Do’s and don’ts in buying a surplus engines

Posted date: July 27, 2010

YOU HAVE an old car, like an A31 RWD Cefiro, a beat-up Honda Civic EG hatchback or an LXi EK sedan, a B13 or B14 Nissan Sentra, an AE92 or AE101 Toyota Corolla, maybe a Mitsubishi Galant or Lancer that’s gathering dust faster than you can drive it. You can sell it and hope the amount is worth a down payment for your next car. Or if you’re like me, and thousands of enthusiasts out there, you can give your old car a second lease on life by swapping in a different engine, preferably a more powerful, high-performance engine that makes your old car enjoyable and exciting again to drive. Surfing the ’net, talking to car clubs that cater to your vehicle type and reading popular car-tuning magazines will give you an idea of what engine you can install in your car. It’s not something new, but it’s only now gaining attention in the mainstream. Here are some tips to consider when buying a surplus engine to transplant into your car.

1 Make sure the importation papers, clearances and the seller’s license are complete.

The seller must present complete documentation for your engine, and must be a licensed importer and reseller of surplus engines from Department of Trade and Industry and Land Transportation Office. Otherwise, you won’t be able to register your car with its new engine.

2 Make sure the engine is in decent shape.

Open the oil filler cap, and inspect it underneath. If there are solid oil formations or crud underneath, that’s a bad sign that the previous owner didn’t change oil regularly. Check the coolant water-necks. Rust and corrosion marks mean the previous owner didn’t use the correct distilled water and coolant mix, or the engine’s been sitting in the yard, exposed to the elements. Inspect the cylinder head cover, the main engine oil crankshaft pulley and oil pan for oil leaks to give you an idea of what you need to repair/replace. Also, make sure the oil pan is not deformed.

3 Make sure the engine assembly is complete.

A typical surplus engine package should include the engine, alternator, a/c compressor, transmission, instrument gauge cluster, engine-control unit (ECU) and a complete, uncut, unclipped, non-frayed wiring harness. Pay particular attention to the condition of the harness and the ECU. If both are corroded, frayed or look damaged, ask for another engine set, or for the seller to replace the ECU and wiring harness. Lastly, make sure the wiring harness plugs onto the ECU, and that the ECU is the correct one for the engine. Research on the ’net for the correct part number of the ECU that matches your engine. If parts like the a/c compressor, alternator and transmission are missing, ask for a bigger discount on the price. But don’t get an engine without an ECU and wiring harness, it will be difficult to source them separately unless you have a ready source for it.

4 Prepare to replace some parts regardless of engine condition.

Once you install the engine into your car, you’ll need to absolutely change consumables such as:

a.) Engine oil

b.) Engine oil filter

c.) Fuel filter

d.) Air filter

e.) Spark plugs

f.) Engine coolant

You’ll probably need to run an engine flushing chemical for the coolant and oil so you get rid of all the rust in the coolant passages and oil lines. Motul sells a good engine oil flush chemical. Another way is to run a semi-synthetic or full mineral diesel engine oil high in detergents to clean out the engine’s innards for 2-4 hours worth of use. To do a really thorough job, remove the oil pan, clean it as well as the oil pick-up thoroughly and replace the oil pan gasket.

There are other parts needing to be replaced regardless of condition and these are:

a.) Water pump and gasket

b.) Coolant thermostat

c.) Valve stem seals

d.) Radiator hoses

e.) All clips, clamps and rusted screws

f.) All belts (timing belt, accessories belt, serpentine belt, etc.)

g.) All belt tensioners and bearings

h.) Main engine crankshaft seals

i.) Camshaft seals

j.) Ignition cables

k.) Oxygen sensor/s

l.) Fan clutch mechanism (if your engine uses a mechanical clutch-type cooling fan)

These are the parts that usually fail or get damaged once a surplus engine is installed and started up since these are old or have been exposed to the elements when sitting in storage for a long time. If you don’t change these parts, your engine can overheat, run overly rich, idle improperly and run poorly overall. Prolonged use will cause serious damage to your engine, increasing your cost, hassle and blood pressure.

5 Before embarking on your automotive adventure, look for a specialist shop knowledgeable in the engine and vehicle swap you plan to do.

A good shop can install the engine professionally and can advise you on where to buy your engine and other parts, or provide it for you themselves. They will also have a complete manual and wire harness diagram so that on the electrical side, you’re covered completely.

When looking for a place to buy surplus engines, the popular places to search are in Banawe St. in Quezon City, Evangelista St. in Pasay-Makati Boundary, Marcos Highway along Cainta-Antipolo, Ortigas Extension between Pasig and Cainta and Aguinaldo Highway just off Bacoor leading to Dasmariñas, Cavite. Surplus shops line these streets, so take your time, bring a friend and look around.

