Just to update everyone alot of things have happened with my car since i got the turbo kit on i will post up a bunch of pictures tomorow i dont feel like doing it right now. so i got the turbo kit on and everything went smooth but i have a whole bunch of smoke coming from the exhaust and i thought it was a bad seal in the turbo so i swapped out the turbo and it still did it i later found out i had bad piston rings in cylinders 2 and 4 so i took the turbo kit off and and unbolted and tore apart all the plumbing and wiring to pull the motor. i am going to be pulling the motor from bottom. im useing the diy brian wrote up which is helping alot. i have all the pictures through the process of putting the turbo kit on and taking it off and pulling the motor.
My next dilemma that i have i need help from you guys besides a d16z6 what other motor will bolt right up and plug and play i want to make this motor swap as simple as possible, and if the d16z6 is the only one that will do that where can i get a d16z6 long block that i know is gonna be reliable at a good price.
on the other hand do you think it is worth it to rebuild this motor or do you think its not worth it at all. i know this is alot of writing id like to pre thank you for your post answers.
Thanks and pictures tomorow.
The morning sunset is no match for my smile.
