...that is the question.
Blew the motor in my 02 pro5. Heard a "ticking" then a "knocking" and then an omfgwtf is that sound!?!?! So had the car towed home pulled the valve cover off.. the cams looked good all the valve springs still in tact spark plugs looked ok. So, went under the car and pulled off the oil pan...
A ha! theres a ton of metal in my oil pan! Put a magnet in the oil pan and ended up collecting 1lb+ of metal shards... rough guess is the rod bearing plus who knows how much damage to the internals.
Instead of wasting time i've decieded this block was toast and i needed a new one.
I've been looking at a few motor/tranny combos. I want to know what you guys think...
What should i put in my car?
FS-DE - MSP Motor 4 banger 170hp (+turbo)
FS-ZE - JDM Motor 4 banger ?hp (+turbo)
KLZE - JDM 626 Motor v6 200hp (no turbo)
FS-DE - is my first choice... but i can't find a decent MSP eng and tranny for under $3800
FS-ZE - is the JDM version of our motor. Will cost around $1000 for the eng and tranny shipped to my door. Cheaper price means more money to go forged....
KLZE - I was thinking it would be nice to have a 6 cylinder in my P5 but my understanding is you wouldn't be able to turbo it... Kind of a set back. But who knows... it might be enough power where i dont miss the turbo. Price eng and tranny $1575 Shipped to the door
what do you guys think?