Lastly, don’t be cheap. Change the small parts and consumables that need to be changed, get it done right the first time, and drive it carefully once your car is up and running for a short period of time to check and observe your car’s behavior. Once everything checks out, enjoy your car in good health!

well ganyan talaga sir when it comes to buying pre used cars. hindi na talaga mawawala ung sakit ng ulo. eheheh except nalang sa mga fresh and wala masyado prob na units. ang sakit kase ng ulo mo kung hindi sa unit mismo eh nasa papers naman (e.g. change of ownership, changed engine etc). me and my wife had to let go of our kia carnival kase sobra na sakit ulo ko sa engine my wife kase bought our car na di alam na flooded ung unit. trusted naman nya ung nagbenta kase ninong ng parents nya sa kasal yet hindi parin sinabi ung prob. hay pilipino nga naman hehehe

now we're planning naman na bumili ng montero sport. pero plan palang ehehe

ask ko lang ano2 ba mga nagiging sira kpg binaha ung sasakyan?tulad nung bagyong ondoy?
 
Hello mga ka symb!

Lately nakita ko na yung bagong labas na Montero na GTV ay meron palang F1 style paddle shifters. I'm just wondering kasi nababasa at napapanood ko sa i'net na yung mga kotse na ganito yung style ng transmission nila ay mahirap gamitin sa traffic, yung tipong stop-and-go although maganda syang gamitin especially in the highways and long trips kasi parang combination ng manual at automatic ang feeling sabi nila. You have the engine and power delivery na kagaya sa manual while at the same time hindi na kailangang umapak sa clutch pedal kagaya ng automatic.

Tanong lang po, ano po ba ang pinagkaiba sa driving experience liban sa nabanggit ko between ng F1 style transmission at Manual transmission? Is it more convenient kumpara sa manual trans in terms of stop-and-go dito sa maynila especially sa traffic? Is it more convenient? Paano po yung fuel economy? I was told by the sales agent na same lang dw yung fuel consumption ng identical model with different transmissions, mga 10 to 12 kms. per liter pero alam naman po natin na mas malakas yung auto trans sa gas. Ganun po rin po ba sa Semi-auto na ito?

Kung meron pa po kayong gustong i'share, Maraming salamat po in Advance..

kapag flooded car kase sir ang magiging sira nyan is electrical; IMHO ung makina kahit bagong lubog sa baha pwede kagad paandarin yan (palitan lang ng mga oils and filters) kaso masisira din kagad dahil nga magrurust din ung parts ng engine such as rocker arm etc. sa interiors naman magrurust din ung upuan (metal parts) kahit anong detail gawin lalabas at lalabas din ang mga sakit ng flooded car.

ika nga sa madaling salita. hindi lang sakit sa ulo kungdi sakit din sa bulsa :slap: hehehe


kaya when buying cars na secondhand dapat may dala kayo na magaling na mekaniko..

or kung ako sa inyo buy nalang ng brand new. :)

ung mga triptronic,sportronic na transmission un ung combination ng matic at manual without clutch..ang difference kc ang automatic depende sa apak mo automatic syang magshift up at shift down kpg gamit mo ung manual triptronic or sportronic transmission pede mo controlin ung revolution ng sasakyan bago mo ipasok sa another gear pero ewan ko lang sa ibang sasakyan kc sa mazda 3 kunyari nsa 3rd gear ka tapos gamit mo ung sportronic/triptronic kpg bumaba ung speedometer in a specific speed nagaautomatic downshift sya kht hndi mo ginagalaw ung paddle or knob kht gamit mo ung sportronic pero kpg upshift ikaw bahala kung kelan mo isishift up ung transmission mo. pero sa totoo lang depende un sa sasakyan may malakas tlga kumunsumo ng gas kht pareho pa silang automatic dahil sa pagkakagawa ng makina nila lalo na ung mga sport type ung mga vvti na double overhead cam..pero sympre alam nman natin na mas malakas kumain ng gas ang automatic.

yup, pero ang kagandahan ng corolla ko is kaya namin pinalitan ung ibang parts eh kasi palitin na talaga mga original parts pa ng toyota denso pati panbelt, kaya ng na palitan na lahat, di naman umabot ng 15k, aun parang pang stock racing mas nag improve pa ngaun ng palitan ko ng after market parts, ang nakaka irita nalang talaga is ung sakit na talaga ng corolla ung mga ingay sa ilalim, not totaly kalampag, kundi kalabog ang naririnig ko, hehehe
