^I paid $750 to the door a piece for both my VE's.

^If you go 87, just go 88 and you will love the motor with those kelfords.

Intake manifold had no darkened colorization to it. Cant beat their motors for the price and quality. The 3 ve's ive gotten from them have been just like yours. Very very clean.


Not to threadjack, thanks Ashton for your boy Ronald @ Soko. $795 + shipping, the VE didn't have any gold tint anywhere under the cover. Cleanest used motor I've had yet. Seems like we have had a good run on clean, affordable VEs as of late. Ric just do your homework on the 88mm and if you feel good about the reliability and have a source to bore out the VET gasket then go for it. If you have the funds just do it.

Yeah i get mine from him for 900 to my door but thats because ive literally bought about 20 motors from him ranging from de's, ve's, d series honda, and so on. He usually sells me the ve for 750 and the jdm de's for 325 and then 150 for shipping. Soko has freakin awesome motors for sure. I really wish i would have taken a pic of those two de motors that i had that couldnt have had 5k miles on them, literally. Like they came off the showroom and either wrecked the car or just never sold and yanked the motors. They were that clean. It was like having a brand new motor from nissan basicly, you wouldnt have been able to tell them apart.

That brand new vet motor that Sealti96 posted, yeah it looked like that but was complete with everything on it.

fuck 88, you wanna risk another problem.

these motors are finicky at best at any hp level.

you wanna risk money agian on a head gasket that were not sure is gonna work.

stay to a proven 87mm.

sorry thats just the way my ass sees it at this point.

weve done mid 230s on a 87mm bore.

if it were me, i would of dropped that 2.0 right in, put all the goodies on an went to tune. then while i enjoy that i would really go over the 2.4 with a fine tooth comb an figure out whats goin on, fix it, an try again!

but opinions are like "belly buttons" an everyones got one

i just hope that when he's done he has fun with what he's got. thats all we ever really want right?

Damn, $695 is hard to beat anywhere for a clean VE. Does it come with accessories?
