done for the night..Blocks just about ready for the machine shop. Thanks to all that helped me out thus far.

 

how many miles is int his motor before you tore it apart?

 

20k. i had a knock/tab sound coming from 2nd cylinder. I took everything out and still couldnt find a problem. When i unhooked spark from 2nd cylinder noise went away. The piston/rod looked fine. The bearings werent scored/damaged in any way. It doesnt matter now, Im using all new parts for the rebuild.

 

anyone know of a good head shop in NJ area? With reasonable prices

 

bump. sold my green. What turbo would be best for the 2.3l. Im looking for 500-550 whp. What do you guys recommend?

 

On what fuel? Sounds like a gt35 or around there if you want it on pump gas.

 

pump gas. 93 Im planing on running meth but not right away. What do you think of a red? red or 35r?

 

bump wheres teh best place to get the gaskets? I know i dont need a whole gasket set but i would liek to replace the important ones.

 

bump. Block goes to machine shop on friday. Any recommendations on machine work, what should be done. Im going with manley rods, weisco pistons. Any suggestions?

 

The block finally made it to the machine shop today. After 2 weeks of talking about it, I took the day off and dropped it off. The motor should be ready for pick up in 2-3 weeks. Im probably going to wait until right after christmas to pick it up. Thanks to all that helped out thus far.

 

What stroker kit are you using? You decide on a turbo kit to go with?

 

so what damage did u find done to cylinder2

 

Still debating on a turbo. My goal is 550whp. The stroker kit is put together by turbo trix (local shop) Manley rods/weisco pistons. 4g64 crank. Its just about the same as a sbr stage 2 stroker kit.

 

There was no damage done suprisingly. The cross hatches were still on the cylinder walls and they looked great. I think i took the motor out at the perfect time. If i would of kept driving it i would of had some serious problems. After i heard the noise, The car wasn't driving any further.
