ok i got my new jdm engine pakage today i pulled the dipstik out, and as a habit i smelt the oil in it, kind of gives me an idea of what kind of shape the engine is in. any way i pull it out and the oil drips off the stick like its wattered down i smell it and it smells like gas, wtf did it mabey get flodded the last time it ran or should i just call the jdm place and tell him i want a new engine?? keep in mind this is going in a 85 Gs and will not get to start in 30 days ish

 

Whenever you buy a used engine from anywhere, be prepared to rebuild it, always. Looks like you need to rebuild it, if you can't get an exchange.

 

Well the gas smell in the oil is normal as far as I know. Mine has always done that .

I am currently running a JDM engine and I have run it for almost 2 years and that is even taking it to the track along with mods.

Not every JDM needs a rebuild as soon as everybody says. If you can get the engine running in that 30 day warranty then you can compression check it and see.

cool now i just need to find the s5 TII ecu pin and a list with all the wirering so i can figure out whats cut or maey you guys can tell me what the yelow medium plug dose on the ecu ??

 

From my experience jdm engines do not last even especially when pushed, mine only lasted 6000 miles with stock boost,, the japs beet on these motors before they trade them in , every 30,000 miles they get new ones. Save those housings, and put some good 2 piece apex seals

 

well as is my luck atf to free up the front seals did notthing, i did get 135 psi jumps from the rear one when i frirst did the thests i got 75psi, so i sent the engine pakage back and wating to find an other place to get a good running 13BTII engine pakage to put in my FB.
hey do you guys know if i can put a s5 na trany on a 13b-rew?? if so what alll do i need just the fly wheel off the s5 plus clutch and custume drive shaft?

 

I yet to find out who started this rumor I was even plagued by it when I started with cars. But it is complete Horse shix. But true most of them do seem to be beat on or worn for there mileage. Maybe they have allot of idle time.

 

why would you want to?

 

i can get a 13b-re for 1800$ can with a auto trans, figure i might be able keep the 5speed or at lease drive the auto then get a trany at an other time, i just cant stand driving auto # its boring #2 il get my slef killed manuel saved my *** way tomany time to go automatic. thats is till i get to old to push the clutch, then il move to palet shifting

 

if you can, always get your rotary with an automatic behind it... usually weren't bagged on as hard by our little inscrutable friends back east. lol.

 

yeah thats almost as bad as the "gtus is a turbo without the turbo" thing

ever ask a junkyard how many miles something has on it? they always have 30,000miles on it....

 

NA tranny's are known to be weaker than turbo tranny, I believe the figure is no more than 250 whp for the NA tranny, but I'm not 100% positive

 

some people say dont take it over 200 and theres always people pushing the limit
