is injected by solenoid-operated fuel-injection valves into the cylinder intake ports. The injection valves are controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) and the amount of fuel injected depends upon the length of time that they stay open. By means of sensors, the ECU is provided with information about the operating conditions of the engine and about the ambient conditions around the vehicle. The basis for assessing the amount of fuel to be injected is the amount of air drawn in by the engine. The L-Jetronic is an electronically controlled fuel-injection system. In the case of the L-Jetronic, the amount of air drawn in by the engine is directly measured by an air-flow sensor.

I’m very familiar with the Bosch CIS System since I own a Porsche with one of the legends of all Porsche engines, the  2.7L S engine. I bought one of the used engines from GotEngines.com. I was so happy and impressed, you can see that I am now the chief writer for their blogs because I believe in this company. They did me right. That is GotEngines.com @ 1-877-268-0664. Call us for a good education on used engines so you end up with the engine that is in your best interests.

Quality Used Engines Sales for Foreign Cars: Budget Friendly..

November 6th, 2009

Believe it or not, a few years ago I was looking at engines for my 1970 Porsche 911S.  The car had been in a restoration mode for 2 years and the old engine just would not run anymore. The piston rings lost their tension which caused no compression and the 6 Zenith Carbs were gummed up. I had a problem. Pricing out an engine from Porsche cost more than the car cost new in 1970, which was about $7000.00 dollars. I know, you probably don’t believe it, but I was there when Dr. Jaeger bought it at Manhattan Motors in Gaithersburg Maryland. I was about 17 at the time.

I only had 3 ways to go, rebuild my old engine, buy a factory rebuilt engine or buy a used engine. After pricing the Porsche engine, I immediately crossed that off my list. Doing my own rebuild was almost as expensive as buying one from the dealer. The rebuild parts are exceptionally expensive, as all OEM (original equipment manufacturers) P- Car parts are.

The hunt was on, I needed a good used foreign car engine. I spent a good 2 or 3 months searching around to find a good engine that I could afford. I mean that about 30,000 dollars was put into this restoration and I did not want to cut corners now, but I was not prepared to spend nearly $10,000 on a Porsche engine.

Another thing I was interested in was upgrading the motor from a 2.4L with the 6 carbs to a 1977 2.7L with Bosh CIS fuel injection. I always hated the carburetors. It sounds cool to say you have 6 Zenith carbs, but man, are they a a pain in my tush or what?

So after much bumbling around I located a company on the Internet who has a super buy on a 1977 2.7L RS engine with the Bosh Fuel injection. In fact, the engine had been rebuilt about a year earlier by the Porsche dealer before the car was crashed. His loss was my gain. After I got the engine it had the factory rebuild numbers on it. True to the company I bought it from, what they said was true about the engine being a factory rebuild. Apparently they checked it out first.

With that being said, the motor was shipped out from their warehouse and I got it in a few days. What was most impressive other than the time and service I was given by this company, was the price was ridiculously low, and he offered me a money back warranty if it was not what the engine was said to be.

I bought the used engine from them and it has run better than I expected, in fact it flat out has more power and speed than I have nerve to use. Now it will peg the 150 MPH speedo easily. It was my first experience with buying used engines for sale. If you are interested in who I bought the engine from, Call GotEngines.com @ 1-877-268-0664. Trust me, these guys are the best. Period.

Red Hot Deals on Used Engines For Sale..

November 5th, 2009

I’m a big fan of used engines for sale. For most practical purposes there is no better value than  good used engines with low mileage on it. Unless you have a specific requirement such as a commercial vehicle or you run a fleet service, a good used engine fills most peoples needs at unbelievable prices. Don’t get me wrong, rebuilt engines are a fine way to go as well, except they cost more. For people on a budget, used is the most cost effective value going.

Used Engines For Sale

Used Engines For Sale

My views on used engies stem from the fact that the majority of our used engines have about 40,000 miles on them, some have less and some a tad more. The point is that we spend a lot of time locating the best used engines in the USA. In the long run we have found that spending more time and money on providing a great product that builds peace of mind in our customers is actually less expensive for our consumers.

