Really? i hate that when its done. Poor fitting kits are done like that as they are "poor fitting". I much prefer proper fitting panels that can be removed as stock. For instance you can remove the back bumper. But if blended you could not. Anyway shane, looks good but exhaust position needs sorting !

i need to speak to the company who built it to make sure they are happy with me saying. It wasnt officially built in there workshop. But it was still built by one of the owners. Not that i see it matters for the moment, but what i can tell you is there are a well known company with some well over 1000bhp supra / skyline engines along with 7 second drag cars let alone the race back ground. As for titanuim i think thats what was said. Manifold is a metal blue colour. Not painted but the metal looks like a blue colour.

?????? i dont know what its worth. Im guessing. The point in the thread was in the hope that people in the know could say its worth £1k / £5K / £10k etc. I have come up with my price by searching second hand parts on here and some guess work of new parts costs. I removed build costs and guessed engineer costs as suggested. So i end up with a guess of £7200. Im hoping someone will say that is cheap and i know i have a bargain or for someone to say that is to much....... there is a same spec engine here for cheaper.

i get £7200 without including build costs and engineer work. As this engine has not been run is it fair to remove build costs and engineer work? if i brought teh bits seperate i would still need it put together? i can understand taking money of after it had been used but this is new? Still i will offer £7200 and see what he thinks.

I think the turbo , exhaust manifold, inlet plenum is worth not far of 2.5K ? If we was to do some maths i would say the parts in the engine are around 2.5K also ? Then the actual engine and all the bits must be worth 1k ? Build cost with machine work / gaskets etc maybe £1500 ? Water / methanol injection + NOS system maybe £1200? So i would guess £8000 ? would that sound fair? to much or to cheap?

No Warranty as not every part is new for one and also all parts not supplied by the builder. Do tuners gives out a warranty on a engine like this then? What about if not supplied parts/ installed / serviced / Mapped by them? ( i can see this being a difficult claim if something did fail) A top Skyline tuner was involved with the build. They have a couple of well over 1000bhp engines. But i will keep that to myself for time being as dont want someone knowing where the engine is and buying lol Its not for sale as such. Well not advertised. PUT IT THIS WAY...... its my cousins engine. I would like it for myself and he has said "find out how much its worth and make me a offer". He dont need to sell it but he dont really have the money to finish the actual car off any time soon. He has the opportunity to invest money in better places and then come back to supra ownership. HENCE im asking what its worth on here.

How much does a Gt4088r turbo unit (re cored) with exhaust manifold and inlet plenum + throttle body fetch normally?

How much does a Gt4094 turbo unit (re cored) with exhaust manifold and inlet plenum fetch normally?

yes stock main caps and bolts. Who makes after market main caps and bolts? i was under the impression that they was the best bet? I presume the block has to be sent off to have them machined to the block then? How many people have had them fail?
-
guess not a lot then LOL

hi, I know skyline prices but far from up to date on supras. What should i expect to pay for a complete engine ready to drop in with a high spec including turbo etc? Spec is- Fully rebuilt ( zero miles ) 2jzgte ACL race bearings ARP bolts including head stud kit Eagle rods Wiseco pistons (86.5mm) and gaped for fast road/race HKS Gasket set (1.2mm head gasket) Stock valves re-cut and new seals HKS Cams HKS Cam pulleys Gates race cam belt Garrett Gt4088R turbo unit (rebuilt with zero miles) including exhaust housing Titanium coated manifold (waste-gate is missing) Large plenum with 80mm throttle body Single port nitrous kit Methanol / water injection All the ancillary's are rebuilt or cleaned and painted. Chrome rocker covers etc. Missing is injectors and fuel rail, wastegate and engine management. I think every thing else is there for a complete drop in engine change including alternator etc. Im wondering what sort of money it would cost me to 1- get all the bits and pay someone to build or 2- buy this engine i know is sat built already from someone i know. From what i understand the actual engine itself is good for well over 1000 bhp dependent on turbo used. But as this comes with a new 4088r it would make a really good street set up with maybe 800bhp? Pics to follow
