Rebuilding motor, need suggestions

[turbotalon1g]

Ohhh my Christ isn't that what I said pretty Fucking much to begin with. Your a piece of work you know that. Pretty god damn funny you never agree with anyone unless a mod or proven member says the say damn thing

I asked that you stop with the lies, but I know its tough.
I usually bump heads with everyone, because I'm one of the few that will post my opinion on here and not just talk shit behind everyone's back.

I also agree with steve on this about the head design and I know that I'll take a 2g head over a 1g and I'm 100% sure that mitsu somehow improved their head design/cast from 1995 to 2003 and later.

The secret to a 2.4 Evo is the headgasket you use. :D

Interesting fact: I get administrator emails as a post was reported :).

Back on topic to the OP:

You really need to be realistic with the intentions of the vehicle and your goals, realistic goals. Many builds have been delayed to a poorly designed "map to success" to where money dries up or vehicles are without supporting mods. Nothing worse than a built motor that needs frequent refreshing and is slower than a stock motor car + turbo upgrade.

Well a update

Pretty dead set on a 2.3 looking at map stage 1 2.3 with stage one head assembly etc BUT Im looking at a tad over 6,000 for that plus i wanna refresh my t case and rebuild my twin (needs to be done) plus need misc items rotors coils turbo etc.

Anyone got any other suggestions to save some $ 6k is a lot!

Do a leakdown test. Could just be the head. These cars seem to get gunky valves every 50k or so for some reason.

[tmosser]

Yeah but since it has 115k wouldnt ot just be best to rebuild the whole thing?

[goodhart]

See what the leakdown shows first I say.

This is chukee's old car? A few of us were discussing in the shoutbox the other day, I think I remember they said it had valve problems before, I would not be surprised if the bottom end was perfectly fine. Get the leakdown and hopefully it tells you the low compression is due to valves.

On another note, I can't believe stage 1 long blocks are going for $6k these days, I thought I was crazy for spending $3k on a really nice 2.3 like 5 years ago, ported head, radius valve job, line honed, the works.
