SO, after over a month now of searching, I can't find an engine replacement for my car :(..... This leads me to some questions for you guys. Would it be feasible to just buy a new crankshaft and bearings? Or take mine out and go get it machined? If I take it out to get machined, what is the...

Thanks for the information. So, what your saying is to try repairing what I have before investing in a whole new engine?

Ok, so I spun a bearing and don't think I have the know how to fix it (even with a mechanic's help). In any case, I think I'm just going to do an engine swap instead. Unless you guys think it would be more cost effective to just replace the bearings and crankshaft. I know the engine in the...

I am luck enough to have both a bother-in-law and father-in-law that are both cert mechanics lol. Now, to just get them to my house. Thanks for the info btw, i figured it would be something really bad :(

So, apparently, I have an oil leak at the master seal and didn't know it. Well, after a while, my car got extremely low on oil (down to under a quart) and started making what sounds like a metal clank noise from the engine. I checked the turbo and it seems to be fine. I checked for loose...

Which one exactly? I have the same issue with my car and was looking into getting the ARC1 from Split Second, but I'm totally not sure if that would be what I need.

I will be more than happy to post pics once they are off the car. I'm taking them off this weekend, so I will post pics then.

Thank buddha! Good to hear.

Hi guys, I still pretty new to this whole having a Turbo thing and have two questions about getting one of the CXRacing kits. 1. Will re-locating the MAF and/or increasing the airflow cause my check engine light to come on? I live in an emissions area, so stupid thing has to be off for me to...
