Thats a decent price.

Is this the price you charge to rebuild, Sorry Im being dumb...

Just I have a T3 that needs doing!

 

I know just one think was a garret unit didnt need a rebuild but wanted it as i was having a new rebuild on the engine PIECE OF MIND !!

mind you think it had done 80k at least and he done another mod to help oil flow !

 

surely the cost of a rebuild depends upon the damage done.

I have had T34s rebuilt from 250 to 550 - obviously the 550 rebuild was initially a lot more fucked than the previous as the exh housing was cracked and the penny was also fucked.

 

Thats true.
However, my fee is a base price.
If something is fucked, ie shaft/bearing housing, wheel etc, then it is added to the price, after the customer has been contacted and the work has been given the go ahead.
This rules out people sending any old shit, and expecting to get a new turbo in return.

As someone stated above, TT was £440 for a 360 rebuild.
But even with new shaft and bearing housing my price is only £15 more than TT

The old saying, you get what ou pay for.
I know of a company that will only replace whats damaged.
So a smoking turbo will cost you £90 to get sorted, but the turbo needs almost the same amount of time to replace rear seal as it does to replace all gaskets, seals and bearings. Cant see the logic myself. Replace the seal for £90, then in 2 months the bearings/other seals/gaskets are fooked. Then obviously it needs to get doen again.



EDIT* ran, £250 sounds about right for a standard rebuild. the price i quoted £315 is for "stage 1" 360 degree bearing kit rebuild.

very wise

yes it is

I think that until you pay £2500 for a full rebuild upradtes this that from a eninge builder
And got to a Cosworth specialist and pay £2500 for a bog standard and only last 1600 miles

Wont and have not been back to them !!

But the engine bloke i have £0.6 millon of engine machinery and years of knowlage !!

Same with my turbo man 18 years off knowlage

 

Sort of understand your point, but i was showing that while the turbo is in bits its cost efficient to have all seals gasket and bearings replaced, rather than JUST the offending item.

 

True and he did show me my t3 in bit cleaned and ready for the rebuild

 

it just smokes a bit,theres not much play in shaft
