yeah as long as he dosnt charge an arm and a leg... im starting to get pist at this damn thing. i called jarcoinc and they havent had any engines for like 6 months and wont have any for a while.
thanks rider... im going to buy the engine for her this weekend. not sure yet if i want to install it myself of take it to a shop and let them play with it and get a MHG on that sucker.
also..where should i buy my engine from? ive been thinking jarco or osakajdm
well i dont think i have all th parts with the engine i have now. so im not sure wh at i want to do.. how much can i get a rebuilt engine for? are they even that great? i was looking at jspecautosports' rebuilt engine with a 12 month unlimited mile warrenty. i dunno how much it cost though. i...
well heres some pictures of the car.
ive been thinking about buying a used jdm motor for around 900 bucks... its about the same price as just getting another head and a valve job pretty much... let me know what you all think i should do...
well I know I'm gonna need help. I've never put an engine together so I don't really know what I'm doing. all help and donations are excepted lol.
I'm going to need a head prolly. I foound one at a junk yard for 325 that was on a car with a blown hg. so far I'm looking at close to a grand...
well the dash is grey and the door panels are maroon and the car is painted maroon... there really isnt any other interior lol
so as i hate maroon.... i think ill just buy some racing seats. or maybe i can use the nice leather seats out of my daytona heh. and maybe i can use the nice garret...
well ill looking to hit 500 hp from this car... so i guess im gonna need to know some shit bout compression... im not sure if a 3mm head gasket is going to like 20psi.:icon_conf
well i could try that.. but im risking it as they dont know how much was milled the time before. so its possable that it will work, or it could just blow up lol. and i really dont feel like spending 300 bucks on a head gasket. 200 is ok.
also... wont using a 3 mm head gasket change the...
gah... so turns out my head is shot. torque freaks said that it was previously surfaced and it needs a deep surface this time so its kinda shot or im risking blowing up the engine... sooooo i need a new head! yay... not.
so anybody *local* got a head they wanna sell?
local is portland...
so i bought a 87 supra from my nephew in peices. so im trying to put the darn thing together now with not the greatest luck. i presume that there prolly isnt any junkyards with supra parts round here in portland? im doing the auto to 5 speed swap, getting a valve job and surfacing the head. and...
yeah i think im going to take it to torquefreaks. (they are local here in portland, lucky me!). i trust them more and they can do it all for about $100 cheaper.
i dont think i would be able to do the job myself.. i dont know shit about inside of engines, but im hoping my project will go...
well the cams are still there and stuff. they said to remove all the stuff and surface it and do a valve job would be about 650. 550 for the valve job and 100 for the surfacing. i dont really want to pay 650. seems like too much for cleaning crud off of a few valves
I took my head in to get milled and they said it might need a valve job. so they tel me 550 for the valve job because they have to adjust the shims and what not and its a bitch. I looked in my tsrm abd didn't see anythng about adjusting shims so I'm wondering if they are just trying to hamer me...
