Does (O) ever build its own shit? Or it is just retared teenagers

looks like a piece of shit

at least you "build" it right

Yeah the wires look like shit but its a mud truck anyways

Ive never built anything but i have replaced the cooling system in my truck, timing belt, and have done all the maintenance needed.

Id like rebuild a 350 or a rotary though. Maybe a Toyota I4 to make some okay power (200hp).

You should get a metal fuel filter. It's safer.

Lol I like the plastic one cuz I can see the gas flowing

I haven't done it yet. Still have to mount the shifter and make new linkage.
It should be easy though. I have a t10 now, and the only difference is the rear mount.

You should try for a TKO so you can let me know how it fits.

That's a nice oil change kit you got there. How about some tools that are actually used to build something?

So it has 100HP?

I was thinking just a spare engine, and some nitrous for the one in there now.

>>13975338
Yeah I build, but only worthwhile engines

I kinda wish I had a bike but between guns and building this truck I don't really need another expense plus I still got a bronco that needs so serious rust repair as well.

>swapping an older engine into a newer car

how do you get this past emissions? 1998 was OBD2. Also note that it's federally illegal to swap an older engine into a newer car.

>>13975722
hopefully around 200 with the egr and cat delete and glass packs I have
>>13975734
yeah, but if you're gonna go for nos you need to make sure the engine is bulletproof. what year is is?

I have yet rebuild a car engine from the ground up. But, I used to work at a machine shop that built race kart motors, so I've blueprinted and built countless 2 stroke engines.

>>13975772
well at least they bend and not break? lol. I'd start looking on documented swaps on S10 boards. I had a fun time with my ranger, but if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't have gone into uncharted territory and just done a 5.0 swap like everyone else. why not do a small block?

As a Mercedes Mechanic I can assure you we do build our own shit.

In fact, just yesterday I built a sharpened pencil out of one that had a square edge out of the package.

I drove it daily and autocrossed it for 3 years & 40k miles. Saw plenty of snow. Only issue was a loss of oil pressure on track that led to motor rebuild. Picked up the X6M so that I could do more HPDE and not have to worry about breaking stuff.

>>13975806
I don't have the machining or welding capability to make anything worth making for my car.

>>13975822
checked' sir. and also if it's a beater then sure nos port it. just don't expect much increases

For light-duty vehicles, installation of a light-duty eng~ne into a different light-duty vehicle by any
person would be considered tampering unless the resulting vehicle is identical (with regard to all
emission related parts, engine design parameters, and engine calibrations) to a certified configuration of
the same or newer model year as the vehicle chassis, or if there is a reasonable basis for knowing that
emissions are not adversely affected as described in Memo 1A. The appropriate source for technical
information regarding the certified configuration of a vehicle of a particular model year is the vehicle
manufacturer

just be aware that you're driving an enormous federal fine around

same goes for anybody with an SR20 in their 240SX

>>13975959
well yeah, it just depends if the federal government wants to get involved

>>13975976
They don't and they never would. That's why cars are registered by state. It's pointless to even talk about.

>>13975986
and, Michigan does not test for emissions

>>13975976
Guess I never had to worry about it since my engine is from the 70's. I am however putting a 500hp LT1 into a 94 firebird and stripping the emission shit off it. What they don't know won't hurt them.

I can't do shit, and there is no easy way to turbo this motor. Even with cyclone/typhoon parts are hard to come by for a tarbo modification.
