I Am Pissed

suprasforlife · 08-25-2006, 08:26 AM

It's probably further than 500 miles from you but I know where there is a 7m-gte for $450 but it is missing the turbo, not a big loss there cause aftermarket is better anyway. A friend of mine has it and said it is a strong motor. Its in a wrecked 86.5 which means it has the 6m crank unless whoever owned it put in a newer motor. It's from a wrecking yard and does come with a 30 day guarantee, not much but it's better than nothing. Pm me if interested.

see thats the problem
i cant travel far cuz i dunt have the money for a truck
to pay gas for the truck

and then the engine does not have a turbo?
hows that gonna be any good to me
thats one more thing that makes me pissed
i dont have time to look for missing parts
and the money to buy em

dont get frustrated with me, i know you guys are trying to help
im jus really upset with this situation
i was really looking forward to be racing with my car again

Supra2NR · 08-25-2006, 08:55 AM

see you guys gotta understand
im really a "car person" to the extreme
all the pple close to me tell me that its my personality
and i took the saying "your car is an extension of your personality"
to another level

in person, im a really quiet person
even when im mad, i dunt say anything
i let my car do the talking
if the guy sitting next to me said sumthing i dont like
or decides to piss me off
i wont say anything to him
but i will pull a hard drift to the left
so either he hits his head on sumthing or he gets spitted out of the car
thats jus how i am

when my supra went down, man,,, i was jus mad, and sad at the same time
all i want right now is to get back at racing
plus i cant make any money right now, i dunt have a car

Buy your friends turbo. You will be glad you did. Then if it need rebuilding, you can get the HP you are looking for. I don't understand why you would want to buy a used engine. You are still going to have to go through it and replace all the seals and while you are at it, you maight as well check the bearings, then you maight as well check the cylinders and pistons for wear, then you might as well have the head checked and probably rebuilt.........so, to me you are better off rebuilding what you have. Unless there is a hole in the block.

My daughter has my old 87 N/A Supra. I rebuilt it and each time I drive it, I wish my turbo had that kind of lower end torque. It just really runs out on the upper end. I think more compression and better breathing would turn the N/A into a nice drifting car. Lighten it up and stiffen the suspension up and have fun...... or sell it. That would give you some money to put more power to your new TURBO car!

If you really want to drive your car, you can get a re-ring kit for about 300$. It coems with all bearings, gaskets, and a new set of rings. Did you take your old motor apart yet? If it doesnt need any machine work, thats all you need. Otherwise search around for a new crank and a set of rods, or even just the number of rods you need that are bad, And you have an essentially brand new bottom half, And a good hg. And then just get arp or brand new head bolts and torque them down good, And you should be good for a LOT of miles.

Good luck, but you might want to make sure your buddy's 19 year old car is running right before you "test it at the races".

Just letting you know, its not hard to find a used engine thats running right...I got mine for $1000 shipped from PA with a 90 day warranty. Havent replaced anything but a crank angle sensor. Compression checked out great. I got mine from Ebay/JDMexchange.com. It arrived with 2 bad plugs and a dime sized hole in the valve cover. Easily swapped with my bad motor, along with other hoses and misc. things they cut off. The install (no hookup) cost me $1000 dollars, its usually $800, but it was 1000 due to them swapping out the plug/valve cover/preventive maintanence parts that were good on my old motor.

I almost know how you feel, but a RWD coupe with an NA 3.0 liter is not exactly useless. You can build it for auto x's, road courses, drifting, etc. If this isn't your daily driver than get the turbo, but keep in mind with rebuilding your NA you'd have a fresh motor with not much serious shit that can go wrong vs. having a 19 year old car with a tired motor...If you're daily driving the car, do some good bang for the buck bolt ons, get a coilover kit, some sticky tires, restore it some, and you have a fun daily driver...this is assuming that the car is a 5spd.
