No, pumps, alternator, etc... can get ecu for additional cost.
Just fyi most people buying a fte also want the gas pedal , transponder with ignition switch and key , full wiring harness and ecu and a few more small parts that I can't think of right now . I sold several of these and it is a royal pita to get the small stuff people need to make these run unless they are forking out big bucks for a stand alone wiring harness . Awesome engines though I have one in my personal HDJ100 with a manual trans behind it .
Yeah, I can get any of those things very easily!
If they are easy for you to get then you might just want to include them for your customers as for them it’s not that easy to find these parts .
Absolutely. If I'm looking, I'm looking for all of it because I'm in the US and I'm converting a gasser. If it's more money, quote the price all-in.
Can get any parts someone wants for their application. Would be NICE to have someone just ask for what they are interested in, what parts they need or want........ instead of poeple like you complaining about what I have for sale and telling me about how it isn't "right". You aren't looking for a motor, your just trolling for reasons to put people down. Move on.
Lots of people spending $8k+ without this information have plenty of sense. That said, happy to provide that to anyone who is truly interested and not just trolling to complain. Move on.
I can't speak for anyone else, but for my part I AM interested in doing this swap at some point... that's why I occasionally look through this section. I wouldn't be surprised if most US based potential customers are going to be in the same boat: looking to swap a 1HD-FTE into something that didn't originally have one. To that end, most of us are are going to be looking for all of the parts to make it go. Sorry if that's not an actual list, but I've mentioned several items, @joekatana mentioned more and the things @OGBeno mentioned would also be necessary to me before I would be willing to fork out thousands of dollars. I don't think anyone is trying to troll, but this is a community: the people asking for details and clarification are trying to make sure that deals that happen here are a positive experience for everyone.
I don't see where anyone said anything that was an attack. I certainly didn't intend my posts as an attack, just requests for clarification and advice that he might want to include certain parts to allow a typical american buyer to actually use the engine.
There’s trolling and there is sharing information of several decades of selling engines here . Getting a fte is easy and cheap in most overseas locations but getting all the small stuff is hard and expensive. It would be great to see you offer the complete package so people can run these without the neccesity of spending money on additional parts . Again great engine but to run them as is there are additional parts required and it would be nice to see a complete package deal being offered as that is something very hard to find from foreign sellers .
Yeah, T, FT, FTE. Difference is just max HP really. The ecu gives the motor more tunability that just pump, injectors and turbo so you can get an extra 75 hp out of the fte over the ft. But.......with ft, no wiring, just mechanicals! Fts are impossible to find, but FTE is plentiful and converting back isn't hard.
