Guy named Shane had this car at the Kansas City Geekout last month. I've NEVER seen a Bluebird motor like this.

What's up with the hump in the heatshield? The turbo outlet also goes down in stock form.

This is supposedly the stock BOV from it too. Looks different from all the ones I've seen from Bluebirds.

THAT is a fully intact BB DET intake tube. Never seen an intact one before. Mine was hacked off.

Hey ben according to Andreas that is a 97 and newer BB motor.
The manifold I just got from andreas looks identicall and the compressor outlet is in the same place. He told me when i bought it that in 97 they switched to front mount intercoolers and that is why the compressor outlet faces down. This is what i currently have sitting in a box in my living room.

help any?

Hey Rocketman I said that your turbo was a 97. The motor that has the turbo pointing downwards starts in 94 with the U13 Bluebird. All U12 Bluebirds have the turbo pointing upwards and they all have the topmount intercooler.

sorry my mistake... But at any rate this is a newer BB right? That would make it actually 94 and up correct? Off of a U13 Bluebird.

Thanks for correcting me Andreas
