My engine (Ecoboost 2015) blew up last week. It happened when I was driving out from the grocery store's parking lot. It was about 30,300 miles on it. My car had unleashed tune, K&N CAI, Mishimoto IC with pipes, UPR oil catch can, and spark plugs from Tune+. I don’t know what year the engine was built.
I went to the dealership and they told me that the estimated price for the engine installed is about $6,500. Of course, the warranty does not cover, and I am completely fine with it because I knew the risk.
I was planning on installing a new OEM engine and putting everything back to stock (except CAI because they told me CAI does not void warranty), but now I wonder if installing a built engine works better with less worries in the future by paying $2-3k more. I’m not familiar with anything about upgraded engine. I have talked with a few people via private message regarding this matter, but I’m interested in what other people in this forum think about it.
Please let me know what you think. Thanks in advance!
