hey everyone havent been here for a lil bit but i have good news since my last post (5sfe blew out) i just purchased a 3sgte to be put into my car asap i have a shop doing it in the end it is going to cost around 5000$ is it worth it OMG YES but this wait is killing me (btw n/a owners you will probly be charged around the same just so you get a idea of what it cost for a 3sgte into your car) keep in mind this is a very good condition engine with low miles and a low milage tranny so i proudly join the ranks of the turbo mr-2 owners i will try to get photo's but by that time my headlights and border body kit will all be in (witch are sitting at my house)

heh ya..i got good and bad news well all good but more money (meh i saved for a reason) so they pulled my turbo off today to check it out comp. wheel is kinda chewed up, so at first i was like o crap....then i realised O YA i could just get the wheel rebuilt and bigger yay!, so in other words i am rebuilding it and getting the tdo4 comp wheel in it (mabe bigger who knows) and the good part they pulled the tranny apart there is a brand new stage 1 clutch master on it woot!

yet another find from crazy awsome japanease people....this time it is the computer

so..i get a call today, they where removing and checking all the parts to the engine when they pull off the ecu turns out there is a stand alone blitz engine management system built inside of the STOCK box...i have never heard of this but that has to be the most badass sleeper idea i have ever seen

I saw one of those Blitz ecu in Ebay buy ot price was $500 so you are lucky man I bet that is a sweet ecu.

they are a good find but be careful. they are tuned specifically for that engine with their mods at the time. after everything is installed i would take it to a dyno to check your a/f readings especially if you upgrade the turbo. you dont want to run lean on that newly installed engine.

worst case scenario get a safc and just add back some fuel. i had heard the only to get them retuned is to ship it back to blitz.

nepopolus · 05-10-2006, 01:24 PM

ya he said he is putting it on the dyno and retuning it for me

nepopolus · 05-29-2006, 10:58 AM
