If I was to Sell My Turbo

[240MPS]

If I was to sell my Turbo which is in perfect condition what would you pay for it, only 34,000k's nearly...... I am looking at a bigger turbo with more grunt and considering the move if the changes don't take me over 500NM with the other changes being done....... So what I'm saying is if I make the move would there be anyone interested.....

Only worth about $500....


If your going to get another turbo, be prepared to do internals. I did it the hard way and spat a rod through the block. You can save yourself at least 2k just in the block!

I have a good team of boys who look after the Grand Prix Race car....... Things will only go forward if its do-able.....

Further to this, if your keen to do it, you would need the following:

CP Pistons
Paulter Rods
ARP Head Studs
Full Gasket Kit

Not much of an outlay as most of the cost lies with the labour side of things, but if you add a MZR block to the list, it's going to most probably double in cost.

Hmmm....Neo with a stock MPS turbo attached??

Your scaring me now Lazydog, I will be consulting the boys I have more NM then the Race car but there's reach it at 75k's a hour where mine is 110k's I think. So i'm in the hands of the experts who look after the race car and they will tune it to suit with a switch to flick from 14.5psi to 18psi when and if I need it plus I don't cane mine like some people I know.Coppers use to call me driving miss daisy when I had the 370kw HSVGTO

I've heard it said that 480nm is the do-not-cross line for the DISI engine on stock internals. Another relevant point is that when you read about the popped engines, they always seem to occur when the engine is lightly loaded, almost always after coming off a steady highway run. Come to think of it, I can't remember hearing about a DISI engine that popped when it was being given a flogging.

That's why I haven't done anything yet I might get the boys to price the bottom end otherwise I will leave it where it is and proceed to bring back my HSV project back to sooner than later.... Thanks Mal
