Hello,
Has anyone had any experiance with GEX.com? I'm looking at their site and I can get one of their "POWER MASTER Series VW Engines" upgraded to 96mm pistons (2100 ish cc) with an electronic balance to my door for under $3500. Seems to be a pretty good deal. What other options do I have? I'm not looking for maximum horsepower, but I'd like a bigger motor for torque and drivability. http://www.gex.com/16pwrmst.htm Thanks, Dan |

Spend the money now, or spend more later. Either way its going to be spent. The difference is how much BS, time, lies and broken parts you will have to endure.
People pay a "stupid tax" everyday.. Thats the penalty paid for making bad decisions. If you think a quality aircooled engine is expensive, just wait till you see how much a cheap one costs you~ I recently had a customer throw away 14,000.00 on an engine.. Yeah.. 14K.

Fortunately we have the ability to poll other members about their experiences to avoid duplicating the negative ones. Yep.. Before the internet these types of companies could just run a big ad, look big and throw out some bling and score all the sales they wanted. The only "Job" I have ever held was at a local import shop, back in the day we'd buy engines from German Engine eXchange that weren't too bad. Thats before the cores weren't horrible and VWs were abundant. Thats also when someone else held the reins at the company. |
