hey guys, a guy bought an HR engine with an auto transmission. i asked him if hes willing to sell it and he said yea, hes would to trade if i pay 2500$ difference (my engine is 06 DE also 5AT). is it worth the money? do u guys have any idea how much an HR and DE costs both with transmissions? thanks

 

For 2500 Hell no

 

No.

 

Do you guys know if anyone has ever done it?

 

nah might as well go LS

go big or go home

 

Just go RB. that's the ****

 

2500 dollars for 10 hp?

 

no, actually 30hp more lol and its basically a whole different engine. many different and better parts that can hold up more when u force induct

 

But if yer gonna do that, just drop in a 3.7

 

a logical option too, why not. but has anyone done it? after all, my best option is to install a supercharger

 

Use the extra 2500 on the Vq35DE that is currently in your car...Unless it's already junk.My opinion

 

A built motor is much more reliable then a stock one if you go to a good shop. It also increases sale value as you can say it fixed oil burning issues .

 

Get a ipp longblock. They give you 1500 for your core too.

 

Yes an HR swap has been done before, so it's possible. Are you looking at a 3.5 HR or 3.7HR? A 3.7 might be worth the effort, a 3.5 probably not.

 

If you want to be technical it is 18 (280vs298) of which you will probably see 10 to the wheels. No, there is not "many" parts that can hold more when you add FI. The only real difference would be the oil pump. Other than that a non revup will hold up the same to FI as a revup.

Basically it is a complete waste of money and time to swap a working non revup for a revup.
