1998 z28 turbo, built engine, for sale

**TexDoc** · 03-05-2006, 09:40 AM

I'm getting married and starting school, so I need to sell my car.
Located near San Antonio, Texas.

It's a 1998 Z28 NBM A4.
I just ran a carfax report on it and it's clean with a buyback guarantee that if I find something on the car elsewhere they will buy it from me.
no accidents
no flood or other damage
no leans
no lemon reports
nothing

It has a t76 turbo kit.
408 cid Iron block engine forged and running around 9:1
The top end is stock with stock cam (recommend you change this)
On stock engine managment (change this too)

but it runs very well on the tune, a little rich

SLP radiator, (no over-headting problems)
160 deg stat
cutout
3.66 gears

I never ran more then 4psi of boost, which was a waste, but things changed in my life suddenly that ended the car probject (my fiancee)

I was going to ask for $12,000 for the car; however, because I need the money soon and because I blew out 3rd and 4th gears I decided to drop the price. 1st, 2nd and reverse still work and I drive the car around slowely twice a week. I'm lowering by $4000 for a tranny, get something strong. Also the car has been stripped out a little, just the rear seats and the tire and jack. It has blue corbeux racing seats that match really well. The outside of the car has one key mark that is hard to see and a few tiny dinks.
I recommend getting some help from someone that does exhaust and pipe work and change out the t76 for a t88 or something. You can also hear the BOV when you let off the gas. It's not too loud. The car looks stock from the outside.

The right side window motor is out, which can be changed pretty easy, there are instructions on here on how to do that.

This car can be run on the street
It's a very good deal and I put a lot of money into it.

This is what I put into it overall.

$8000 for the engine, built by Chris at speedemon in Houston.
$4000 for the turbo kit
$2000 for the install and tune
$1000 for all other adjustments so that it runs well
$500 for the racing seats
That's about $15,000 in expenses

Answers to extra questions.

The chasis has 86,500 miles
The engine has 6,500 miles
and the turbo kit has 4,500 miles.

no suspension work.
I got a better fuel pump and injectors.
I will be looking into getting all the details on the engine, and fuel system.

I'm asking for $8,000 for the car. Give me an offer and we'll talk.
If you emailed me when I had the other price up, that price still applies to you.
I have pictures so pm me for them.

Where are you located? If in central Tx somewhere I'd love to come take a look - I am in Austin..... Just as a suggestion you might want to consider parting this car out, you could make more than your asking for the engine+turbo+any bolt ons and then sell the shell
Send pics to --> townes@coherentlogix.com
Thanks - stevet

Hey Lawrence, this is Patrick! Just subscribing to your thread to see how it goes with the sell. I'm still very interested as soon as I can get a break with my finances. Give me a ring sometime.

Hey Patt! what's up? How's Jen doing? Hey do you still have that video of my car, if you do email it to me if you can? If you don't, don't worry about it.

Jen is doing great...she is getting tired of her job and we are thinking of moving to Galveston. I do have the video still. I'll shoot it over your way, or maybe upload it for you. I have the pics still if you need those as well. Take care buddy and I'll talk to you later.

Which turbo kit are you using? When you say a person might need the help of someone who is good with tubing, does that mean the kit doesn't fit right?I may be interested. Have you ever had it on a chassis dyno? I would like to see pictures. I also would like to contact you on the phone. Thanks!!

**Hambone4000** · 03-09-2006, 10:46 AM

any more information on the motor? parts, etc.. Miles on car? Miles on motor/turbo? Anything in terms of fuel ever done, anything in terms of suspension, etc? I'm very interested, but would like some decent info about it.

**TexDoc** · 03-09-2006, 02:04 PM

The kit fits with the t76, but with a t88 you'll probably have to change some stuff. Everything is a tight fit but it worked out well.

I'll pm yall. I put some more info in the add also
