As usual now that that is almost done, I bought another POS to tinker with

92 Jimmy 4.3 TBI 5 speed 4wd, 170k, one owner, she is 91 and it hasn't left the garage in 3 years. Injector is stuck and it's puking fuel into one of the venturis. $800

Probably the non-turbo engine has a high compression ratio, meaning that slapping a turbo on there will result in detonation on pump gas unless you run low boost and a good tune.

ignorance.
also compression ratio.
i think the wrx is cheap enough that if you wanted the engine you could drive the wrx instead of the brz. thats my opinion, i kind of like the wrx more. doesn't steer nearly as well though.

there is nothing fundamentally wrong with high compression and a turbo, in fact thats what a lot of modern engines have, like ecoboost. but they are very conservatively tuned.

What's that?

I dont want to open another thread but i've been driving automatic suv since i learned to drive, so i sold it and thinking about getting low to ground, e segment manual car, what i should prepare for ?

The washer fluid reservoir?

>>17547086
Windshield wiper fluid tank.
Looks the same on all VWs, but it usually is close to the radiator, in front.

add organ exhaust pipes that are rolling coal, "truck nuts", flying a confederate flag, a trump bumper sticker, and then the iconic douchebag in a pick-up is complete

check if it is completly sealed

Before you blame the gas can, check and make sure you don't have an exhaust leak. Could be it's leaking CO into your cab.

You do know gas expires right?

very nice

Will eventually be the only way to enjoy certain cars. Some, of course, will disappear completely in time.

Fuck the Japs.

If you weren't brought up on cars and stuff then it might seem a bit daunting. But it's something you will learn as you go through with things. Try to avoid paying someone else to do the work unless you simply dont have the facilities to do it at home, For example if it needs a respray but you dont have a garage.

It's gonna be rather difficult if you don't have someone more experienced to help you out along the way, but you can still do it.

First I would decide on what I want for a project car. Once decided go find the online forum for said car and check out what other people have done. While you probably won't find out all the nitty gritty details you will likely a buyers guide and what free manuals are available online.

If you haven't already go and buy the car.

Buy a repair manual for the car, preferably the manufacturers manual. At the very a model specific manual like the Haynes manuals. I would avoid the Chilton manuals since they usually have little details. People at the forum probably have some opinion on which manual is best for said car, take this into consideration.

Don't have tools? Time to start buying them. For most things the cheap tools will be fine. Many like to buy the cheap tools, and if they wear out buy the better quality tool after that. Personally, I would skip the cheap ratchets, sockets, and end wrenches. At the very least I would get a good ratchet. Cheap ones have few teeth which make them useless in small spaces, also many don't stay going in the selected direction.

At this point you are pretty much going over the car and through the manual seeing what needs to be done. You can ask for help on the cars forum if you get stuck, but how helpful will vary widely depending on the community. Basically you are replacing a mentor with a bunch of random dudes on the internet. It's not preferable, but it's better than nothing.

Buy a car with other engine options. I did my first engine swap on an e30 going from an m40 to an m42. The m42 was also from an e30 so plug and play but it still took a whole 2 days to get it in.

After I did that I haven't been scared of any work really.

Another thing is try and get a parts car to rip apart and sell parts from. They are a great way to learn the ins and outs of your car without wrecking what you want to keep. I've recently bought a non running e36 for the hood, battery cables, lights and other small things. I've sold the shell and 1 part and have already made up my money whilst putting value into my daily.

Most important thing is to have another vehicle. I'm planning a swap on my car that will be 'plug and play' but i'm waiting till i have the garage space and a motorbike to start it. I'll then buy a parts car with the motor I want and take my time. Not being rushed to get a car back on the road is really important.

Use the forums associated with your car. Read them and wikis till you can say without a doubt what parts you want and what problems you'll encounter doing any work.

Good luck anon

>>17543781
So the same as any other engine?

Or just enjoy it. I don't see /o/ talking a out how Miatas HAVE to have F/I but the toyobaru must for some reason.

Normalfags can't into cars. They're impressed by anything shiny like the brainless birds they are

people are usually impressed by anything that's obviously had a bunch of work done to it even if its not their taste on the dot

Donks and those beanermobiles that jump are far outside my taste but I appreciate the workmanship put into them. I like people who put serious effort into something they like instead of being another component of the normie NPC horde.

Tbh I didn't read your entire thread but I did read that you're fond of the 350z, to which I suggest looking into the Infiniti g35 and its variants.

I also skimmed around you not knowing if you want manual or auto. If you're not sure and you have no experience with manual, get a shit box civic or Miata so that you can practice learning how to drive standard on that so that in the off chance that you do like driving standard , you don't end up fucking up the clutch in your 350z.

(you're probably not going to like driving standard)

How did you make so much?
