Alright I have come across two 2g gst's for dirt cheap. The one had a good(????)motor the other a good trans. So I put the two together. Now it starts up and idle's fine. I let it run for aout 15 mins. Then tried to rev it up. It revs up to about 3k rpms then bogs its self back down and it makes a CRAZY whining sound-not hissing (kinda sounds like from the turbo) when you try to rev it fast. If i slowly rev it still wont go past 3k and it dosnt make the whining sound. Its a 2g with a 14b on it. I have no previous use of either the motor or turbo to know if either are good or bad. The turbo has very little shaft play and seems to spin fine. I held the UICP (stock) and the turbo is pressurizing the piping. Compression check 180 across. But the pulgs were stright black. Any body got any idea on what might be off. Also it seemed to keep smoking and not fade off when it warmed up ( its cold as crap out).
