well i have finally found out why my motor died and will not start up.....after a week of trying to figure out why i could never get it to start i have found out why. first i tried a compression test and was reading well----90-95 psi and three even bounces, everything looked good-----however, when i connected an air line to the spark plug hole and set pressure at 100 psi at the compressor i had air blowing all the way through past the intake..... :( so i started calling around and found that i can get a used engine out of texas with about 60-70k miles on it for around a thousand or a mazda crate motor for 2 thousand so i think im just going to go for the new engine.
many many many thanks to all of you that have tried helping me to get my baby going again |
man that sucks, happened to me to, instead of just the usuall im going boost. man its going to take a lot of time though.

well if you are getting a reman eng. why not go all the way and get some mods do to, who are you getting the engine from? You can have a StageII streetpor done for about 300 more. Just something to think about

The motors from Mazda are pretty good. I have one in the 91 coupe, and it has been doing very well. If you're not going to do any major modifications to the car then it's a good option.

my 89 GTU had a MANA(mazda) rebuilt in it when i got it. i never had a problem with the engine just electronics etc. i also chose to beat my car to death which was very fun. shifting at 8400 rpm just ask 13BAce https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

at first I thought, "big deal, I shift that high in normal driving, then I realized, your tach only goes to 8k, my redline starts then. ahhh, sometimes N/A isn't all that bad https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
