I have a 92 tercel and i want to swap a engine in it..I dont want anything for racing but i want something that i can mod to get atleast 150-200.The stock tercel engine i have now is dieing and i want to swap a new engine into it soon.I was thinking of a paseo engine but im not sure if they have the potental to get up to the amount of hp i want.

Dont bother with a Paseo 5E-FE if you want to run that power, it is possible to get 150-200 with that engine, but how deep do your pockets go? With all the modding to boost that engine youre better off with the 4E-FTE. you can get the turbo starlet engine the 4E-FTE, it will drop in. has around 135hp should be able to run 150 with it. Plus it already has boost control stronger rods etc...

ohh alright thanks..well i wasnt going to swap engines becuase next year my parents are getting me a 04 Rsx Type S but i have a oil problem.i was wondering why this is happening. Its either burning or leaking oil.I have to put oil in every 5-7 days and its rediculus.When i start the car up theres a big amount of white smoke that comes out of the pipes and it last useally for 5-10 minnutes.I was wondering how i can fiz this so i can keep the car running good.Is there anything i can do. Please help/

Boooo honda lol, nahh hondas are aight. alot of smoke? how much are we talkin? but it does stop right? well are you burning oil or leakin... or both, if youre burning the smoke would be blue.

[bulletproofkicks]

sometimes the smoke doesnt stop at all and its pure white smoke and Alot of it..Like if it wasnt windy there would be a mini cloud over my car lol.If its leaking i have no idea where its leaking and i see no spots on the ground or anywhere around the car.

sound like you got head gasket issues man my 95 has a blown head gasket and it smokes up the neighbourhood

[bulletproofkicks]

someone told me it could be a valve stem seal or something.how much do you think it would cost to fix this problem?

[4agetercel]

Expensive, if it were valve stem seals youd be blowing blue not white smoke though, white is antifreeze burning, blue is oil, but if you end up doing the head gasket might as well do the stem seals while the head is off. also burning oil is pistion rings and is youre burning as much as you say then youd have to get those done too. what do your plugs look like?

[bulletproofkicks]

befor i replaced the plugs.# of the 4 were fine.One of them had alot of build up.to the point where that cylinder wasnt working.After replacing the plugs it runs really good.Its just my oil is still getting empty tho i dont kno how.

[4agetercel]

sounds like your rings are done, unless the stem seal is like totally deteriated and falling apart. but it wouldnt make sense that only one cylinder is burning that much oil. usually all of them will be done if one is. id put my money on a HG.

[bulletproofkicks]

should i try replacing the rings head gasket and seals?Hopefully if i get these all done the car will last awhile.I was going to give the car to my girlfriend.but i dont kno how much longer the car will last if i put those parts in

[4agetercel]

I did it to my 91Tercel because it was failing the emission testing and it was burning oil like a pig, now it runs great, like a new enigne. Basically its an engine rebuild. A word of warning though if you dont do it yourself it is expensive for labour.

[bulletproofkicks]

Im doing ebverything myself.Can you give me a rough est. of how much its all going to cost me for parts.And do you kno of any places i can the parts for cheap? im on a budget.

[4agetercel]

Through a couple connections i got it all for 130$$CND. regular price is about 180-220 for a head gasket kit and 50-80 for a set of rings. I got my stuff from a wholesale place which i would suggest you find, its the most inexpensive. if you do end up doing it i can give you torque specs and bolt tightening sequence, also when doing the rings to the one piston at a time and put the friction bearings back the same way they came out, (top on top, bottom on bottom). same with the stem seals to one valve at a time. they're worn a certain way from runing and shouldnt be disturbed.

[bulletproofkicks]

alright sounds good..Thanks alot.If you could give me the torque specs and bolt tightening sequence that would be good.Im going to look for the parts and ill get bac to you about it tomrrow.Thanks alot.Talk to you tomorrow.
