I bought some parts on the Facebook pages. I have been told they were rare..

TRD Group A Cams.
These are 10.88 lift and 256 duration.

I have been told that Toyota made 3 or 4 cam profiles, that were 256, 264?, 272, 288.

The day I bought them, there were to set sold (256 and 272), that are told to come from a Trust shop car (the car used to develop the bolt on td06) and a group a race car, so they have MK3 history in them as well. The set I bought came from the Trust shop car.

Turbonetics T4 Manifold
A T4 cast manifold with external wastegate.

Came from a Kaizen Motorsport shop car. Jose himself made the spacer.

It is advertised as Turbonetics, but there is no engraving or label of this nowaday called HKS style manifold.
Some thought it was a Tredstone (discontinued), and here is what previous owner said:

Actually it's not a Treadstone. this manifold has some key differences. In finishing.
1. It has a step at the upper bolts.
2. all flanges are machined flat.
3. it was stamped at the flange.
this sucker is about 10-15 years old. I feel turbonetics made this then the factory started churning them out for godspeed, and threadstone. All in all a good piece.

It was purchased from turbonetics. It was an better version of the hks cast. It was thicker and never cracked. Hks one always cracked.
With a precision 67mm we made 450 at 14 psi on a stock rebuilt block and stock rebuilt head.

I thought I had posted here before, I guess it was a different thread.

As far as unique parts I have, let me see if I can remember...

I have IJ.'s oil accumulator. This thing has been around the world.



I have the second Boost Lab BL360R turbo ever made, thermal dispersant coating on compressor housing and CHRA, ceramic coating on turbine housing, 3" V-band turbine outlet





RB26 throttle bodies. Planning on a boosted ITB setup eventually. I actually have a full GTR manifold I bought (literally overnight parts from Japan...just worked out that way), planned on running it upside down

Going to make a front lip from BMW E32 vents. Dont know if it will look any good



Also have a Rajay T4 and Mark II Deltagate (Turbonetics) wastegate setup on the car. Parts and technology older than I. The turbo design is from the 50s, I have heard from multiple sources. Theyre glorified paperweights now, but I think theyre really cool. I should clean them up and take pics.

Plus I have the first (if not only) blue NGR Type S BOV



Our friend Javis from facebook made diffuser. Not rare, definitely cool

The very last brand new 89-92 taillight. I have two more on order, however most likely that will never happen.

All of this isnt even scratching the surface of how much I'll have when it's done, but isnt that how it always goes?

Wish i had a connection in Japan, so I could get rare parts like these. Where do most of you get your parts from yahoo japan auctions?

I think I stumbled upon mine on Facebook or eBay. I found a guy in Japan who knew just enough English to get it done right. Honestly, I'm sure there's plenty of Japanese people that would want stuff only available here as well

I live in Japan and rare parts aren't easy to come by even here, there's just not a lot if this stuff left out there. Most of the rare stuff i see on the market is coming out of Australia for some reason.
