ODD turbo engine

[Mogman]

So I am just wandering around and found this engine for sale on GP, what is odd is it has a tap for manifold pressure with a tube going somewhere and appears to have 8 EGT thermocouples, one for each cylinder.

Any clue what application this was used in?

Dont know what for, but it looks like it has sat outside in the rain with the hose on turbo inlet wide open....
That could be antifreeze in the bottom of container, but antifreeze probably wouldnt be on the supports near side of box.

Yes it looks like possibly just junk, just like most of what I see in the containers.

For sure it’s junk but that won’t stop someone from paying $3500 for it …

Well it is a GEP so unless it has a hole in the block or something similar it does have a good core value, not $3500 though, I was not interested in buying it, I am interested in why it was set up as it is...

Probably a test bench motor than they ran until it quit.
