So I'm looking at picking up and FD mainly for the chassis and want to build my motor later and overtime (need a project). I'd like to know what this setup would be worth if I wanted to pull and sell it.

13B-REW (it's Running)
Borg Warner turbo - 68 AR journal bearing
Custom 2-1 header
Synapse 50mm wastegate
Tail bov
Rebuilt FD block (street ported)
Garret intercooler
Aluminum koyo radiator
1000cc injectors (4) not sure of the brand yet
Microtech Stand alone ecu.

Just want to get an idea of what I could sell this setup for or a rough estimate of worth if I part it out.

Thanks!

Typically it's going to be worth more as parts than as a whole, but it's going to be more work to sell as you have to deal with each part.

The motor I would get a video of it running and idling and also a compression test before pulling it. That's HUGE for being able to sell it.

Since you're in California you may have an easier time selling it to people locally. Shipping a lot of the bulky parts (engine, trans) is a bitch. I normally give a better price on large parts if someone picks them up or I meet them halfway or something.

That said, start searching the classified section on the forum, that's a good gauge of prices. Make a spreadsheet up for all the parts. If you try it sell it as a whole lot you'll probably be 50% or so of the individual parts price, but it's WAY easier to have one guy come with a truck and a bag of money and it all goes away than boxing, shipping, and dealing with selling each little part.
