For such a clean dsm I vote you should keep it. You may regret giving it up in the long run.

x2!!

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

I would like to keep it!! I dont mind fixing stuff here and there but when everything breaks at the same time 3 days after its done is kinda depressing. And I dont have the cash to just rebuild the whole thing..

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

Well, then something was screwed up once you put it together..things don't JUST break. Something went wrong. Considering these motors are one of the best out there, I'd take a step back, learn what happened, and go at it again. Don't give up. Surely when you had the ford, you dealt with breaking parts constantly! ;)

I didnt put it together. I got the car then switched to e85 and got it tuned. It didnt make as much power as i think it should have so something probably was wrong with it.



yeah I did deal with stuff breaking and thats more reason for me to sell it lol.. Im tired of fixing busted shit..

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

I don't know man, if you have a clean rust free 1g that has made good power, I would keep it. If you don't want to break shit, don't run injectors that are more than 3 times the size of stock ones and run a 14b at 12 psi, not a 61.


If you're going to mod it or buy it modded, be prepared to wrench a lot more than if it was stock.

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

^to a point, yes. But, as of late, this summer has been nothing short of putting gas in my car and driving. I kinda like it. It's as reliable as YOU build it!

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

Since this is more if a discussion than a FS thread I'm moving it.

OP: if you decide you do want to sell it please feel free to post it in the classifieds with all the info and a price.

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

Oh, I agree with that. But we all know how some of these "you build it's" are put together....

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

I'll give ya $50 and a case of beer for that junk tre :)

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

How built was this motor and how much power was it making when it blew?

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

I dont mind fixing shit here and there.. like a head gasket or if my stock motor goes.. but when everything happens at the same time it sucks.. lol.. and I have been into cars for a long time and am well aware of the price to play.. lol but It is getting a lil old..

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

IT is not getting old, YOU are getting old. You are hitting that point in life where you don't care to fix shit. You want a nice, newer fast car, stock, factory warranty. I can see it now..

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

Can't blame him for that, I'm feeling the same thing.

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

Same thing goes for your turbo problems? :)

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

Please don't turn this into a him thread... ugh.

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

^yea, seriously. And, no it's not the same. but, whatever.

Re: Whats a rust free 1gb worth??
 

I would be happy that you got a solid platform to work with.

Or buy a new honda accord/toyota camry v6 with a warranty and be happy that your in the 14's with a car that wont break. idk.
