Traded a gsr valve cover to a friend for these turbo parts .idk why he wanted to trade but I'm pretty happy with the deal.

Tubronetis wastegate, greddy bov, jdm cast manifold, Xspower intercooler,

 

Big whoop. It looks like junk. Ever wonder why it only cost you a valve cover?

 

It has a "JDM" cast manifold though ??

 

Well that changes everything!

 

I believe someone is jealous or he is on his pms lol.either way im happy with it

 

Looks good man.
Pressure test that wastegate for leaks before you use it.
I guaranteed it has a leak from the mounting bolts. I had one of those a few years back.
Took it apart put gasket. Maker on the screws and held boost nice and solid.

Post pics of the inside fins of the intercooler to see if its an ebay unit.

Good trade regardless, ill trade one of my 5 v.c. for that anyday.

 

Yup you came out on top. Not every setup requires the top of the line best and new parts, although some around here will tell you that.

 

Until they're inspected and tested he doesn't know WHAT he has.

 

lets see
ebay cast manifold
turbonetics deltagate wastegate
ebay intercooler
a generic vacuum block
and what might be a genuine greddy type s bov

not really a score


I have a 25,000 dollar turbo on my desk.... thats the score of a lifetime....

 

Yeah, yeah.. I've heard that one before

 

i know :p

and what are your power goals?
the manifold might be wrong for it
the intercooler might be too small
the deltagates ae notorious for having spiking/boost control issues so you'll probably need a new wastegate

 

The delta gates are fine.
Its a mechanical part not much magic for them to suddenly spike for no apart reason.
Intercooler looks fine.
Bov looks fine
Mani looks like every other cast. I've seen.
Too much hate in here.

 

the deltagates don't have a lot of valve travel like a tial.. and when you put that in a place with sub-par wastegate placement, say an ebay cast mani with the wg flange on one cylinder then the wastegate can't bleed enough gasses to keep boost in check... this was a huge issue when the drag kits came out, sub par wastegate placement + the deltagate meant creep for days, eventually drag had to replace them with tial 38s

not hating, hes just trying to sound like he just won the ebay lottery. the only thing of realy value is the greddy type s (if its real) they sell for dumb amounts of money on ebay

 

Its all getting traded or sold.looking for some rims or a nice nonricey exhaust.I can get more outta this stuff than I could the valve cover.

 

Not from what I remember.
I owned a delta gate about 4 years back. It did creep but because it wasn't sealed right. Took it apart sealed any leaks. Held boost great on a p.o.s mini ram.
The valve seemed to travel plenty as much as my tial I have now.

 

20 for the vacuum block
maybe 50 at most for the manifold (its an ebay china copy after all)
50 for the intercooler at most (again, small ebay core good for maybe 300ish max)
50-75 for the wastegate
100-125 for the blow off valve


thats the high end of what you can expect, things aren't selling like they used to and especially not china parts.... those go dirt cheap

 

Hey im happy as hell if they sell for that price man .if nothing else I can trade them for stuff I need

 

Congrats on the score. All those parts are easy enough to clean up and appear new. Not only that if the wastegate needs a bit of work it's cheap. For a valve cover i'd be laughing. You got a solid deal.

 

I mean a valve cover goes for like $75-$100 tops.

 

Do they really go for that much? I was thinking like 40 or so

 

haha no. most valve covers go for 100+, i've seen asshats try to sell haggard itr covers for 150-175

if its in good shape with a decent finish, expect 100-125
if its chipping, scratched, etc then 40 maybe.. I get mine for 25 because I only get ones that need to be refinished... so in a way, you got played.

and why you ask?

most knowledgeable honda people WILL NOT buy new ebay parts, much less used ones

 

I see valve covers catch can ready for $100 all the time. I see valve covers for 50 bux all yhe time. Hell a shop around here sells em for $100 + core for any color you want powder coated. One never seen anyone ask more then a $100 for a plain Jane black one. And just because someone tries to gouge on the price does not make it the norm lol.

Hell the price you told him on what he would get for the BOV alone is worth more then the valve cover and you tell him he got played lol.

 

You are what's wrong with the car community. 14,000 posts and every post i've seen so far takes away from the scene. A guy flips a valve cover that could be worth $50-150 tops, gets a bov, wastegate, manifold, vac box, and intercooler and you call the guy a retard? Shut the **** up. Who the **** cares if a turbo manifold is used? You seem like a fanboy try hard.

 

i never called him a retard

he traded the valvecover for these parts thinking he could make some huge profit, I was smply giving him typical prices of used ebay stuff so he wouldnt get his hopes crushed when he tried to sell them.

can he make more money then selling the valvecover? yes
enough to buy wheels and an exhaust? no

and yes Im an *******... deal with it

 

yea the bov is where he will make the most money, assuming it's real. they make greddy copy stickers for the tops. If it doesn't say greddy in the casting on each side of the lower body (you cant miss it) then its a fake with the sticker

He should make a nice profit assuming he can flip them... it's been hard selling stuff lately due to how shitty our economy is. I can't even sell new genuine parts for half their value SMH
