I bought a 1997 sierra with high miles 4x4 and cosmetically good looking for 1500 bucks. Just because people try and sell things on craigslist for a ridiculous amount of money doesnt mean it ever sells.

Exactly, people on craigslist always try to sell shit for 3 times what it goes for.

For the condition this is in it's not worth half your asking price. This truck is beat to shit, It's 2wd and not even a 3/4 ton.

Sold

why did you build the motor if you just put a t25 on it? were you planning to upgrade in the future?

Heath answered this pretty spot on. But show me one stock turbo d series that has any real miles on it? They don't exist as they blow up from being wholly under built for regular turbo duty.

Any idea how much power it's actually making?

To be honest i have no idea as this has never been on a dyno. I can tell you i ran low 14's at 100-105 mph with horrible launches (fail). I would guess 160-180 hp maybe but the power band is not typical turbo Honda. It is more mid range then top end as i built this as a daily driver not a race car.

The RFL had it's moment in 2005ish, as being the loudest "I have a turbo AND BOV" mod available. The problems 99.425% of buyers have experienced were:

1. It seized, causing the top of it to fly off of it due to pressure
2. Top flew off after a bit of use, due to aluminum threads that are tiny and would strip themselves raw of threads
3. Become useless unless lubed nearly monthly (the 'o' ring on the valve loses its ability to slide easily, causing a boost leak)
4. Blew off too easily over time, as the spring inside became to soft, requiring 10+ washers to keep it on target
5. Attracted a ton of attention, which although often sought after, leads to people wanting to 'race' on the streets
6. Every shift has a loud annoying blow off (when #1-#4 weren't present)
7. Given the mechanical quality poorness, never really offered what it was intended for....protecting your vehicles components

Jeff, if you want a quality BOV, stay away from the BOV's that are not 'maintenance free'. ** HKS, Greddy, Tial, etc... are good options.** In my years of experience, I would personally avoid the TurboXS unit as well as the Perrin BOV, although the Perrin unit is a better design that shouldn't blow apart, it still requires your to lube the 'o' ring on the valve semi-regularly.

Wow, I did not know that, thanks.

Anyone have a good reliable BOV then?

Are you serious? :icon_scratch:

The bad:

• rust, It has rust and is only going to get worse unless taken care of. It hasn't bothered me but it is one of the big negatives of the car.
• Rear end collision, this car was rear ended hard and as a result the passenger rear door is misaligned and is hard to shut but stays shut. Will need frame work but i was quoted between $500-700 to fix it.
• Truck is held shut, The truck latch finally gave may this winter at the coldest time. wouldn't stay shut so i tied it shut with a rope. (ghetto but works)

Why not spend $5k on a k swap that would get it's ass kicked by a turbo d series. Power potential, LOL :icon_puke_r:

Well i wouldn't mind taking a look at it. text me at 701-238-4855 to set something up.

i personally think it went well. it did suck to wait at times, but who am i to bitch about track operations. I had fun, and it was well worth the money so i will be out again.

Condition of head and generation? what is and isn't included. I do have some things to trade (have cash also) if the head is what i'm looking for.

All the times when i was at BI dont ever recall you actually working... Just talking about how you had to do this and that but never anything came out of it. But yet you had all that equipment and stuff with no income coming in but I'm the spoiled bitch? And me being a moron? Congrats you know more about cars then me!!! Want a medal? Makes total sense I guess coming from the kid with a G.E.D. What do you have to show for your life? Your guess is as good as mine I know that much. Let me know when you find something.
