LOL Among the 240 noobs these days numbers are the most important stat. I am a noob.

I dynoed it on one of the mobile dynos which broke on my run... It was 278rwhp and 265ftlb at 10.12psi engine is being turned up to 17ish psi. What it was buitl for and what it was running about a month ago until the mbc started to spike. Now I have a bigger wastegate spring to do it corrrectly.

[redtop91]

Good lord. I'd pay close to 10k.

Technically the market value is whatever the bluebook value for the car is or black book if you are trading it in at a dealer. To a dealer any modifications to the car do not factor into its value, sometime it detracts from the value since the dealer would have to remove the parts to bring the car back to factory condition.

The only way you are going to get close to what you have put into the car is through a private seller. Add up your investment in the car, parts and etc. A cars typical depreciation rate is about 15 to 20% per year. Depreciate your investment by that much and add it to the cars blue book value. That should be a good starting point for what to ask for the car. Not a lot of people are going to want to buy an extensively modified car, I know I don't. Your only market is going to be enthusiast who don't want to modify a car themselves. If you really want to get your investment back, convert it back to stock yourself or at least close to.. Then part out the turbo stuff...actually I would keep that stuff since 90% of will fit the S14.

The actual value of the car is what people are willing to pay for it. Look around and see what similar cars are going for. You can also take the stock value and add about 1/3 - 1/2 of what you spent on mods. But you never know - you can Ebay it and maybe get more than you expected.

Ebay might not be the place you want to sell your Ka-T. I would recomend trying to sell it to someone on this forum. Its kinda sad actualy to see a Ka-T on ebay, becuase they stay there for so long. You see them relisted week after week becuase most people on ebay have no idea of the potential of the Ka. Everyone is looking for either a stock 240 or one with a SR swap.

Good luck trying to sell your car though, tell us what you get for it if you dont mind so we can have a baseline ^^.

[lrb_2000]

I'd probably pay about 6k-7k.. depending on the condition of the acual car.. ie suspenion, interior etc..

this is the car in your sig correct?
