jackso11 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I am thinking of getting a lower milage engine transplant and wondering what I can get for mine. Both turbos where replaced in 2008 and have done about 8k miles. What are they worth? I am not sure what the engine has done mile wise, the clock says about 134k miles but I would think a large chunk of that is km's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 well if Jurgen is selling that low mileage one for 1600, then yours id say about 400-500 maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 I would think I will split them, probably end up splitting lots of bits to get good money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinitom Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I would think I will split them, probably end up splitting lots of bits to get good money then let me know if you decide to split, or pm me a price for the turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadeS Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 are these turbos got ceramic or steel blades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 i would be interested in the lot if you are serious on selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 are these turbos got ceramic or steel blades? They are standard J-Spec turbos, direct replacement. They have done 8k miles with no higher bost than 0.9bar. Previous owner who had them changed was a lady owner and carful driver, and although I am BPU I haven't fitted my boost controller so its still restricted by the ring to 0.9bar. Basically nearly new turbos I have the receipt too, £800 for the turbos, £2k including labour to fit! expensive labour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both turbos where replaced in 2008 and have done about 8k miles. What are they worth? So you've got a good engine with VERY good condition Turbos, and you want to replace it with an unknown engine that's coming over from Japan.. I suggest you have a rethink on that one.

Having had a 60,000km (supposedly) engine fail on me, I don't take any meaning from the figures. Taking out a known good engine with relatively new turbos (which are very expensive and likely to last for a long time) and replacing it with an unknown engine and unknown turbos seems like absolute lunacy.

jackso11 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 hmmm....do you think I am being a bit stupid Alex? My engine is fine, new turbos, its just the idea of an engine with only 13k km on it seems really good to me.....anyone else think I should just stick with what I have?

Totally agree, if the engine was blown then fine, Jackson, you sure you ain't been bowled over with pics of a nice looking new engine? You need to use your head (not your heart) on this decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 your decision mate but as said above dont fix what aint broke.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) If you decide to sell I'll offer £750. We could always agree on what garage to use and maybe the labour will work out more favourable for us both also?
