Swapping to carb; How much should I sell my FI stuff for?
Swapping to carb; How much should I sell my FI stuff for?
Here is my current setup:
Holley Stealth Ram
Stock throttle body
Fuel rail kit w/ AFPR
24 lb SVO injectors
Full MAF TPI harness / ECM & all sensor
HEI Dizzy and Coil (remote mount coil)
All of the above has about 2,000 miles on it w/ the exception of the MAF and Harness/ECM
The ECM already has a custom chip made for the HSR and injectors.

just take about 25% off the parts new price and see if people bite for anything on the classifieds. since those are usually parts people are looking for you should have a problem getting mose of ur money back.
stock TB maybe 30 to 40 bucks, hard to say
harness with ecm / chip maybe ask for around 100 even, also hard to say.

Well, what I'd really like to do is sell it all to one person wanting to do a swap so I didn't have to deal with parting everything out.
Would $600 be fair for it all? The HSR alone is $500 new...

That would be the only detractor, most people want a S/D setup when they swap, but other than that, yeah $600 would be a good price.

I just recently sold mine on ebay. Its almost to the point where noone wants them. Better hurry...I was lucky and got enough to pay for the HSR. However, there are several complete units I have seen that are selling for 200-250. Even on the classifieds in here. People have wised up to the fact that HSR is cheap and they are buying those instead of TPI. You may have to part it out to make any money cuz people wont pay 600 for a complete one anymore unless you find someone who doesnt know about HSR. Maybe a hot rod builder with a classic car or truck might buy it. Good luck.

Besides that 86WS6_T/A, didnt you just get that HSR for Christmas? How come your selling it to switch to carb? Are you planning on racing often? Thats the only reason I would switch to carb is if I was going to race more often.

Actually, I did the swap on Thanksgiving weekend. I'm tired of messing with trying to tune this thing and carb makes more HP anyway *zips up flame suit*
I'd rather run carb anyway... It was my original intention anyway but decided to hop on the HSR bandwagon instead.
