Compression test it before you do anything. Dont buy someone else's mess

NNOCENT · 09-06-2010, 07:30 AM

pics or ban

klits562 · 09-06-2010, 05:35 PM

comp test and let it idle for like 15 minutes, then drive it for 30 more minutes. If the guy bitches drive it to the gas station and but some in it haha. Make sure every part you listed is on their and make sure those hoses are ALL silicon. And what size fan is it?

s13 @ fullboost · 09-06-2010, 07:01 PM

sounds really good thats fur sure

theboy · 09-06-2010, 07:11 PM

go look at it, forget about compression testing it if it will run and idle fine. see if you can get a ride or drive it. If the seller flakes on that walk away. Obviously theres an issue if he cant take you for a ride in it to go through all the gears and show you its good to go.

If the seller wont start it then ask to compression test it, or even turn it over. If they cant show you that its ready to go then dont bother. Why fix someone elses head ache

SR Twenty · 09-06-2010, 11:25 PM

It's worth at least that much in parts. Update?

nmullin11 · 09-08-2010, 12:51 PM

i picked it up yesterday and gonna get some pics sometime this week, body was lil rougher than i thought but no rot or serious damage just needs some tlc and paint

started and idled fine but too big off injectors would cause it to bog down at around 3k but turbo pulled fine til then, he also took out the boost controller so he said its runnin stock boost now. he said if i switch back to 480 injectors it will run and pull fine its just too rich now and i would need a retune and z32maf ofc

just tryin to be safe and not do any damage to engine so may get a s-afc or somethin of the sort
