Hey Guys,
I'm considering going in another direction with my car now. I know most of you will think it's a bit off but I've decided to convert to RWD using a different manufacturers drivetrain.
In order to get this ball rolling I need to figure out what I can sell my motor/tranny for.. I know how much I have into it and that I won't be seeing a return on my investment but taking all factors into consideration, I feel it would be worth the effort/loss to go in the direction that would be more suitable for my desires.
That being said, I'd like to know what you guys think this combination would be worth to you if you were in the market for such a setup. Honest opinions only please!

Here it is in no particular order:

D16z6 stock bore/stroke
Laskey Racing - built by Earl
Benson Sleeves
9.0:1 compression
Pauter rods
CP pistons
balanced/blued
clevite bearings
cometic .030 head gasket
Potflow head
SSvalvetrain
1mm oversized valves
Mugen valve cover
ZEX 59500 cam
Edelbrock adj. cam gear
New waterpump
new oil pump
gatorback timing belt
new oilpan gasket
new valvecover gasket
new distributor
new plugs/wires
(custom 300m coil on plugs setup
will be included but not in use at this moment
includes sensors, custom brackets and coils
with harness)
complete engine wiring harness
AEM 1040 EMS
Stock geared transmission
Custom heavy duty diff bearings
OBX LSD
Spec stage 3 clutch
new flywheel
1Fab custom equal length header
3" stainless downpipe
custom dumptube
(Jet hot coated inside and out)
(retains AC and power steering, yeah AC!)
Tial 38mm wastegate
Precision GT30r ballbearing turbo
(includes all oil lines, orifices etc.)
WR engine damper
Edelbrock Performer X intake
Ported TB
PWR 918 radiator
AEM hi-flo fuel rail
RC engineering 750cc injectors (hi imp)
AEM FPR
Full AC included
All other engine components included
(steering pump, bracketry, alternator etc.)
more stuff I'm forgetting I'm sure.
This motor has been built with a "no expense spared" attitude and is turnkey. drop it in, add fluids, start it and go.
The entire setup has about 1000miles on it and currently it is tuned for 12psi and around 300whp on 91 octane. Boost comes on at 3500rpm and gets stupid all the way to 9000rpm
On race gas, with proper tuning and current setup it will make 500+whp

Well, there it is, it's been 3 years in the making.. I'd like to get as many opinions as possible to get a better idea for what I need to plan for.
Thanks!

Haha, yeah it does.

To the OP, good luck with the sale.

 

The beauty of building things like this, you might get 1/3 what you have in it if you are lucky. The only things that gain value with time are rare parts and rare wheels unfortunately. Good luck, and BTW I think you should keep the setup.

 

Thanks guys.. I'm just trying to get an idea of worth.. I don't even wanna say what I have into this thing and i realize there's no way I'm getting it back.
I think I've decided to sell the whole car as it sits.. 15K obo whatdya think?

Good luck, its all about finding someone willing to pay. Its basically impossible to put a value to this car. Very pimP setup though!
