Hopefully you found the shavings before damage was done. I know how it feels to buy a engine supposedly good, just to find out that the internals are toast:(:(
Well I don't know about you, but I think that is quite a clean car. I personally would make the trade, but I am a little biased towards DSMs to begin with:sneaky:. Is the owner only trading, or is there there a cash offer too? I would say its worth right around 4-5k, going off all the mods...
I also need the manifold to be externally gated if that changes anything about one being better than another. Either one will have to have the flange for my wastegate welded on, probably on one of the runners, if that's the correct term. It's not ideal, but it's what I can afford. I've heard...
I'll do some research on diy porting. From what I've read, isn't a ported 2g almost the exact same as a e3 exhaust manifold. I know e3 manifolds are stronger because of build materials, but if my 2g is in perfect condition, why not use it and save the money.
So is it as big of a deal to port the manifold as people say? I don't own the tools or knowledge to do it, so I would have to send it out to someone. Do people on tuners port manifolds if I sent it to them?I would like to get the most out of my turbo. Thanks
Hey Everyone,I have another question again, shocker, I know. So I recently purchased my turbo for my build (mhi tdo6h 20g) and everyone keeps saying "Just buy a 2g exhaust manifold and port it" I was about to do that when I took a second look at my manifold. I could be mistaken, but...
Thanks. I am trying to make the transition from the abbreviations I was taught before and the abbreviations in the DSM community. For example, I was taught ckp, but it is cps here. Slowly catching on though.I'll call the local junkyards and see if they have any DSMs they are parting out, or...
Thanks for those links luv2rallye! I guess I will wait to buy sensors until after I buy my shell I guess, in case some are already attached? I'm still interested to know where people go to buy replacement sensors. I believe I saw a ckp and cmp sensor on stm, but those are the only ones. Do...
I think that I will be going for the 1g platform, because I'm not ready to take on all of the extra steps of putting a 6 bolt in a 2g. Anyone have a list of all the stock 6 bolt sensors needed to have the car run? Can I buy these sensors used, or is that a bad idea? Thanks
