Well I finally did a compression test on my car, and 1 apex seal on each rotor is at 50psi, vs the others at 100.. That explains the excessive turbo lag, full boost by 6k...



So I'm going to rebuild it, good thing I have experience with bigturbo rebuild:)



I want a half bridge port too, maybe have bdc do it for me, and upgrade the rest of the **** inside..



And a t66 or to4r https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

Holy **** dude...that sucks. When I saw the topic title, I was like "nah...cant be his car"... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png



Well, go w/ a full bridge you *****, lol. I'm goin w/ a full bridge whenever I pay off some bills and such, then I'm gonna find a blown T2 and swap my motor into it..thats the future plan.





Best of luck to ya!

Didn't you just rebuild this motor???

Rotaryman88 09-10-2003 05:49 PM

He got it used w/ "under 10K" on it..which makes me wonder E, are you gonna be able to get any money back on this deal?

vosko 09-10-2003 05:51 PM

Probably not even worth it, since Jspecs are so hard to get and I don't want to wait around looking for another ******* motor. Even tho I do have a backup t2 motor https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... But its only going to cost me $500 to rebuild it with new apex seals and such, I'm going to try those new protype ones out https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png . And I want big ports anyhow! Not a huge deal, but I'm getting rid of that hyrbid turbo/t2 hood/polished uim ported tb etc. Time for some big upgrades:)

Rotaryman88 09-10-2003 06:07 PM

Your motor was Jspec? I thought u bought one shoreside??

Yea I did, its a aspec motor. But I'm saying If i send it back, they don't have another motor. I'll just suck it up and get some more rebuilding practice.. Gotta have experience if i want my own shop.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

Rotaryman88 09-10-2003 06:19 PM

Too bad ur not closer to us man, we'd let ya in our our new shop...whenver we get the lease for space! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

I'm going to try the atf trick.. But Im pretty sure its FUXORED https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

vosko 09-10-2003 07:26 PM

the engine in my T2 was FULL of carbon. still has good compression but it should be great compression now. the carbon made the red atf come out black.... pretty sick https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Rob x-7 09-10-2003 07:51 PM

I would have thought you did ATF before the engine even

went in? While it was sitting around?

I had oil inside of it while it sat, going to try atf tommorrow.

I just restested it too, 2x 50psi 1x 100psi https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif



But yea I've got a lot **** for sale in the forsale sections..

Going with a large streetport I have decided, and a to4s or t60/t62..

fmic/fd manifolds, and im going to polish the entire engine this winter https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

Rob x-7 09-10-2003 08:25 PM

some ATF/MMO would have been nice sitting in there this whole time it didnt run.

Too late now, It shouldn't have MASSIVE carbon deposits with under 10k on it....

Rob x-7 09-10-2003 08:31 PM

10,000 hard miles perhaps?

rotarychainsaw 09-10-2003 08:35 PM

I thought wussy driving builds up carbon.

vosko 09-10-2003 09:19 PM

maybe it wasn't running right??



i just put two quarts of ATF in the T2 engine sitting on the bench... alot of the carbon is gone now.... all of it should be gone by the time i actually start it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Its almost winter anyhow.. No big deal, just pushing my future plans REAL fast.

I knew something was up when you car idled like **** at my house the other day. I was thinking it was just your vac leak from your secondary injectors but that didn't explain the "bridge" idle. :( sorry to hear it man. At least that explains why it was so damn gutless https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR Time to wake that car up with a real setup https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
