After many months of no news:
My car went up on the forums to be sold when I had no propane left o heat my place. After many nights of rubbing two wet sticks together and burning newborn kittens of stray cats that wander around my neighborhood I realized it was time to stop worrying about heat and start rebuilding my car. So Deciding to keep it I am in negations with some other fellow members of the board to get my car back up and running. My plans are to overhaul the motor agian (why not is is easier the fifth time compared to the second.) The engine bay is not to my liking either so I will paint the whole thing black while it is out. Do a bottom end rebuild and repalce all gaskets…turbo upgrade in the works but can’t disclose any info now… and get all the add on’s including not limiting too a boost controller, turbo timer, and real BOV. I read many post on the board of everyone having no money and I am in the same spot. I am just glad that people on here can unite together to get builds done on the underground.

why did it blow up. Every SR20 I have seen let go had a dented oil pan that blocks the pickup, depending on how bad it is they can last a couple hours or a couple weeks.

The whole deal with the motor baffles me. I was driving up to college and my cluster was not accurately reporting my temperature. I could smell something going on with the motor and by the time I parked it it was no running the best. I am not exactly sure if my thermostat stuck or what happened. Will no more once it is towed down to the best DIY garage on the forum and is trouble shooted. Question to the board: does anyone have anything to say about Clifton park Engine re builders? I know everyone on the board loves to talk so lets here it??? Any recommendations of motor shops that don’t take made long time to build something.

I’ve usually found that the faster it gets done, the more it costs.
