The news just said Paul was driving..? Just wondering...

Its def not swapped. And im not car illiterate by any means. I was wondering if it was running lower or high compression ect if it would be able to do what its doing on forged internals. I can tell you that it deff doesn't take 10 seconds to hit 60 either. Im going to time it tomorrow morning...

I dont get this... Everyone says that the P5 is so slow... Is my P5 not stock? From the stop light i can beat almost any B-swapped civic, its def faster than my turbo (yes turbo) grand prix, and once i hit 3rd gear i can keep up with my friends v6 mustangs. Then i hit forth gear and i wonder...

I have a P5. Im guessin the amount of room under the hood is the same. You mentioned that the probe guys are running turbos on the more stock K motors... Is there enough room to turbo the K in my P5. Id rather save the money to have to build up the four and have a lightly boosted K motor. Thoughts?

Threw a rod thru the block eh? So the week spot is the rods n pistons. In that case maybe ill just do those now n rebuild the whole thing.

It's coming from the head. An additive u mean? :s I'm guessin with that many miles I need to adjust lash, could that create that much noise tho? I'm goin to Change oil with my magnetic oil pan on Friday so ill let ya kno! Thanks for quick reply

I had posted in a new thread that my engine was kind of erratic outside of the EGR prob. I'm guessin the seafo removes carbon build up. I also don't like dumpin junk in my motor but I'm might just try it.

So I was Havin the same issue. Finally got around to stop being lazy. Anyways I've noticed a lot of people have this issue and I finally found the issue, least in mine and a few friends cars. In the P5 the tweeter on the pillar shorts out, when that happens the CD player will turn on but the CD...

Is this pretty effective? I used it in my gas tank but not thru vac lines yet...

I think I understand this concept. But is there much or any benifit for this swap on NA setup. Stock motor (for now)

Just picked up an 02 P5. I love it! Maybe a Lil too much. Anyways I paid for the car before I actually saw and drove it and the miles were a little over the claimed numbers. The car and engine have no smoke or problems what so ever which is surprising. I will be doing timing belt water and oil...
