@ FaiezCivic: Two things determine the price of a used motor....
Approximate age of the engine calculated from the year the donor car was in production.
Demand in the local market.
The 1NZ-FE / 2NZ-FE are both newer in terms of age and have more demand in the local market instead of a 4A-GE. If hp figures were used to evaluate the price tag, then the new civic's engine wouldnt cost 200K+ in comparison to an H22 available for literally half the price.
@ shezyworld: The one mentioned in this thread has been disposed off. I have another one on its way from Japan alongwith some other performance engines. Will take about 8-12 days to get here.
