Default aw its a sad day...


Aw its a sad day!

Today will be the last time i drive my turbo honda. Im going to remove all the parts tonight and sell them off.

The reason? My motor is shot. Its old. I got it about 8 months ago from a freind for free..it has like 200,000 miles on it. I was boosting 12psi on it. The rings finally died. I did a compression test yesterday..

#1 70psi
#2 155psi
#3 145psi
#4 180psi

It still runs...smokes alot..burns lots of oil..but it runs. I need to sell off the turbo parts to buy a new engine. I think im going to get a b16a or something...but the turbo has to go.

I posted all my parts here...

Please lemme know if anybody can find a nice home for some of this stuff.

thanks,
liam

Do a budget re-build, file fit a set of over size rings, Maybe pistons if you cracked one, de glaze the bores and put her back together. May be you might get another 20,000 miles out of it.
