jdm motor
Been looking to buy one for few months now n want to use japan2la, but brian hasn't pmd back yet. So looking on eBay n found this one. What u guys think?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/89-92-JDM-MA...a9c600&vxp=mtr There's a vid on there showing a comp. Check needles hitting 120. Almost brand new!?! |
Without even looking at it, I can tell you it's garbage. I'm guessing it's the same video we've all seen before of a guy doing a compression test the WRONG way. If the needle bounces up, up, up, then lands on 120, that's an incorrect compression test and you should run, not walk, from that engine.
Wait for Japan2LA to reply back. It'll take around a week for him to get to you, but he's worth it. |
Alrighty sounds good. Thx
|
is it me or is the intercooler bent at the top?
i would pay them no more than 800 shipped. cuz seriously this is a huge fuxking gamble. it includes almost everything u need for a swap but that's if it works at all ... sure they don't charge a restocking free but it still cost 300 to ship it back. that's not how u run compression test man ... its the same video we all seen a bizaillion times |
Any specific reason why you want a jdm one instead of a usdm one? Just wondering is all, i just swapped a jdm s4 t2 into my car and i didn't even use the harness or manifolds, everything but the keg is usdm.
|
Yea thats wat ive been hearing so for sure I'm not getting it really dont wanna rebuild it. n I jus want to get a t2 motor jdm or us dont matter jus can't find any.japan2la said his shippment would be there April 6 but have yet to here from him. I've been working on car for almost 3 years now n finally got some money thx to having a baby lol. jus trying to get a good running motor that will last.
|
The baby took 9 months to arrive.
The engine from Japan2LA will be worth it too! |
True lol. It's jus I've been busting my ass last year with having the baby n wat not n wanna have jus a lil fun. Redoing the whole 7 interior, exterior full on wire tuck getting bored. I'm do a build thread soon so u guys can see everything. And the wire tuck is coming very clean n nice but a pain in the....lol.
|
We will have to get a local meet for modesto people going, i personally know about 4 other rx7 guys that would be down to do it. I personally have been working on my car for just about a year now. Lol
|
If you can get your hands on an NA block, to the 6 port NA-T.
http://www.aaroncake.net/RX-7/naturbo1.htm http://www.aaroncake.net/RX-7/4PortLIMTo6Port.htm You just need to find some TII parts and modify the TII LIM to fit. |
^^true dat. Had a buddy make 280 whp with his budget na-t running stock NA ecu, boost sensor, and afm on only 5.5 psi of boost, tuned only with an s-afc and running 850 secondaries I think. If you find a decent n/a block I have all the t2 parts you would need except for intercooler pretty much. Lol
|
I would be down,I jus hang wit my buddy n his mk3. That's not a bad idea ill have to start checking into it maybe hit up some junkyards this week. How much beating could the na block handle?
|
Many are making well over 400hp with no issues. It's all in how you build them.
|
Dam a lot more work than I thought it was. I much rather jus swap in a t2 for now.
|
Either one, when done properly, will be a lot of work.
|
Very true i found this,http://chico.craigslist.org/pts/2989008287.html. i havent contacted dude yet on it will in morning. Only wants 700$ what's the right way to comp. Test it. Don't think motor is in car.
|
Might want to try and get a usdm t2 for the same price. Essientially you cannot use the wire harness from a jdm engine unless you want to take on the task of cutting the harness and physically extending each wire by about 18 inches for it to fit to the stock location of the usdm ecu. if you usethe jdm ecu with the usdm harness, it wont work because the ecu's are pinned differently. So basically you are paying for an ecu and harness that you cant use
|
I would get a usdm if I could find 1. N I have an na harness I'm goin to use on it.
|
If you go to check that engine out, make sure you bring a fully charged battery and a compression gauge, and do a proper compression check.