By not wasting money on sensationalistic advertising trying to provoke customers into a knee jerk reaction by buying a bad used engine, our efforts go into things such as pre testing our used engines and certifying them as a sold product you can count on anywhere you go. If they don’t meet our standards, they are rejected.

In fact our confidence level is so high we offer a really affordable and valuable labor warranty, so if you have any sort of issues with your used engines, it is covered anywhere in the USA. It builds a lot of confidence in our customers and keeps our customer service representative bored to death.

When you consider a low mileage used engine that has never had any problems or work performed on it, except for good maintenance, than you can count on it to last for a long time if you continue practicing proper maintenance. And don’t forget to use synthetic engine oil, no matter what anyone else says.

You know, when the factory manufactures an engine, the equipment is all CNC (computer numerically controlled) machine equipment. What that means is that once the settings are in order on the machinery, all functions are controlled by a computer, thus eliminating the human error. In essence, if the engine came from the factory manufactured properly, you have a solid multi-hundred thousand mile motor now. No engine rebuilder can out perform CNC equipment, and most engine manufacturers can’t afford that type of equipment.

Make sure you call GotEngines.com and discuss your needs with the most knowledgeable  specialists on engines in the business, they have plenty of time to help educate you so you buy the best used engins for your needs.

That is GotEngines.com @ 1-877-268-0664.

Used Toyota 4A-GE Engines on Sale, Affordable and reliable.

November 5th, 2009

The A Series Toyota engines are a family of straight-4 internal combustion engines with displacement from 1.3 L to 1.8 L produced by Toyota Motor Corporation. The series began in the late 1970s with the 1A, an SOHC engine with a displacement of 1.5 L. The 7A-FE was the last A engine in the family, a 1.8 L DOHC engine that produced 115 hp. Production of the 7A-FE stopped in 1998, thus ending that engine series.

The 4A-GE was one of the earliest inline-4 engines to have both DOHC 16 valves and electronic fuel injection (EFI). Toyota designed this engine with performance in mind; its twin camshafts are 50 degrees apart to allow decent power, but this sacrifices torque. This engine is very popular with racers and tuners because of its ease of modification, simple design, and lightness.

The engine was first introduced in the 1983 Trueno Sprinter AE86 and the Corolla Levin AE86 sports version. In 1988, the engine was placed in front wheel drive (FWD or FF) format as opposed to rear wheel drive (RWD or FR). The engine was retired from North American Corollas in 1991, although it continued to be available in the Geo Prizm GSi (sold through Chevrolet dealerships) from 1990-1992.

Toyota models that have had this engine:

  • Toyota MR2
  • Corolla AE86 GT-S – RWD
  • Corolla AE82 FX-16 – FWD
  • Corolla AE92 GT-S – FWD
  • SE Sedan (North America): (RWD from 1983-87 and FWD from 1988-91)
  • Some Celicas

Other Brands of cars equipped with the 4A-GE engines:

  • Chevrolet Nova (based on Toyota AE82 chassis; 1984-1988– These 4A-GE cars were exceptionally rare)
  • Geo Prizm GSi (based on Toyota AE92 chassis; 1990-1992)

What ever your brand of car, you can trust GotEngines.com has the best available engines of any caliber to match your needs and interests. Call now @ 1-877-268-0664 and ask for a free quote or get some solid advise. Our goal is to educate our customers so they make the best decisions for themselves.

Low Mileage Pre-Tested Used Engines Provide More Value..

November 4th, 2009

When you are looking at used engines for sale, you want value. If you shop at the right engine supply company a good used engine with low mileage is the best value in replacement engines today. Lets start with the fact that there are two types of used engines.

1. Low mileage used engines which are fully pre-tested and certified good. A great value.

2. The hi mileage left overs some companies try to sell as low mileage engines. A bad value.

You tell me, would you rather spend 10% more on a used engine with 40,000 miles or save the 10% and buy an old worn used engine with 150,000 miles? Please don’t answer that, I already know that if you are reading my blog than you want the great value.

