$650, turbo needs a rebuild, big deal another $500-$600 for that and you have yourself a kit. Buy some random i/c pipes from Ebay $70 and an Ebay i/c $80-$100, done. WTF 3800 dudes. PANDA needs this.

FWIW my friend Steve had his turbo rebuilt by precision and it was ~$500 to get it done, and the turbo was pretty fuct. New turbo's are ~$1000 so it's a cheap solution, plus it's a pt61 which will take a 3800 into 11's with ease. I would jump all over this deal if i had something worth putting a turbo onto. I'm almost thinking about buying, fixing turbo, building an i/c kit and re-selling for $2000.

02bluegt should buy it and get outa the 14's finally

No, he's got a burnt valve IMO it just acts like overlap, but he wants to fix it who fixes 3800's? Seriously...

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

He should probably stop trying to tune his own car.


How much could 1 headgasket and a valve be?? $38? So it'll cost him $1038 to turbo his car....seems like a deal

good logic

that turbo is fucking scrap.

 

[The Broken Regal]

buy kit, fuck the turbo, get new or slightly used for much less than 1k, holy shit

[The Broken Regal]

Just needs a compressor wheel and new seals phatrides was WAYYY worse and that's what Steve had rebuilt for $500. :gives:

steve got the wheels replaced as well? dynamically balancing and rebuilding seems like it would cost as much as the turbo itself. plus on center turbos lose significant efficiency.

I'd buy it and run alcohol injection though. if I happened to have a turbo laying around.

are you talking about the one that sucked up part of the air cleaner? that thing was destroyed big time

 

[ldyzluvdis06]

trying to talk my buddy into demodding his miata and building his gtp. this "kit" almost has him talked in to it, be he's still thinking

 

[bikrboy128]

swap turbo 3800 into miata
epic win

DOWN TO $550

 

[shaferz]

Crazy cheap deal.

 

[10sec]

That's what i'm sayin, if i didn't have so much money into my current setup already i would have scooped this up. I'm really thinking about buying it, fixing it, and selling for profit. The turbo just needs a compressor wheel and some bearings.

 

[shaferz]

Same reason I'm not jumping on the turbo boat. Too much cash into my car the way it is, and I'd have to buy the shit, drive it for 6 months then demod and sell like everyone else.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

where's tommy?

 

[10sec]

Tommy said NO, he clearly stated that last night, i don't think he wants to be harassed about it anymore.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

i didnt hear that

 

[10sec]

Yeah, he was actually annoyed

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

i haz more weight than you lol
