Whats my turbo worth?

[SloS13]

I got this turbo and im thinking about selling it, but i've got no idea what its worth. Its a turbonetics t3/t4, 0 miles on new wheels and rebuild/balance, 360 degree thrust bearing. I dont know any of the other stats on it. Thanks for any help. Im thinking of selling it so i can get some kyb's

That'll depend on what the buyer deems it to be worth. I wouldn't take anything less than $650, personally, but I don't know how much you have in it and what it's worth to you.

yes, value on that turbo should be between $650 and $900 depending on the exhaust housing trim

[SloS13]

wow! is their any way i can figure out the trims? I dont remember seeing any numbers stamped anywhere

[Repo Man]

Call Turbonetics directly. I'm sure they would be the best way to figure out exactly what it is.

[SloS13]

good idea, thx

[lessthanjakejohn]

looks like a nice turbo, lol you should put it on your SR

[nlzmo400r]

yea, if u dont mind me asking, why exactly are u selling it, especially with O miles??, decided to go with another turbo??

[Zebrahead]

A T03/04 is a bit large for a SR, would take forEVER for that thing to spool. I'd prefer something smaller, like a T28 or something. I'm not a huge horsepower guy; I'd prefer 300HP with full boost at 3,000-3,500rpm.

Well, i dont have my SR yet. waiting to sell a couple cars to afford it. Not to mention i want to keep the quick-spooling stock turbo for a while because im a cheap bastard.

i'll probably go with a t-28 or so when the time comes to upgrade. Plus, its just collecting dust and id enjoy some suspension more than a paperweight

[SilviaLuvr]

forEVER to spool??? how long of a forever are you think bro? i think the T3/T4 spool at like 3K. the T5 onup series go from like 4K on up. i could be mistaken...BUT im pretty sure of what i say is true

[MainEvent212]

how much do u wanna sell it for? i'm looking to do a KA-T setup and this looks like my kinda turbo, check the specs out and email me at [email protected]

i'm also in the market for a turbo kit if anyone's sellin!!!

[[Zero-S]]

psst I'll give you a quarter for it. NOOO mainevent you don't deserve a turbo!

j/k.

[SloS13]

i'll give turbonetics a call tomorrow to see what specs the turbo that they included in the kit that this turbo came from has.

damn that was a long sentence

why does the value of a turbo depends on its exhaust housing trim?

what does the exhaust housing trim do?

[MainEvent212]

bigger trim size=bigger power to my knowledge

[SloS13]

I talked to a guy that knows a lot about prelude turbos and he said:

t3/t4b stage 3 wheel with .60 compressor and .63 exhaust

[Aries]

nice, that's a good turbo for someone upgrading their SR or going for about 14psi on a KA-T

bigger trim size=bigger power to my knowledge

Larger exhaust housings spool the turbo later as it takes more flow of exhaust gases to turn the blades.A smaller exhaust housing will thus spool the turbo sooner

[SloS13]

I think my friend was right, i looked into the exhaust housing and it says 63, so his other #'s are prolly right too, so I guess $750 is a good price. Ive been taking care of it, even filled it with oil
