So months ago, i invested in buying a 87 turbo II. I had spent so much time and stress into building it up. I dropped a jdm turbo II motor (has about 40,000 or less miles) into the US chasis. Along the way, I installed aftermarket downpipe, cat, and Apexi N1 exhaust, blitz blow off valve. The engine runs great, but weeks ago i had my foot on the gas at around 6000 rpm, at that moment the motor died and rpm dropped to 0. Next day, i did compression test and notice one of the spark plug holes wasn't producing any compression or very little. I was depressed for days.

I recently just picked up a subaru 2.5 rs, anyhow i will try to sell my car for some money.

How much do you guys think i should sell my turbo II for? feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Rebuild and port the jspec engine, which is what you probably should have done before dropping it in. If you decide to sell it after that, well you will get more money for it. These cars don't sell for very much non running. I'm willing to bet you will change your mind once you have a fresh engine with awesome compression pulling hard as hell.

What year 2.5rs did you get? A buddy of mine had one in 98 with a killer turbo setup. Very fun rides.

 

another sad example of someone being told their motor had ''40-45k miles''. MAn i wish i had a dollar for everytime i heard that line of ****. Scam artist, are what these people are.

 

If only he has the money. Dude, let's see pics of the 2.5RS. The first gens are badass.

 

I picked up a 1998 2.5 rs, and oh boy i love that car. About the turbo II, how much can i get for it with all the aftermarkets on it???

 

the one I ordered said the same thing 20-50 k on it. I don't trust it. Plus if your ordering a new engine you have it out anyway just do it right the first time... Sure I want to throw it in the car and drive it. But I will not I refuse!

 

cpubugs: smart idea

ProjectKN: Your probably better off taking the aftermarket stuff off and selling the parts seperatley.

 

A TII with a blown motor is 1-2k territory for sale.

3-4k if running on "unknown"or stock motor and 4k and possibly higher for a brand spanking new motor usually.
