VIL Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 As I have now sold my Supra I have a pair of reconditioned turbos for sale. I bought them years ago thinking they may be useful but they have been sat (boxed up) in my garage for years. The guy I bought them from had them reconditioned in 2004 (at a cost of £1500), fitted them to his car, did a few 1000 miles with them then went single so as you can see they are in great condition. This is however as much as I know about them so please take this into consideration when making an offer, they are being 'Sold as Seen'. Re the price, I have had a look round at what others have gone for on this site but I am open to offers. If your interested PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j80leo Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Is there any play in the shafts and what condition are the blades in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIL Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Fractional movement in the shafts but unsure if thats normal? Blades are unmarked and if it helps I think they are steel internals. Unfortunately I am no expert so much of what I tell you is from a novice perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robzki Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 do you have any price in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIL Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 aaaah a novice eh............. £20? Novice = Yes Daft = No To be honest I dont have a specific price in mind, I know what they owe me but thats nothing to go by as I bought them years ago. I am pretty realistic so I wont be offended at sensible offers. I know this is a vague answer but I guess I am going to be guided by what people are willing to pay for them.

Carl Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Will these fit straight onto a J-Spec Supra or were they UK fitment? Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIL Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Will these fit straight onto a J-Spec Supra or were they UK fitment? Carl EDIT.... Sorry, mis-read your question. Thought you where asking if they would fit a UK model. Yes, the guy I bought them from had them fitted to his J-Spec JZA80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 As has be mentioned, can you indicate what sort of price you will be looking at? I can only assume these are in good working order with good seals. Cant imagine anything worse than buying second hand turbo's only to find they smoke like the ones you removed. I guess without certainty on the turbo's condition the price must reflect that..

Carl Hi Carl Well having looked on the site old turbos with some miles in them go for £150+ and some recons in the past have gone for £750+ so I guess somewhere inbetween. I have tried to describe them the best I can with as many photos as possible but anyone making an offer needs to treat this as 'sold as seen'.

tomgeer Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'll offer £151 if you get desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I find it difficult to decide what is a fair offer for these turbos. given that theres no real way of knowing if they are in good working order or not untill they are fitted. I could be buying two good turbo's or else I could be buying to lumps of metal that need rebuilding anyway. Taking that into account I will make an offer of £250. carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 braver than me I offered £200 on the same basis you did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
