Thanx for the links but I HIGHLY doubt this statement, they havent had a turbo 12A since what 85? thats 17 years?

This turbo has less than 16,000 miles on it

they probably mean its been rebuilt. ****, i want it. $100, thats not ****, even since it comes with the manifold. if the turbo is bad, a rebuild kit isnt too bad is it?

And what you plan on using for a injection system?

I see he has it on there, in a seperate auction. Is a 12at a computerless system>?

Yeah, if all i'd need is that turbo w/ manifold, and the carb he has listed, i'd seriously go for it. Anybody know if that's all I'd need?

It's a throttle body, not a carb. You'll need a computer and injectors and all the other things to go with fuel injection.

Crap

When you buy a jspec, they all say they have low miles. Bullshit, if they were low miles somone in Japan would buy it. Don't ever deal with engineland in Montreal, I got a 20 B from them, when I inspected the motor I found no apex seals on the middle rotor, lots of carbon on the other two and I'm sure the turbo got destroyed when the apex seal blew through. I got my money back from thos bitiches.

I had actually planned a 20b conversion but ran out of money, I had a buyer lined up for the motor but before I was going to ship I pulled the plugs and saw a blown rotor. Since the motor was a pile of **** they had to honour the warranty. They picked up the motor, and even after seeing the damage, they still did not belive what I was telling them. They sold the motor to some sucker in California.

In the end I only lost $100 bucks, but that was my Jspec experience. In short don't buy anything unless you understand that it will need a rebuild sooner or later. Or buy a front clip!

Sorry for the rambling, my blood still boils!
