An Alternative To The Current High Cost Of Replacement Engines by TRYGO(m): 10:28pm On Feb 13, 2021 |
Hi guys! It's been a long time lurking over here. Some of you can agree with me that, costs of replacement engines have astronomically risen sharply, from last year, and has continued, even in this new year. But the common denominator I have realised from almost some car owners, who have got to replace their engines/transmission system's, is that from their market surveys, engines that costs #200,000 naira now, have suddenly gotten to #300,000, while some like the 2gr engines in some Toyota vehicles, are now ABOUT #500, 000. With the terrible increases in the prices of goods and services, there are viable options to engine replacements, if you can't afford a replacement engine. Some owners, have parked their vehicles at home, because of the economic nightmares currently ravaving people. So what is that alternative? It's simple. YOU CAN REBUILD WHATEVER SORT OF ENGINE YOUR VEHICLE COMES WITH, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR MECHANIC/FRIENDS, etc tell you. People would always tell you, "hey don't try it. It won't last! Why not buy another replacement engine"?. Anyone telling you that, is either a novice, or is a vector that propagates such myth. Some of the engines we've rebuilt or brought back to life, includes the following but not limited to them: 1. Honda Accords(evil spirit, EODs, ..) K24, J- series, R40, etc. 2. Toyotas 4runner 2006s(1gr); 2AZ, 2TR, 2ZZ Corollas, 2gr RAV4 V6 and all engine models 3. Nissan/Infinities Nissan Murano/Pathfinders/FX35/FX45/Nissan Amanda, etc Thanks for reading, and contributing to this write-up.

@flootinit. Yes, Al engines can be rebuilt. Any engine can be rebuilt, no matter their engine compositions (aluminum+aluminum; aluminum+cast; or cast +cast ). Hope this answers your question. |

TRYGO: Simply using the right engine oil weight and recommended coolant will avoid this entirely.But the reprobate mind of most car owners leaves them in this predicament . 1 Like |

Re: An Alternative To The Current High Cost Of Replacement Engines by TRYGO(m): 12:41am On Feb 15, 2021 |
@seanfer. 1. For a quote, that depends on the degree or state of your engine. 2. 4cylinders = 1 week; 6/8cylinders 1.5week, with a year's guarantee. 3. Yes you can switch to synthetic, depending on the current mileage on the car, and degree of year and wear. PS: You can also use your AC system, just in case. I hear people say it's impossible to use your AC system on a rebuilt engine. |

Midoda. Wrong. I have seen engines I have worked on, that have been religiously maintained, that had engine issues. |
Re: An Alternative To The Current High Cost Of Replacement Engines by Midoda: 7:13am On Feb 15, 2021 |
TRYGO: Hmmn,can you please share the cause of those engine issues because apart from factory defects i don't see how a religiously maintained engine will have issues. Pls i am open to learning. |
Re: An Alternative To The Current High Cost Of Replacement Engines by bigx(m): 7:37am On Feb 15, 2021 |
Midoda: Engines are man made with moving parts. Anything with continuously moving parts would have issues. Maintenance just makes them last longer 7 Likes |

Trygo I believe you're in Lagos, how do you intend attending to people outside your location? |
Re: An Alternative To The Current High Cost Of Replacement Engines by TRYGO(m): 8:21am On Feb 17, 2021 |
@mayor555. Here are the options: 1. You can waybill the engine down to Lagos for the rebuild, and subsequent returns 2. If you're not THAT FAR FROM LAGOS, you can drive down, or we book an appointment to have it rebuilt at your location. Please remember this would come with extra charges, working outside LAGOS. @homeboy. You're right, but I just made a general statement. Alot of people here, have been calling as regards engine rebuilds. I tell them, as long as their mechanics are competent, and can source for parts, no problems. @bigx. Out got it the basics explanations perfect. One love dude! |

Are you the one that will rebuild it or you just collect the contract and outsource and supervise. I think ikenna use the last approach too. |

Hello, are you still available in this field? |
Re: An Alternative To The Current High Cost Of Replacement Engines by jpride(m): 12:39am On Jan 21, 2023 |
Why not give us a price range for rebuilding an engine so that we know what to do especially those outside Lagos. Mine is a 2AZ Toyota Corolla Verso, no smoke but shorts oil. How much will it cost if I bring it to Lagos or if you come to Asaba Delta State? I just need a professional touch |
Re: An Alternative To The Current High Cost Of Replacement Engines by Conner44: 9:59am On Jan 21, 2023 |
jpride: Hold N100k - N150k for the rebuild. Remember it’s with original replacement parts only. |
