So it finally happened. My daily driver speed had an engine failure. Rings aligned on cylinder 1. At 176k of hard driving the baby finally had enough… Or so it thought Forced to get another daily driver, and unwilling to sell I am now in the position to dedicate panda to the art of racing. And 50k engine is on its way, to help it breathe better we’re going for a TR6, FMIC, EWG CST4, and TurboXS exhaust, I’ll be swapping the current parts I have which include CAI, HPFP, EGR delete, 80A RMM, and a spin on conversion. For engine health I’ll also be adding a catch can, BSD, oil pan baffle and some other goodies. I’ll be swapping my suspension over to KSport RR coils, adjustable rear camber arms, adjustable endlinks and the whiteline bump steer kit. I’ll also be adding an 80a passenger mount. I’ve already started stripping and selling the interior, I’ll be fitting a harness bar and bucket seats until I get a roll cage. I’ll be once again tuned by PD Tuning if Will ever gets back to me. Let me know if you think of anything I should add or change anything!
50k motor? If it's JDM, it's gonna fail. We'll known for being garbage. Cancel the tuboxs manifold. Get the Corksport for $200 off and no broken welds. Cs intake manifold as well. Baffle is available from Damond Motorsports. That's just a few I thought of in my pre-coffee slumber.
Thanks! Where would you recommend I source the motor? Jegs has a reman for 3600. But that is a bit outta budget
Overspeed is in California, but not sure if he's building right now. That said, Fattimotorworks is a reputable scrapper and I see he has a motor. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256373539080?hash=item3bb10dc108:g:rpQAAOSwWWZlXWHd. Obviously message him about shipping. I have known him personally for probably 15-20 years now and he is a good company.
