Purchasing a used DRAG gen 3 kit
Hey i have a 96 GSR, a guy is offering me a semi-complete drag 3 gen 3 kit for $350 . I'm going to look it at and see if the turbo has shaft play and what condition the blades are, (bringing my freind who has a boosted em1) The kit was on a b18b boosted at 7PSI stock internals. I am wondering if anyone has an advice how to check the manifold and also if you think this is a good idea. I want to boost my gsr with a nice reliable daily driven setup close to 300 atleast. I plan on getting it either hondata or neptuned.
Drag Generation 3 Kit hes offering has:
T3/T4 Turbo
Blitz BOV
Drag Cast manifold
Turbonetics External Wastegate
Front mount intercooler
Piping
Hoses
Steel Braid Oil line
Couplers
Clamps

that manifold is cast iron so it would probably last forever. I would jump on this deal now. Just replace that wastegate with a tial and you're good!

yeah it looks like one.
I agree that for 350 if all the parts are in good working condition its not bad.
check the bov and wastegate diaphrams and the intercooler doesnt leak along with the obvious turbo checks.
That charge piping kinda looks homemade so definately check those welds for leaks.

The manifold is fine, it's the turbo he is talking about. It's an SS autocrome .57 trim. It may live forever and it may live 100 miles. I have seen them go both ways. Try it and see.
Good price though.
