Selling an engine.
Turbo Mini Forums

Ok then,

In this day and age, is it better to sell a high spec engine as a hole thing or break it to sell?


Simon.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Unless the right person at the right time is looking for a built engine at exactly your spec breaking it will always net more cash imo
Quicker too, just requires a bit of leg work

Yes i moved to the darkside

Could be worth trying to sell as a complete lump first but the reality is more people will be looking for individual parts to finish a project so likely to sell up pretty quickly in bits if you price it right

of course you could stick it on ebay and try your luck

I tried to sell a complete "high spec" 1293 engine a while back.

Lots of vultures circling for the bits, but no takers. As already said, depends who is in the market at the time for a complete engine.

and if it meets any regulations rather than road. however the kids love certain bizz words like 1380, turbo gearbox, Kent 286, etc....

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Don't forget to dip it in red paint and find something cooper S or 1275GT on it.
