Within the last two days I have replaced:
1 leaky water pump
4 leaky cam seals
1 leaky crank seal
1 139k oil pump
1 timing belt
1 hydraulic tensioner
2 idle pulleys
2 accessory belts
1 a/c pulley
? quarts tranny fluid
And wow, my car has come back to life. It's so much more perky than it was previously. Knock's gone down a bit as well.
[quote=""Caffinated Soap""]The 16G is keeping me happy right now. So, probably once I'm out of school and have a spare car on the side. I can't afford any down time right now. [/quote]
soooo, when'd you go turbo? i know you had at least partially done a decent NA buildup (ha.ha. ) and before terry asked i was about to ask whether that was true i noticed you went turbo.
The N/A motor is still complete and awaiting further attention. I chose not to pursue the horrible idle/oil issues I was having with it at the time and instead pull the motor out of another car. Like I said, I'll jump back into it, just not yet.
The turbo wasn't too long ago. It's rburnett's old setup. Single 16G, it's not massive but it's enough for a healthy 10:1. When the project is complete, the turbo will be on the built N/A motor.
I had no idea you were going with a turbo setup.
