Up for auction is a incredible 3.3 litre Turbo engine with all the right upgrades. I bought this vehicle because the previous owner had spent Thousands converting it to a real Turbo Cab clone. All factory parts were used right down to a 930 suspension and brakes(including the torsion tube).
Well enough about the car ,I'll get back to the good stuff .The engine(still in the car) is a late 80's 3.3 that has been rebuilt and upgraded well.For starters a crank fire ignition was installed followed by a over sized inner cooler with a C-2 Turbo inlet hose and Euro injection That is the top half.Moving on to the bottom half .A complete B+B stainless header system with heater boxes,a K-29 Turbo and a dual out let muffler with 3" tips(B+B as well).I have talked to a few porsche racers and they tell me that with this set up it is good for a solid 400HP,but my problem is my wife would like to drive this car as well and with this engine configuration the car is just to fast for her.I have the paperwork for all the upgrades which were performed by a well known NJ Porsche repair facility that total GBP 5000 and that does not even include the cost of the engine it self.I would like to sell the engine and install a 3.2 engine so the car can be driven on a daily basis. So if you are looking for a super fast and reliable engine for a winter project you have sitting around or just a upgraded replacement engine for your tired 3.3 look no further.You have found it.Please note that I would like to sell this engine outright but I am interested in Porsche related trades and that this engine is offered for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.******Also available is the 4 speed transmission (rebuilt).******
Sounded good so I fired of a quick email:

[FONT=arial, verdana"]Hi I have some questions about the engine.
Were the pistons and cylinders replaced during the rebuild?
Was the case split and crankshaft bearings etc replaced?
What is the current compession ratio?
How many miles on it since the rebuild?
Has it been dyno'd?
Thanks for your time, sorry about the many questions but I am interested.

This is the reply:
Hello,
The price what i`m ready to sell the supercharger is 2000 GBP.This is the complete setup, there is NOTHING that you will need extra to get this on your Porsche.Unlike other which seem complete but really require a lot of extra fabrication and extra parts, this is absolutely COMPLETE. This is NOT a cheap "Cosmetic" piece that makes noise and looks cool. Installation may take around 8 or 10 hours. It is ready to install but i strongly advise you to use a professioal mechanic.The person doing the installation should be familiar with supercharging fundamentals and have a good mechanical aptitude.I will include some instructions and outline.
Shipping will be around $ 100.00 U.S. (if you are located in United States or any other country`s, if you are in United Kingdom it will be 30 GBP) and you will receive the package in maximum 3 working days. As for the shipping i hope you will agree to split the taxes, i think it is fair to pay both for the shipping fees.
So if you decide to buy it please get back with your best offer and if i accept it we start the transaction. Because we are talking about alot of money here i want to complete the transaction through eBay protection, in this way we'll be both protected. For this i will need your full shipping informations in order to contact eBay to setup a guaranteed and protected transaction. As soon as i recive your shipping informations i will forward them to eBay and they will send you an aw-comfirmation invoice regarding how will be complet this transaction in safe mode. If you require more details please feel free to e-mail me. I am looking forward to hear from you!
Hmmm so I wrote back:
Hi thanks for your reply.
From the advert I thought the whole engine was for sale....??
Could you please clarify what are you selling, a supercharger or a turbocharger?
Any chance of viewing what's on offer?
I am still interested and would prefer to meet you and pay cash as I live
in London and as you say, its a lot of money to do on online transaction
Thanks again, Adrian

Hello,
For sale i have only the engine.Please don't worry because i am not new on eBay, i had another user I.D. in the past which was: mousemjg (168) , as you can see i had over 170 transactions on the site and they are all positive. My old user was stolen ( i never did figure out just how they did it ) and someone tried to use it in fraudulent activities. Immediately i contacted Square Trade service in order to remove it from eBay. Now i made a new one and that's why i didn't have feedback yet. I registered again, they verified me, i even gave them my bank account and all the details and from now on i will make the deal only through eBay Protection.
Sounds like a scam to me..