The great thing about a good used engine is: at 40,000 miles it is barley broken in. And, if it never had any warranty engine work performed at the dealer, than you have a great motor and a super value. There is a lot to be said for a great running used engine that has not been worked on or messed with. Remember, most new cars are guaranteed for 100,000 miles. At least on the engine and transmission. Therefore at 40,000 miles no other repair facility should have had to do anything other than normal maintenance.

With the above thoughts in mind, it is very easy to check everything in that particular engines past using the VIN and CarFax. And that is how we outperform the competition. We do background checks on all engines for sale, and reject quite few of them. If they pass that test, then we run them through our own pre test to insure your peace of mind and build your confidence. Call GotEngines.com @1-87-268-0664 and don’t forget to ask about our exclusive and very affordable nationwide labor guarantee.

Due to the misconception most people have that used engines are not a viable option because of low quality and hi mileage.

Online research shows that there are a small amount of engine replacement companies who sell low mileage used car engines, and you may be pleasantly surprised at the results.

Would you have guessed that a company who sells used Ford motors, GMC engines, Japanese and European used engines is in an A rated company? Or that a used engine supply company could win awards for its quality and integrity? Used car and truck engines has been able to find success by filling a niche in the auto parts business. Getting the word out there that used car engines will give you a long term solution for a less price of replacing multiple single parts.

Low mileage used engines can solve plenty of problems for the car owner on a strict budget. Anyway, why would anyone want to buy a new car, when their current vehicle is in fine shape except for the engine. A new car can cost $20 to $ 30,000 and more. About 10 times give or take, more than a quality pre tested used engine with approximately 40,000 miles on it.

Chevy Engines For Sale: Vortec Engines Affordably Priced..

November 3rd, 2009

In 1996 GM introduced their new state-of-the-art line of Vortec Engines. These engines were designed to meet the combined needs of performance, fuel economy and limited emissions, and represent the evolution in engineering from carburated engines through the more advanced TBI and TPI fuel injected engines developed 10 years earlier.

Chevy Engines For Sale

Chevy Engines For Sale

Between 1996 and 1998, GM produced three basic Vortec engines: the 4.3L (V-6, 264 c.i.d.), the 5.7L (350 c.i.d.) and the 7.4L (”big block” 454 c.i.d.). Simply put, the Vortec is a Sequential Port Fuel Injection (SFI) engine, which utilizes a sophisticated computer system known as the “Vehicle Control Module”, or VCM for short, in combination with various sensors and inputs to monitor and adjust the control of the engine. Although the electronics are sophisticated and complicated for an old Gear head like me, they result in an impressive engine that is capable of performing for up to 100,000 miles without a tune-up.

The 5.7L Vortec is based on the traditional 350 c.i.d. engine originally introduced by GM, I believe in 1968. It has a 4-bolt main, cast iron block and heads, and as a short-block is not significantly different from its predecessors (differences are primarily in the design of the heads, the camshaft and the addition of block ports for the various sensors). The sequential port fuel injection system (SFI) has each injector controlled by the VCM which regulates the air to fuel mixture based on continuous readings from sensors such as the mass air flow (MAF), manifold pressure (MAP) engine coolant temperature (ECT), rpm, throttle position sensor (TPS), vehicle speed (VSS) and four exhaust sensors. The engine utilizes data from nearly 20 sensors providing information for real-time control of the engine by the VCM. In addition to controlling the air to fuel mixture, the VCM also controls and constantly adjusts an HEI ignition system, as well as camshaft retard.

The massive popularity of thiese engines has allows us to stockpile them in crates to the roof, ready for shipment. To make sure we have the engine that suits your needs the best, ask about our used Chevy engines or rebuilt Chevy engines. Our consultants will gladly spend the necessary amount of time helping you buy one the engines that fits your budget. Call GotEngines.com @ 1-877-268-0664.

Chevy Engines: Vortec 8100-8.1L Engines for Sale.

