I am looking for a used set of twin turbos and I was on thepartstrader.com and a few people have a set. These were emailed to me and I cannot see any defects and I was wondering if some of you pros could look at em for me!

[B][SIZE=7][COLOR=blue]isnt there a crack in the manifold?

Drifter93 09-04-2003 04:05 PM

It looks like there is a crack or two. And not to mention looks can be deceiving. How much shaft play is there?

Drifter93 09-04-2003 04:07 PM

Why don't you just rebuild your's and if you have the money upgrade them at the same time.

jd93rx7 09-04-2003 04:26 PM

Yea, I think I found a better deal on rx7club.com...



I am having the motor rebuilt and am looking for a set of functional turbos to slap on while the motor is out. I am looking to sell the car though.

Drifter93 09-04-2003 04:57 PM

Sell the car, why?

papasmurf 09-04-2003 05:01 PM

if it means anything im going single in about a month once i finalize which single i get and ill be selling my twins. they were brand new 6k miles ago, with NO problems who so ever. ill inspect em before i sell them to see if there are any problems i cant see.. the highest boost theyve seen is 15psi a COUPLE TIME ( blew pipes right after each time)

jd93rx7 09-04-2003 05:06 PM

no way in hell i can afford it anymore.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

It can be annoying at some point. And you have to draw the line when enough is enough. Well Good luck.

jd93rx7 09-04-2003 05:12 PM

Trust me tho, I SHALL RETURN https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png once I save up some money ill buy one w/ a blown motor so i can have one not as a daily driver....

Drifter93 09-04-2003 05:46 PM

Sounds like you got a plan.

FikseRxSeven 09-04-2003 06:43 PM

if you want ill sell you a set of turbos with 60k miles for 200 bucks but you pay for shipping

JT-Imports 09-06-2003 06:56 PM

WORTHLESS Turbos. The crack in the second picture from port to port is BAD. I wouldnt buy those for FREE.



The other crack isnt terrible, but like most said looks can be deceiveing



Anyway good luck with it...

jspecracer7 09-06-2003 07:04 PM

By the looks of the picture, there's a crack in the front turbo exhaust housing next to the wastegate. If the crack is REAL bad, you could have a crack that follows all the way into the wastegate, which would prevent you from boosting extremely late.

JT-Imports 09-06-2003 07:11 PM

Yeah thats what im saying. That crack looks pretty bad, it looks like a crack and some of the manifold has broken and some small pieces fell off. I had a customer a while back with the same problem and they told her she needed a new engine HAHAHA, I wouldnt say that but I would say you need a new set of turbos since you cant get just those parts from Mazda.
