Well look @ this. same position here as my altis 1.6 3zzfe needs a new motor.
Called around and visited a few places for the motor. Bicks in Penal recommended a 1zzfe motor and wants for the cheapest, $8000 for head and block alone and the place next door in the same compound wants $10000 for head and block alone and $14000 for a complete motor. A mechanic was at the site and explained to me that from his experience of rebuilding altis motors, it would cost you alot cheaper which would set you back by about $5000.
They, the Bicks workers informed me that the 1zzfe 1.8 motor would be replaced bolt for bolt and wire for wire. However my mechanic informed me that the ECU/brain of the car is already mapped for a 1.6 motor and would need remapping.
Phoned D&D Autos world and they want $23000 for the complete motor and Gazali @ Chariville doesn't have the motor.
Will update the post when I visit Bamboo tomorrow.
