Well I took apart my motor today.

Soon as we pulled the front iron and removed the rotor, 2 of the apex seals on the front rotor fell into pieces, one was missing a big chunk. After removing the rotor the front rotor housing has several HUGE gashes. Removed the rear rotor and the same. 2 of the apex seals were in 4-5 pieces; and the housing gashed badly. Everything in this motor looks brand new, every bolt to bearing is PERFECT. All the irons are MINT. I think im going to buy new housings, and reconsider the bridge port. Either way the to4s is out, going bigger, probably T66. I'm also going to take out the dash, rip out the HVAC controls and rewire it all..



But first a need I reliable beater to get to school, maybe an n/a Rx-7.. I need to pay off some debt too.

Now thats gonna get costly.if your porting it then you might as well get a bigger turbo to go with those ports.A t04S with a good street port would haul ***.Sorry to hear about your car.Your starting to make vosko look good now tho.
