my car had 150,000 but a HARD 150,000 on my first motor been to iowa and wa 4 times then wa to tx then wa. LOL not to metion i hot lapped it in tx at the track. I turboed the beast in 08 and it lasted a long time till i swtich to a t3 and shit started to give out.
If you spend the money on good parts the first time youll save money on the long run. If you buy cheap shit like i did you have to spend more money to get good parts. No ching chong meow on my 3g now. dont be afraid sky. Just do it.

Well, turbo motors tend to die in a more spectacular fashion, taking more parts out than a typical N/A build. I'm not too worried about blowing a motor up like this. I AM worried about killing a turbo.
Most of the parts I plan on using are OEM parts. They're either going to be Honda OEM, Subaru OEM, or Mistubishi OEM. Possible Saab or Volvo for some of the piping.
With my build, I'm going to be flirting with the edge of what the setup will give me. I need to be able to squeeze everything I can out of that motor without spending too much. Like I said, I have around $2000 to spend on the whole car, and I'm already in for about $400.
Nice. need to make a build thread. OR did i miss it some place?
200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
Build thread is there, but the project is idle until I gather parts and tools to do anything. I did try to get it running again, but I'm not getting fuel.
shit for piping use some ebay civic CAI. i have a few sections of that stuff in my piping haha.
and i forgot ur doing the time attack thing. if u wanna use my mani to copy, come up here and pull it off
There's one in the marketplace that I'll probably buy if I get the money.
So much for helping the guy lol might as well change the name of the thread
LOL. i was bout to say that. A its still bout turbos. LOL so good info for him.

Really, all of this talk has been a lot of help to me. But with more info comes more questions, and now I'm wondering about the ecu upgrade to obd1. What all do you need to do that, just a distributor and ecu or is there more you need?
DUDE!.... thats your old set up anyways....btw...your car is preaty fast....just no traction....lol...we need a meet so i can get a ride in the new set up

my car is faster :P
just remember, if you do anything ghetto, youll end up re doing it. Plus, my first motor died because of a main bearing issue, not pistons, not rods, not headgaskets etc... Im pretty sure that mains were damaged before going turbo (always heard a noise i could not diagnose) and that motor def had a hard life.
