resale of stock turbo

[tburke]

I was wondering if there is a market for used stock turbos and what it would be worth? what does everyone do with their take offs? might make a great salad shooter :-laf .

What turbo came on your truck? I have friend in need of an hx35 for second gen. Thanks

Its the stock turbo from 2004. 5 600 Im not sure if thats a hy35 or hx35. the trucks a 6spd.

 

[SRadke]

It's an HY35 with electronically controlled wastegate.

It'd be sort of fun to try converting it into a turbine engine, you've already got the compressor and the turbine, just need to fabricate a combustor and a regulator to control RPM's.

Something similar to this maybe: http://www.asciimation.co.nz/beer/
Or depending on how much thrust it can make maybe put it on a go-kart.

I sold mine for $400. 00 but it may be worth more. Some one out there has made a mistake and needs one.

You will want to try the classifieds if you have something to sell.



Thanks

Try ebay... should bring decent money.

BTW it is not an Hy-35. Yes, it is like an hy35 but it is an HE351W.



Calling it an Hy35 could throw someone off that is looking for a replacement Hy35 for their truck.

The HE351W is not a bolt on unit for a 2nd gen truck that needs an Hy35 as a replacement.



FYI...

I have a HE351W wrapped in plastic sitting on the shelf in the garage, next to a lot of other stock pieces.

No one took it the wrong way, what moderator Parks did was remove a for sale post that is in direct violation of TDR guidelines. Your post is okay, MWoody's was not and that's why it was removed.

I personally hang on to all the stock parts just in case you decide to get rid of the truck or something. I never planned to get rid of my 03 but certailn reasons required me to go to something with fewer tires, so rather than to trade in a truck with all sorts of high dollar stuff that would get me nothing I stripped it and saved the parts either to sell or use on the new truck. Kinda hard to trade in a truck minus a turbo! :-laf

Was it getting expensive to replace tires? :-laf What about your newly installed PDR cam?



Anyhow, if you keep the stock turbo and are interested in mega-bombing, there are some twin turbo kits being sold that use the stock turbo... food for thought. That's why I still have my stock turbo (as well as a slightly bigger than stock turbo now)... you just never know about the future!

This is why I got rid of the truck - http://www.tdr1.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1412485#post1412485

I will say that a cam will be going in this truck, but thats later!



One thing I just thought of, if you really want to get rid of your turbo I seem to remember a member that was buying them up and modifying them to use on snowmobiles. If you do a search I bet you can turn up something. I bet thats a wild ride!
