:dsm: ok i bought a jdm engine installed it myself. i got new timming belts and balance shaft belts. and the balcance shaft and sycronizned. ive got a few vacum leaks and my oil cap is leaking. i drove it for a few hours and went home. it was running like a total of 4 hours i let the turbo spool down every time i shut it off then it started to smoke real bad. blew the turbo seal. when i went to take it to a local shop to have my torque cnverter bolts tightened it would not start it just kept turning over and spin the motor aftr like 10 min of trying i called a tow truck. they took it to a shop and they did a comperssion test on it it was like 40 150 165 155. they are doing a leak down to find the problem but has any one had a similar problem happen to them.:confused:
thanks,
ryan
 
no some place in canada. but it turned out to be bent valves. so im fixing them and doing some upgrades at the same time.
 
I know a buddy of mine got a b16 from a place in canada and that look like it sat outside in the rain for a long time. I don't know if it is the same place or not, but you can't trust anyone anymore.
