very drivable, not a lot of knocking or at least not that i can notice. TONS of smoke, but runs surprisingly smooth on 3 cyl, though at certain points the engine runs with more power than others. For instance: WOT gives slightly less power than half or 1/3. seems to be a sweet spot somewhere. seems like #3 cyl is burn out for one reason or another and barely has compression.

but did get it up to 90 on a down hill.

supercooper 05-20-2013 03:04 PM

test the compression... if it is all decent, might just be a blown headgasket... change it out, and keep the 1.8 in that case, then sell the 1.6 for money towards a Megasquirt

will do

supercooper 05-20-2013 03:11 PM

also, the body lines are about as straight as a miata owner... did it get dumbo dropped from a helicopter? any previous accident history?

the 1.6 does rev faster


OH AWESOME!!!! IT REVS FASTER BUT GOES SLOWER.

typical m.net response. why are you wasting the effort, just get your 1.8L built faster.

18psi 05-20-2013 03:55 PM

Because 1.6>1.8 duhh


*edit:

I actually used to make fun of guys that took forever to build a BP, and now I have a spare BP, all the parts, all the turbo parts, and basically everything for a super awesome build and setup sitting in the shop for over 5 months while I don't have time to build it.

UGH

Great, another opportunity for me to try to sell my brand new FM 1.6L turbo pistons to help fund my 1.8 project

Buy them, pretty please?
