Hi everyone got a 98 pulsar with a stuffed n15 engine anyone no of a rough idea of how much it would cost to put a new engine in, just a ballpark figure would be fine, thanks

N15 is the chassis number. It depends on the cost of the engine, but allow at least $1000 (including labour).

n15 is the chassis number. they had sr16's in a few variants, and a few other engines, with out knowing what engine specificly. it would be a guestimate at best

GA15DE engine sound right!

those are cheap as chips ( well not really that cheap, but quite cheap ) and are readily available, and yeah that sounds right, just be sure to buy the same year as the engine has been in production for a long long time

Yeah, that's the bugger. Very common and durable engines. Like I said, it all depends on the price of the engine. It will take around 8 to 10 hours to do the job and hopefully everything is a perfect match when it comes to wiring and manifolds etc.

8 to 10 hours!sheesh it took a similar time to pull the engine and box out of a Pulsar GTiR with just one other person helping me, and no air tools either, id say a max of 4 hours with a full service!

Yeah you can get it all out in that time no problem, we are talking removing engine and trans, separating them, , checking and changing over clutch and flywheel if its manual, perhaps whacking in a new rear main seal if needed, fitting up trans again, refitting, adding new fluids and running/checking/roadtesting, AND allowing for any problems that might arise with bits that aren't quite the same.I would certainly allow a full day at least to do that.

ahh i see, i guess as a backyard mechanic like me i just do things differently, and i wouldnt have thought of the rear main seal til someone mentioned it, but i still feel that 8 hours is a bit steep

You can lift the engine out of these separate from the gearbox, saves some time. You still must remove the drivers side axle, as the axle goes through the spacer plate between engine and trans.Prop the trans up well - or the fluid will drain out. Absolutely definitely do replace the rear main seal. Don't even think about not doing it. I'm guessing I took about 8 hours from start to finish doing a '97 pulsar with GA15DE, working alone, and needing to figure things out as I went along.There's at least an hour and a half each way for any person, just doing hoses, belts, etc, so people who say they can do the whole thing in 4 hours. well. Cost was $300&GST for a used engine, & fluids.
