FD experts - what parts are in this engine photo?
I know limited details but I can see a couple of things...
some sort of Greddy turbo (which one) ?
What kind of air intake filter setup is that?
Anybody notice any problems or concerns with what they see here?
I'm seriously considering buying this car and just wanted to check here first.

A single with the stock IC is not a good thing.
It does have an aliminum AST (wedged betweeen the battery and the IC), which is a good thing
Do you have anymore info on it than whats available in those pics? What kind of fuel setup or ECU in particular?

Yes the stock intercooler with the cutout for the air box left open is a bad set up.
I wonder if the car was run with that setup, or if an aftermarket intercooler was switched out.

I just hope that the owner never ran it hard like this... that would be bad.

The car has been driven like this, sure, but I don't think it's been raced...ever.
So are you guys saying that if i were to buy this car I would need to immediately put on an aftermarket intercooler...or not buy it at all?
43,000 miles, replaced engine and turbos at 40k, fuel management is PFC tuned by the shop. The people are terrifcally nice, just curious.

I would try to find someone local to you that has a modified FD to come with you to take a look at it and ask questions....

ditto what rynberg said.
On a further note, I can see the stock secondary fuel rail. This leads me to believe that the stock injectors are also still in place (although, I may not be correct in this assumption, but it is something you definately need to check out).

I'd call the mod incomplete without a new IC and fuel system upgrades.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and a new clutch to handle the power if he still has the OEM. And a boost controller. That's another $800, IF you do the work yourself.

Blah....forget it then. Too much crap I have to do just to make it a reliable car. I know it has an upgraded clutch, but the intercooler alone is enough to deter.
The search continues...thanks guys.

I was just pointing out that there may be several expenses necessary to make the car reliable. If he already has those mods, then just an intercooler purchase will be necessary (plus tuning).

A clean car is harder to find than an IC. If the car is really clean, like the engine compartment looks, then it is probably worth looking into.
SOme guys don't care what their cars look like but I do. Corroded lines, brackets, nuts, bolts, etc in the engine compartment all really bother me. That car is clean.
Also a bad interior is just as expensive to restore as putting in a new motor.

It took me 6 months to find my last FD so I'm sure it will take me about that long to find my next one too, especially now that I am more picky.

Well, at least it has a fresh engine. Offer the seller 17,900 - 18,200. KBB is nowhere near that anyway... Have you thought about inspection? Is it a concern where you live? What is the condition of the rest of the car? Did the seller state why a rebuild was needed at 40K?
