I recently met a guy that has a Stock S14 trubo with stock manifold and stock elbow on it. He is selling it for $250, but from what the guy said I should get it rebuilt. My friend said that EX engineering rebuilds turbos for about $200. Do you guys this this is a good deal? I'm really interested in the elbow since my swap doesn't come with a down pipe so I would have to buy a down pipe and modify it but since this guy is selling all of it. I thought about buying this now and using the elbow and later on use the trubo with bigger injectors and Maf , etc. Basically I just wanted to know if its a good deal for S14 turbo+manifold+elbow for $250 of course rebuild required.

i dont know about it if it needs a rebuild. the sr elbow can be had for next to nothing on ebay.. heres one for $15: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742 for the money (youre looking at $450 minimum) i would go with this s15 t28 for $600 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742

or if you have a grand to spend, here is the ultimate steal of the century. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742 - you wont get that kind of deal again, for the same stuff i paid something like 1400 bucks, or theres this; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742

hell, i even found you a s14! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=6783

- remember, ebay is your friend!!!

Hey tim thanks for the answers, I am really looking into buying the turbo elbow you show me but can I confrim with anyone that the O2 sensor bung is on the wrong side or is that another bung for something else?

Thanks,kim

Thanks Tim I bought it and now I'm tosing the thought of purchasing the turbo. thanks again, Yeah I did some more searches on the elbow and it is an AIV plug or something I'll get the Nissan plug kit.
