change your oil before you wash out your bearings.....

 

alright, ill do that. thanks

 

i took a closer look at the venom injectors and they are stock injectors. shockandspring on ebay sold them to me. they sent them in a pretty venom box, im tring to get my money back now. but my car is on the road again. i got real venom injectors this time that flow 10% more fuel. they make a big differance on on reving and acceleration on my car. the rpms climb fast. good investment.

 

congrats. its a shame what people have come to these days tho. guess thats human nature... anywho, how about gas mileage 10% less than before?

 

it all depends on how you drive it. (hp = gas) it is using more gas then before because i just got the car back from a total rebuild, including a new head and p&p, and being bored out to a 89.5 with cp pistons and crower rods, and brought the compression ratio up to a 9.0. and a lot of other crap. so i think all of that contributed to more gas, but im glad i did. that engine is so much better than it was. but anyone that is doing a rebuild it is worth the extra money ($200) to balance all your engine parts including the crank. the car idles and rides so smooth.

 

how much for the entire rebuild, plus downtime? mgith be wanting to do the same next year

it took me a year to buy all the parts. the car has so much more power than before. the rpms, and speed shoot up so quick now. i have a bunch of bolt ons and a nx 75 shot, but still cant use it yet, because im still breaking in the engine. i did this rebuild for a turbo with high boost, and convert my nx kit to an intercooler spray. thats my next project. i know its a lot of money, and a swap would be cheaper, but my ka will handle a lot of power now. i wanted to keep the engine that went with the car, in the car. and i wanted to do somthing everyone else isnt doing. i still lack cams, titanium retainers, and springs. they told my it would take 2 weeks to do the job and it took almost 4 months because they kept puting my car on the back burner. thats why i got the labor so cheep.
