3TGTE worth?

DeathProof · **Posted:** Tue Feb 21, 2012 2:33 am

hello new to the boards.

Recently I pulled out my stock 3tgte out of my car and was wondering how much I could sell it for?

Its all stock aside from aftermarket BOV. Will come with stock bellhousing/transmission which I believe is a W55. Has a CT20 turbo that made 12psi.

It has a little over 130k miles and runs pretty awesome but I wanted to swap out to something better.

A couple of people have been throwing some numbers at me from 500 to 700 $.

I know little to nothing about this motor but would like to get a fair price on it. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

Do some research Google will help you, look up price on Ebay and big forums

I was able to find 1 or 2 on 3TCGARAGE.COM for sale. One seems to be mildly modified and was asking quiet a bit. ($2500) http://www.3tcgarage.com/viewtopic.php? ... gte#p56466

While the other one was basically a head and a block and a few things ($1250) http://www.3tcgarage.com/viewtopic.php? ... gte#p49434

this one I found came with a car and had two prices ($800) just for drivetrain ($1200) for whole car. http://www.3tcgarage.com/viewtopic.php? ... gte#p53467

what I did find out is the bellhousing is highly sought after for it can connect a T series motor to a W series trans. Ive seen a couple go for $200 and one on ebay thats at $400 atm.

other than that I have found next to nothing on pricing. On one hand the motor seems rare but on the other hand its so rare that maintenance seems to be a money pit.

where are you located

Well I bought a 3T-GTE over 10 years ago to put into my 81 Corolla. I paid $900 for it back then.

It all depends on where you are located. 3T-GTE's are worth alot more here in the States because they are a rare sight here, and because of the potential of the motor.

It is definately worth more then what you were offered. The bell housing is worth a bit. I know some people, like me, want the stock manifold and turbo. I think your biggest concern will be selling it from hawaii unless someone there will give fair price.

I do have an offer of $2500 on my 4tgte so go figure and it is not running.

My sugestion is dont sell it your engine is more than capable of doing what you are looking for and more plus it got the wow factor.

Thank you for all the suggestions, I have made up my mind and I am going to sell it.

FS: 3TGTE Package
130k miles
motor/electronics/transmission
$1200.00

Rarity is a double edged sword for this one, also taking in consideration of mileage and how old it is, I believe $1200 is a fair price. Unfortunately its in Hawaii.

Still a good deal, if originality is in the mind, yeap, it is a double edge blade, but bringing it to the 21st cetury with new ignition and fuel management change that to a single edge power slaying sword capable of give you years and years of joy!

Good luck with your sale!
