What is this turbo.....?
This is a turbo I listed on ebay thinking it was a 3rd gen turbo. Apparently the guy who bought it says otherwise could you guys clear it up for me.
And BTW it is for sale. $500

The exhaust manifold looks rotary for sure but some of the piping(like the peice that looks like it's supposed to be a secondary turbo elbow, as well as some of the rubber piping)doesn't look like oem FD piping. Also the primary turbo elbow looks a little different. 13b-re turbo's maybe? Although maybe they are the 13b-rew ones and I'm missing something..
edit* I stand corrected that secondary turbo inlet pipe resembles the shape of a FD one but it's still hard to tell too much from those pics.

Thanks keep posting, I was threatned by court if I dont take the turbo back.
I dont mind taking it back and refunding him the money, but I just dont want the hassle, and if its not a rx7 turbo then I have no clue what it is making it harder to sell it.
I dont want to be naive take it back and find out its a rx7 turbo. I want me and him to be happy, but I dont want to get screwed.

Everything is where it should be except for one cover plate which i think covers the wastegate (extra flapper which should be below the where the downpipe connects)???? (correct me if i am wrong there) but otherwise they look just like mine did when they were sequential. But I do agree that the intake or pressure tubing looks odd. Tough with all the pics upside down and all.

I agree with J.S.J
Those are NOT FD turbos, all that odd rubber piping in the first photo, and the weird inlet on one of the turbos, def. not FD turbos
I would guess cosmo, but that is just a guess.

those are NOT FD turbos. if my eyes dont decieve me they are the 20b cosmo turbos... (the primary looks like an ht-15 to me...) either way its cosmo... but if im not mistaken its for the 20b. -heath

Those are not FD (RX-7 13B-REW) turbos judging by the appearance of the piping. However, I don't think they are 20B (3-rotor Cosmo) sequentials, either, since it looks like they have two exhaust manifold inlets. I think the 20B turbo system (one HT15 and one HT12 turbo) has a sort of log manifold that I don't see there. That leads me to guess that they are HT10 sequentials from a 2-rotor Cosmo (also a 13B-REW, IIRC, but different from an RX-7s). The RX-7 sequentials are slightly larger HT12 turbos.

the 13b cosmos had ht-10's??? the fd has 2 ht-12's and the 20b has an ht-12, and a ht-15.... max you may be right that it is a 13b set though... its just that the primary looks slightly larger to me... lemme see if i can dig up another pic of a set of 20b's

Check this out. The way to tell if it's a cosmo turbo(s) is that the cosmo turbo has 3 bolts that connect to the downpipe. The FD has 4 bolts. I believe that's a quick way to tell those two apart.
