Rapier Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hello , there was a lot of time i havent post here ! So what's new to my car :ECU dead ( thats why the car has lot of trouble ), cant find an other one , and i wanted to open the engine to rebuild and surprise ... Two pistons were broken , see the pic attach files !Ive buy a big intercooler , and now i want to rebuild the engine with DOHC head ( because cant find stock pistons 85.5 and pistons rings ).and more of that , no ECU for the 8v !I go to an AEM EMS-4 ecu.So yeah im going 16v DOHC head from an 1G eclipse 6bolt , with forged pistons and rods and maybe a 2.3 strocker crank , not sure if i do that or no. I buy the head and all other parts i need to adapt my wide block yet.I have a question , how many torque the stock gearbox can handle ? Ive heard about rx7 / supra gearbox swap.Because if i broke the gearbox when the car is finish thats not cool ! I think im going to 400hp for the moment , or more if the gearbox can handle. Thanks you mates ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creakyjoints Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Surprised it ran like that. I wouldnt go over 400 with a stock transmission. Looks like you have been spending allot of money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creakyjoints Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Cha-ching is the sound of a old cash register. Means you spent allot on parts. Shipping cost must make you mad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thanks !Ah ok yeah for sure , anyway i have bought this car in the idea : i will never sell this car.So this is hard for me , more of that im a student, but with the time i will restaure the car and do what i want.But that's not cheap :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
