Ok this may sound dumb to you but fear not my buddy has 2 spare motors incase this one doesnt last long.Alright we looks online at ka-ts on youtube and noticed some were built on stock internals and we noticed some of the clusters read 100-200k something miles. Now they used t3s or t4s to turbo their car. My buddies car has a chain knock that sounds like its coming from the lower guides. Now since his car has about 160k miles.If he drops in a turbo and other parts that are not overkill for a stock car. How long will his motor last until it finally goes? The shop he called said a year or longer depending how well maintained the motor is. Now whats the real answer?
Plus for me i picked up a single slammer with supposively 76k miles without reciepts to prove rebuild but the owner has pulled the motor and saw a clean ass top and bottom end,pistons etc. How would you know if its rebuilt without spending money to have a mechanic pull it apart to inspect it? I mean, the body is 240k and the motor looks like crap for a rebuilt motor. Im not saying this was a stupid choice, the car looks like it has never been touched by weather.Theres no damage,paint peel,etc. I know i can sell it and get some cash off, but i mean it was gunna be my track car.
