holy shit man. nice kill.

 

cant wait to see this in person...jbweld?

 

i swear u'r obsessed with JB! New bearing.. not fixing it with JB.. that bearing is Fawked!

 

....How much did the motor cost you??

 

no doubt that im coming with eric to see this one in person...

 

Just motor $450

 

Thats cheap! I cant find a deal like that anywhere.? Am I lookin in the wrong places or what? The cheapest motor around here is like 1200 for an all motor B16A1, no dizzy In/Ex manifold, or ECU...

I am done with my suspension, and I am now looking into geting a B series motor (whatever comes along "1.6 or 1.8") and I am lookin for a good deal, I want to get a B16 SiR III, but any B will do just fine, I want to rip it apart, port the head, get new cams, and try to run around 160-180whp N/A ...so let me know if you come across a deal on a head or block, and I will check it out.

 

i'll have a bunch of parts gettin ready in the very near future to be up for sale.. as soon as the weather brakes, i'll be concentrating on one motor & sellin off all my parts that are left over from the summer. I'll probly build a stock one for a backup to the forged motor but i'll have a lot of stuff avalible for sale

 

Hey guys, heres the update, i got it all put back together but for some reason, shit's a little tight & hard to turn over but it runs & i'm gettin a little bottom end noise, so instead of destroying it in a day, i'm gonna tear it back apart & find the problem.

Heres a pic of my turbo shaft, you can see where the bearings have worn into the shaft, more than just the bearings are going to need replaced here.

You can also see the accessive amount of heat that the turbo was seeing due to the bearing / unbalanced problem. This is now junk!

 

OK heres the update as of last night.

I fixed my turbo & it spins freely again! What a pain in the azz that was!

Next, i pulled the head off my motor & the situation is as follows, Block remains solid with no problems, rod bearings are up to par & it's ready to be assembled again. I cranked the crank manually & all bearings seem to be ok, i pushed on all the pistons extreamly hard whihle they were in a downword stroke & nothing budged. Sleeves still look & feel great. It's time to put this thing back together & make it last till the end of summer. The only thing that i really need right now is a new oil feed line coz the fitting on the end is now cracked & needs replaced. I'll snap some more pix for you guys soon.
