Looks interesting, love the manifold!

Where is it for sale on and how much is it going for?

[mr324doors]

for sale in japan, goin for around $1100. auction finishes in 3 hours and im still winning.

[STATUS]

good for high 300-low 400awkw. i have used a few sets (they usually use TWO wastegates) make sure the gate is big enough to flow both turbos... maybe one of the reasons its cheap is his custom job was not so successful..

[mr324doors]

hmmm maybe..

[mr324doors]

well got it for $1,110 dollers.

exactly what im thinking

look where the gate is, nowhere NEAR the first turbo.

I wouldnt be surprised if it had major boost spike/control issues having the gate that far away AND after a merge from another manifold.

id be very surprised if it worked at all

Gotta love ebay specials

Yeah can definitely see what you are thinking there, though I'm not 100% sure that it wouldn't work still. All the wastegate has to do is drop the manifold pressure, and its going to do that regardless of where it is so long as the angle for the feed pipe to the wastegate is angled sensibly and the wastegate is big enough. To me, those basically seem ok. Thats my first impression though my confidence is similar to my confidence that I won't get salmonella next time I buy KFC.

[R31Nismoid]

Ye it will do it regardless in a certain scenario

The exhaust goes the path of least resistance, now looking @ that, its fairly nasty. Not good at all.

There is room for turbulence from the runner intersect, its a fair way to travel compared to the housing etc etc.

I dunno, it really is hard to say. It might be totally fine

I just wouldnt be surprised if you measured the turbo outlets onces its all setup and one doesnt follow the same boost path as the other etc.

For that kind of $ though iven if it doesnt work you could just get new manifolds made up and not worry to much over it

I bet the TD05's are shagged too

lol.. ok mr negative.. ebay specials?? try yahoo japan, and the japanese are very honest ppl, if they where stuffed im sure he would have stated that in his add. Im not sayin that it will work 100% affectivly with the waste gate where it is, but as some one elce said for that price your cant go wrong.. its not that cheap really, there are lots of rb26 turbo kits that go for around the same price all the time.. just have to look

[mr324doors]

i will let u know how they go when there on.

[STATUS]

oh yeah i should have mentioned they are pretty much ext gate versions of the T517Z range of turbos. The twin Td05 kit was discontinued when the bolt on T517z 8cm and 10cm versions were released.

[paulr33]

what about buying them and splitting it up as two seperate turbochargers

surely you could sell those in single form for $1000 each ?

take it from someone who has been buying parts of yahoo japan for over 6 years and travels to japan twice a year that japanese people selling stuff on yahoo can be just as dodgey as aussie people selling stuff on ebay. yes there are some genuine bargains out there, but do not take every auction description as gospel, or assume that some ingrained sense of honour will compell a japanese seller to declare a fault with something he's selling. and shock horror, there are actually full on scammers on yahoo too that will take your money and send you nothing.

note: I'm not saying these are anything but wonderful. they could be awesome. you'll find out when you get 'em. as I said, there are genuine bargains, but there are plenty of scams too. so beware.
