New Engine, potentially new job
Posted On 06/03/2008 20:42:09 by mesarius
My engine finally came today after weeks of juggling finances, loads of phone calls, even the engine getting lost for a week.  There wasn't even too much damage to it considering the place I bought it from didn't even put it in a crate.  The wastegate actuator is trashed, exhaust guard is bashed, and a couple of connectors on the japanese wiring harness are smashed but the engine itself looks beautiful.  all the damage is easily fixed with all the parts I kept so that's no problem...

Engine and Tranny Swap on a Budget
Posted On 04/11/2008 15:27:24 by mesarius
This is sort of the second installment of my DSM repair bit, I thought I'd fill you guys in a bit more.  As I mentioned before, when my girlfriend(Sai12 on here)'s brother owned the Eagle Talon the used turbocharger we put it blew pretty spectacularily.  When I pulled it out it was so bad, shaftplay doesn't even cut it, it was far beyond what shaftplay would define.  The impeller wiggled around so much that the fins had been smacking into the compressor housing and had shattered i...
