Just bought used JDM motor

[OhMyGodfather]

2 things concern me

1) the intake to the turbo inlet is sooty, and grimey, not BAD, but one would assume it would be clean with a filter

2) the inside of the throttle body, after the butterfly valve has black slimey substance on it... now i know bad turbos put out traces of oil through the FMIC and piping etc, but is that just normal wear and tear from a boosted motor?

its a sr20det from a silvia s13 btw.

who did you buy it from and did it come with a warranty?

[OhMyGodfather]

yeah 14 day startup warranty for the BLOCK all accessories are as-is

i just want to know if the turbo is showing signs of death, before i swap the motor in, t25s are like a hundred bucks, not a problem, but i dont want to waste 2-3 hours and cut knuckles when i can do it in 10 minutes

then just replace it to be on the safe side, like u said T25's are only $100 bucks.

[UBERGRMN]

they only give you 14 days to start it up?

Who did you get it from?
