Starting bid is 10000 yen roughly $95.00. too bad I cant afford to get that bastard shipped.

It is a 12a at least that is what the auction title says.

Few little details only had 3000 km when removed from car

was dyno'ed at 280 ps and would easily do over 300 ps

Not really sure on shipping if you remember those volk racing wheels I got Fed Ex wanted about $700.00 to ship those from Tokyo to Maryland. That was rediculous. I had my friend at Yokota AB, pick them up from my Japanese friend and ship them to me for about 80.00 for the set of 4. That was a good price. But for the engine it is outside of the weight and size limitation 70 inches 70 lbs max for the base post office.
I have another friend that sometimes imports stuff from japan. He has rents space on a shipping container, but I have never actually used him to bring stuff to the states. He can bid and have it shipped. Although, he lives in VA so you might get screwes a little on shipping from japan to the east coast to the west coast. Also I can only get ahold of him through email and if I catch him online and he needs money upfront.

Figure after all that you can make your own exhuast manifold and put two turbo's on yourself.

Japanese menu Just point at the pictures, they will bring out what you order.

BTW thanks for all the help on the float, you did go above and beyond. I should have the urethane one in 2 or 3 weeks. Called my japanese friend and said buy it now, I need that bad. Hopefully he will have it by next friday and my military friend will pick it up and get my other items too.

Things I have coming
The old school HKS BOV the all aluminum one
Greddy 60 mm oil pressure guage Electric (Might sell)
Greddy 60 mm EGT Guage Electric (Might sell)
Then the weber IDA urethane float and mystery emulsion and main fuel jets.

I also have a Greddy 80mm boost gauge that I might sell with the above guages.
Since I have the wideband O2 now the EGT guage kinda became useless to me. But I will decide that when I get the rest of the items and see how things go.

Just more down time for a car that never seems to move BTW that wideband O2 is nice it was a instant tell tale that I was flooded.

Hey, it`s over in Nagano pretty close to where I am... Went for about $400. Not a bad deal, but with shipping to the US...
Yahoo does have some cool stuff from time to time. Though 1st gen stuff is kind of rare compared to the states. GOOD 1st gen stuff is definitely getting rarer these days.
