Mine was rebuilt with an eagle 100mm crank, JE pistons, MAP Ultimate Duty rods and has 12,000 problem free miles and picked up 10mph in the 1320 in the process. The build is what you make of it...half *** it and it will half *** you lol....good luck. If you can afford to hang on to it, stay patient and keep it! I'm glad I did! I went from 11.37@122 with stoc k bottom end and an FP Green (original) to 10.8@132 with the addition of the stroker set up and standard journal bearing FP Red. Have a BB FP Black on the way along with a host of other parts looking for 140mph traps.

 

Thanks Jason. It was my daily Yea I knew I was pushing it hard but I think what finally did it was I made some changes to my BOV and was overboosting to 30+ psi. I was actually in the middle of tuning to lower the boost when it let go. I should have been more careful and corrected the overboost issue sooner. One thing I'm glad about is at least I pretty much know why it happened and I know it wasn't anyone else's fault but my own. I'd be a lot more upset if this happened on someone else's tune or because of someone else's poor work.

 

I was seeing between 370-390 on VD Dynojet

 

Sucks man, sorry to hear it. I remember seeing this car in person 4-5 years ago in Pittsburgh.

 

Anybody know what used HID headlights typically go for? Trying to give a fair price for people that want to trade me for the JDMs I have.

 

Sorry to hear about your car. Let me know if you want to sell your headlights

 

Thanks bud! I'm working on a sale for the whole car but if it falls through I'll be posting a part out/ for sale thread.

 

cars probably worth about $8,000 now with the blown motor. If you can i would just rebuild it to a stroker motor and come back stronger than ever.

 

Honestly I'd rebuild the engine. That way, in your for sale ad and while attempting to sell, you can really hound on the point that the 'new' engine is effectively starting from <1000 miles.

I've sold and bought many a car, and when looking for a new one, I'm always very attracted to car a with high chassis mileage but low engine mileage. As long as theres no rust on the car or underlying damage, then 'chassis' mileage can seen as a little more arbitrary.

 

Believe me, I'd love to rebuild it if I had the cash but I don't right now and don't want to go any further into debt for this thing. I hate to do it but parting it and selling it is the best option for me.

 

You can get a stock motor for 2k and pay someone 1k or so to swap everything. They even come with oil cooler. Then sell for 14-15k and make money. Selling as is you will lose your ***.

 

What year evo

 

Did you check for sugur in the gas tank?

 

Never good when u see smoke

 

Wow first let me say sorry to see what happened.

That said as it sits your looking at 6k to 8k tops. I could see high had you not punched a hole in the block. The only person who would honestly buy this car as it sits is someone with 6-12k to dump right into the car maybe a shop but a shop wont pay more then 6k.

I personally would take out money to get a used motor and pay someone a grand to install it. Then sell for 14-15k thats a basically double what the build costs back just for getting it running.
