Good luck, but you might want to make sure your buddy's 19 year old car is running right before you "test it at the races".

Just letting you know, its not hard to find a used engine thats running right...I got mine for $1000 shipped from PA with a 90 day warranty. Havent replaced anything but a crank angle sensor. Compression checked out great. I got mine from Ebay/JDMexchange.com. It arrived with 2 bad plugs and a dime sized hole in the valve cover. Easily swapped with my bad motor, along with other hoses and misc. things they cut off. The install (no hookup) cost me $1000 dollars, its usually $800, but it was 1000 due to them swapping out the plug/valve cover/preventive maintanence parts that were good on my old motor.

I almost know how you feel, but a RWD coupe with an NA 3.0 liter is not exactly useless. You can build it for auto x's, road courses, drifting, etc. If this isn't your daily driver than get the turbo, but keep in mind with rebuilding your NA you'd have a fresh motor with not much serious shit that can go wrong vs. having a 19 year old car with a tired motor...If you're daily driving the car, do some good bang for the buck bolt ons, get a coilover kit, some sticky tires, restore it some, and you have a fun daily driver...this is assuming that the car is a 5spd.

car is a 5spd

problem is,
its hard to pass emisions in chicago
i think if you fail it completely the car can be junkd by law
ruled undrivable on the streets
i cant afford that anymore

i know the guy that im buying it from
raced him a few times
whooped my ass all the time
(aint afraid to admit it)
everybody loses

trust me guys, if i had the money
no car would be useless to me
if i had the money and time
my car would have had a 2jz by now
but i dunt
and im jus running out of time

Just rebuild the motor. Its not the end of the world when you spin some bearings. When i got my monte carlo (my first car, when i was 16, keep in mind) it had a rod knock from 2 spun bearings, It needed entirely new heads cause they were cracked, crank and 2 rods destroyed, And i had the motor out, found parts, rebuilt, and in by myself in 2 months, With ported and bigger valve heads(done by nick manarino at modern performance). And then a few days after that i changed it to a regular carb and vaccum distributor and put headers in it, again by myself(also added about 100 hp). And it seems like you have a garage or space available to keep your car, I did all this in the dirt in my yard over the winter. So im sure you can get that motor out and change some bearings. So dont go thinking your car is "TKO" just cause you have a few motor problems.

Supra2NR · 08-26-2006, 09:26 PM

problem is

i have no more space in my garage since my dad got hit with his car
and it already has taken the garage space

secondly, if im gonna rebuild the engine, i dunt wanna do it halfassed
and jus do enough to get it running

third problem, even if i go do everything that i want to do with the car
i wont get the horses that i want , no like by jus getting a turbo car
and then get the head machined, retourqued, new HG

thats why,
trust me i dunt wanna let go of my supra
but i am running out of time
so in my current situation
getting the turbo car is my best options

Isphius · 08-26-2006, 09:37 PM

Yes, But im just sayng, Your not doing it halfasses if you rebuild the motor. Your rebuilding it. Then its essentially a new motor. It will have new motor compression and lifespan. Then if you get the head rebuilt or a new head, The kit comes with a new gasket, Toruqe it down good Then you have a brand new motor, with brand new motor power and fuel efficiency, that will last 100k miles with no problem. Who cares if it doesnt get the power you want, You can drive your car and it wont break down. Even if you get the turbo car, The same thing could happen. And then your in the same situation with 2 cars. Work on getting the car solid first, Then go for the "power your looking for", whatever that may be. Whether it be a turbo swap, supercharger, nitrous...jet engine, whatever you wana do.

Supra2NR · 08-27-2006, 05:38 PM

the thing is
if im gonna rebuld the motor
im gonna use the money i was going to pay for the turbo

if i jus rebulid that motor
im gonna be setback for months
i got bills to pay
and i need to make money with my car
6 of my boys already left me behind
sucks they have turbos,

this is what i meant by i dunt have time
i gotta get back to racing quick

Isphius · 08-28-2006, 03:53 AM

If you want to make money with your car you dont really have a choice then to fix it. At least you know what is and isnt broken. How are you sure the turbo isnt going to be effed up in some way?

Supra2NR · 08-29-2006, 02:33 AM

cuz when i get the turbo
thats when im gonna get all the work done to that engine

so it wont end up the same way
