Yeah, that was nuts.

Shit... Cylinders 1 and 2 are around 165psi. Cylinders 3 and 4 are between 0 and 5. Doesn't even read on my gauge. Crap.

cody · 2007-11-16, 10:30 AM

Crap!

You sure about those cylinder numbers? Sounds like bent valves on both sides of the motor?

You know I love ya, cupcake.

Yeah, it was. It was also after I got the call going "the motor's dead, i need a tow" and we got the fun of getting that thing on the damn truck

I'm glad that particular one ended up being minimal........I just wish what came afterwards went as well

JonnydaJibba · 2007-11-16, 11:01 AM

Welp, I have AWESOME parents. I wouldn't be here without em. I know thats corny but they are the ones who are always there when I need help.

So with that, it's looking like I'm going to try and find a stock WRX motor. If anybody would like to assist me in the search, that would be nice.

What do you think Cory?

P.S. I just put that stupid header on!

100_Percent_Juice · 2007-11-16, 11:11 AM

swap that mofo!!

Dean · 2007-11-16, 11:33 AM

A clean snap at low RPM is what can save valves as the spring tension forces all valves to minimal extension. Or a couple teeth that just make it run terrible so you stop before a big slip.

Many missing teeth and a big slip especially on the drive shaft is the killer.

Joeyy · 2007-11-16, 12:03 PM

Give Paul a call at DB Tuned. Last time I was in the shop, saw a couple motors that he was building. Paul is good people and backs his work up.

Just called Paul while typing this. He has all the fixins (sp?) for a 2.5 at the shop just give hime the call. And he adds that 2.0 liters are for bitchs. Ok he may be currently off his meds but he'll do you good.

JonnydaJibba · 2007-11-16, 12:07 PM

Haha, I can't go that big.

Yep, I'm sure. BOTH sides. SUXORZ!

John, if you wanna swap it, anything that I can do, I'm down for! I don't know how far my shop will let me go, as far as changing the wiring and whatnot, but I'm TOTALLY in!

Alright. Well my mammy said to find a motor ASAP. I don't really know where to start, and I want to make sure I don't get crap. I'll call that guy I guess and see what's up.

For a swap, I'll volunteer to pick up the engine with my truck.
P.S. If it's from Paul.

MPREZIV · 2007-11-16, 12:19 PM

P.S. Would your parents like to adopt a 27 year old black guy? 'Cause if so, I'll go outside and blow my motor up RIGHT NOW!!!

JonnydaJibba · 2007-11-16, 12:25 PM

LOL. I'm just glad they like me enough to do things like this for me. I'm fairly fond of them myself

I don't want it to sound like "mommy and daddy" are buying me a motor. They are just paying for me up front.

Left a message at DB.

Yes you should... I have Moose's car here as well, (98 RS) and his water pump siezed and *almost* threw the belt!

Lucky for him, everything stayed timed tho, so all I've gotta do is replace the pump, belt, tensioner, and a couple of the noisy idlers, and he should be okay.

Bad week for RS owners... Shit, makes me wanna go check out MY car!

wrxkidid · 2007-11-16, 12:50 PM

Cory if you arent allowed to do it at Nissan your more than welcome to use the garage.

Maybe a SECCS BBQ + Motor swap??

JonnydaJibba · 2007-11-16, 12:53 PM

I like sex bbq's.

wrxkidid · 2007-11-16, 12:56 PM

[Borat] We make SECCSy time, Yes? [/Borat]

Cory's got dibs already, but I've got a 2.0L shortblock, and some semi-bare WRX heads in my garage, not to mention a stock WRX turbo & exhaust, ECU, and other bits if you want to come by and scavenge for what you need for a swap.

Kevin M · 2007-11-16, 01:06 PM

You gots PM Jon.

JonnydaJibba · 2007-11-16, 01:14 PM

Fuckin hell, my brain is all backwards now. Thanks for nothin guys. jay kay jay kay.

Cory, give me a holler when you have time.

Either one should be willing to merge just the harness for you too. So basically you can have the swap be plug and play.
