What is my engine worth with nearly new turbos?

[jackso11]

blimey that labour rate is high

 

Yeah it was high! Lucky it was previous owner and not me

 

Looking through the receipts last night my car has had a lot of new OEM stuff, radiator and fan, turbos, coil packs, few other small bits.

 

I reckon she was ripped off with a few things. Prices seem ok apart from labour, but I don't think some of them needed replacing.

 

e.g. Cambelt replace, then 2 yers later (15k miles later..) it was replaced again!

 

Thats a lot of labour for a not needed part.

 

I reckon the just billed by the hour and had never worked on a supra before so things took longer.

let me know if you want the engine mate i have 10 people in line after you

1200 quid to fit a set of turbos is astronomical IMO.

I wouldnt charge anywhere near that and neither would most if not all the traders on here either (I would hope lol).

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.

 

I have to agree with this, to change a known good engine, with an unknown seems daft.

 

I would get a compression test and a leak down test done on the current engine at least so you know what condition its in.

Right, thanks, enough of you have PM'ed me about how dumb I would be to change my good engine with new turbos for an andgine from Japan that we don't know anything about.

 

So I am not selling and not buying the new one.

 

Thanks for all the advise!
