Ok, guys cleaning time.

 

I have two Mazda RX-7 turbos, one is off a 1991 and the other off of an older I believe 1987-88. Both of the turbine wheels spin easily and no visible signs of damage.  The 1991 comes with the cast iron turbo manifold, turbo intercooler (in good shape – a few bent fins), a down pipe,  turbo water pump housing (with turbo water return)– its off the 1991 block.  I strongly would NOT recommend either for aircraft application – but, if you need a turbo for your other project {:>)

 

The other 87  is basically just the turbocharger.

 

I also have an assembled 1987 turbo 13B block with 9.1:1 N/A rotors.  I paid $600 when I got it, checked it over and found compression low on one of the 3 cycle from the rear rotor  - it was down to about 90 psi cold cranking, the others over 110.  Comes with flywheel (not flexplate).  Never had it apart. It’s been sitting in my workshop for  about  5 years.

 

Might  find a couple of old rotor housings and iron housings I could throw into the lot, as well as some other odds and ins.

 

I don’t have time (or energy) to crate suitable for shipment, so you would have to come pick up if interested.  Not interested in parting it out – take it all.  Everything as IS.

 

Make me an offer if interested – or if close by, come see then make me an offer.  Not looking to get rich or even recoup my “investment” – so don’t be shy {:>)
