Ok so here is the deal, I'm going to be moving really soon and i need to get this out of my buddys garage.
I bought the car from my buddy about 8 months ago, The car smoked bad and was a complete slug. I took it apart and replaced the motor with the motor that i had for my last car, I also replaced the turbo that was on there. When the motor was out, I pressure washed the whole engine bay and re-painted it gloss black.
Info on the car:
200k Miles on the chassis, 300 Miles on the motor
-Manual
-4 bolt rear end
-Stock suspension
-Tan leather interior (Rear half of the car is gutted)
-HID's
-Battery was relocated to the back, 2 Gauge Wire, Plastic Battery Box
-NO ABS
The motor that is in there is a built motor, Mainly the bottom end is whats built.
Here are the mods:
-Block was hot tanked, Line bored, And bored out .40
-Crank was micropolished & the oiling holes were recessed
-.40 Mahle Pistons
-Manley I beam rods
-ARP main studs
-ARP L19 Head Studs
-Mits MLS Head Gasket
-ACL RACE Series Rod and Main Bearings
-New Mitsubishi front cover / Oil pump
-New Mitsubishi Oil Squirters
-Balance Shafts were removed
-Power Enterprise Kevlar Timing Belt
-OBX Aluminum Oil Pan (6.5 Qts I believe)
-New Mitsubishi Alternator
-Prothane Motor mount (All 4)
-Shaved & Polished Valve Cover
-Small 16G W/ Zero Shaft Play
-Tial Q BOV
-XS Power FMIC W 2.25" Piping
It has a ACT XACT 11# Flywheel, ACT 2900# PP, And a ACT street Disc
-It also has prothane shifter bushings under the hood
17" Rota Slipstreams W/ some shitty tires on them
-It has front and back drilled and slotted rotors on it W/ Ceramic pads
Here is the deal, I was doing the break in on the car and around 350 miles i noticed that it was starting to knock. The car had great oil pressure even when it started to knock. I think that a rod cap started to come loose, Either that or it spun a bearing... I personally think that it's one of the rod caps but i havent pulled anything apart yet and now dont really have the money or time to do it. The car ran AWESOME and pulled very nicely before any of this happened.
Right before this happened i did a compression test and all 4 cylinders were right around 175 - 180
I have all the receipts for all the parts, 90% Of the parts on the list were bought brand new, I have around 2K just in parts.
If you have any ?'s feel free to call me anytime 651-366-8682
The car is in NE MPLS, It has a clear title, Bring a trailer and cash and come get it!
I'll have pictures up here either tonight or tomorrow
