His was there about 6 months now its back at her house. Its getting the turbos and everything put back on and I dont know if its going to be an SL motor or VR-4 but I think she was talking about a wrecked non-turbo that she was going to buy the engine out of.

Peace!
Rob

It did 145mph in 4th gear at 4500rpm and was still climbing fast. It has about 120k on it and it was supposedly tuned up before he bought it at 117k. I know it had some aftermarket parts on it... BOV was definately aftermarket and VERY loud. Also the thing sounded like a fuggin jet taking off when we raced it loud ass swooshing noise at WOT. I didnt know jack squat about turbo cars back then so I didnt know that the boost gauge reading 28psi wasnt normal.

His mom is dropping in a used engine with like 60k on it out of an SL I beleive. Then she will be looking to sell it. Perhaps ill go take a look at it this weekend and check whats up with it. All I know is that the engine is fried because it was sitting at valley imports for like 6 months.

Peace!
Rob

and odds are it was the water pump (fairly common problem)

How many miles and how long ago was the tune up? Before it blew up that is.

All I know is the car over heated really bad something melted and all the valves bent... I dont know the whole story but I do know the engine is toast. She wont part with it for cheap because the engine is already going in soon. Its running the JDM turbos at 14psi each 28psi on the boost gauge and everything else is stock...

Peace!

Haha nice theory. Not gonna happen haha.

Im guessing the boost was to high and the stock side mounts couldnt keep up and it over heated.... resulting in his timing belt melting to the pulleys and bending all the valves. Ill talk to him for you and have him talk to her. She doesnt want to replace the engine because she already paid to much for the car and doesnt want to sink more into it so im sure she would let it go pretty cheap.

What were you thinking? Considering its AWD, AWS, blah blah blah its worth something... you could most likely take an engine out of a wrecked 3kgt non-turbo and swap it out... or splurge for more and get the JDM... if I wasnt so poor and didnt just find a great deal on a CRX shell id probably pick it up from her and do it myself.

So yeah throw an offer out on it and ill see what I can do. She also has an 89 CRX auto thats in alright shape that would be a good project car for cheap... might be sold though.

Peace!
Rob

Im sort of collecting transmissions now but would love the whole shell.

I beleive it had JDM 15g turbos ( dont know the jdm turbos on the VR-4) and it was boosting 14psi each... motor is toast but the turbos and everything else is salvageable. You could probably pick up the shell pretty cheap... 5-speed, AWD, AWS, electronic adjustable suspension, and exhaust, Active Aero, cd changer... the works on the car it has everything but a running engine 🙂

Peace!
