The motor is fine, I parked the car this morning (after I shattered an axle trying to do a burnout on I99 at 75mph). I put a new axle in it to make sure the tranny was fine and pulled it in the garages. Stripped and sold the turbo setup. Pulled the tranny. The motor will come out next weekend and I’ll tear it down to see how happy a 164,000 mile 4g63 is. Still held 22 in/hg at idle, used very little oil, and ran like a champ.
Next year, not much more fucking around. Gonna have a real turbo, more fuel, and a real motor that I can actually push. I can’t wait.