November 3rd, 2009

The Vortec 8100 (RPO L18) is a V8 truck engine. It is one of the redesigned Chevrolet Big-Block engines and was introduced with the 2001 full-size pickup trucks. It retains the same bore centers as the old 7.4 L big-blocks, but stroke was lengthened to exact 8.1L (496CID). It is an all-iron engine (block and heads) with two valves per cylinder.

Power output ranges from 225 hp to 340 horsepower and torque from 350 lb·ft to 455 lb·ft. Vortec 8100s are built in Tonawanda, New York. The Vortec 8100 is the engine used in the largest U-haul, their 26-foot truck. GM stopped installing big block V-8’s in the Silverado H.D. trucks, when the GMT-800 series was discontinued in 2007. 8100 marine engines range from 300 to 500 hp and come with a stand-alone ECM.

Realistically speaking this is a mid sized truck motor. It is also a popular marine engine. Which is why the marine engines use a stand alone ECM, as to protect it from the sea air. Electronic components don’t like sea air.

The Chevy Big Block engine is legendary amongst drag racers and street racers. No other engine lends itself to modifications better than these motors, although with fuel so expensive, less people are building the street racers.

As mentioned earlier this is a very popular marine engine. Make sure you mention that you are interested in a marine engine when you call one of our specialists. They can tell you what motors directly interchange with no problems. Most of the direct exchange engines are the same as the truck engines. The main differences are the water pumps and the exhaust manifold, which would have to be reuse anyway.

Because these are mainly commercial engines, we have them in stock and crated. We can ship the Vortec 8100 Chevy engines immediately so you can get your truck back on the road and making some money. And don’t forget that all of our engines for sale are pre tested to insure we exceed your expectations and limit down time.

Call GotEngines.com @ 1-877-268-0664 and speak with a down to earth specialist who has the time to listen to your exact needs and outfit you with a perfect match.

Chevy Engines For Sale: Vortec 4300 series..

November 2nd, 2009

The Vortec 4300 (4.3L) is possibly one of GM’s biggest achievements in engine technology. Replacing the venerable inline-six Chevrolet 250 engine, the 4300 is a junior version of the 350 V-8. It made its debut in 1985 and remains today a durable, fuel-efficient and problem-free engine. The Chevy engines named the Vortec 4300 series provide a reasonable amount of horsepower and can be found in Chevy Asrto vans and GMC Safari vans, cars and trucks.

As mentioned, it is based on the super reliable 350 or 5.7L engine. It’s integrity in design and structure make it a very desirable motor as the evidence suggests. The most popular V-6 engine in the entire GM engine line. The Vortec fuel injected engines are known for lasting forever. With a cast iron engine block and heads, it’s strength and reliability are becoming legendary.

The 4300 engine series started using the Vortec fuel injection system in the late 90’s. This very well balanced setup provides plenty of power with fuel mileage ratings that beat all expectations. Most GMC Safari Vans using the 4.3L V-6 engine get an easy 21 MPG at 75 mph. If you compare that to the gas mileage of a Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey van, you can see why many folks keep their Chevy or GMC vans instead of trading them in when the motor goes.

The GM counterparts are built on 1500 series truck chassis and will outlast the foreign van engines and chassis by nearly double. Why, because the Japanese vans are built on a car platform, which is not as structurally as strong as a truck chassis. Yes, it may not ride as silky smooth, but the mileage one can derive out of the truck chassis GMC or Chevy vans make them a great value overall.

FYI: I rented a Toyota Sienna Van last year. I was not impressed with the fuel mileage (22 mpg at 75mph) and it was not particularly comfortable.

What ever type of van suits you is a matter of personal interests. If you run into an engine problem it is not a matter of personal interest. It is a matter of locating the best engine supply company available to purchase a good used 4.3L or 4300cc engine for sale. GotEngines.com is the leading supplier of used engines in the country. We perform at a level our competitors can’t touch because we put our money and ‘love’ into our engines, not a bunch of sensationalistic advertising. Call GotEngines.com @ 1-877-268-0664 and speak with a professional who has the time to help you buy one of the Chevy rebuilt engines that is in  your best interests.
