i bought it like this.. it was my sisters boyfriends car.. he had oil starvation and blew it going to pick her up in cape may. haha.. so it gets handed down to me to deal with. lol...well actualy my boyfriend to deal with, me to drive. no no boost yet..not till the drs let me go bk to work and start maken some money...but like i said there was a hole in the oil pan, oil starvation.. he didnt know for the longest time what happend..then finaly started taking it apart and thats what he saw.. lol now my boyfriend started actualy taking it out the other day and found the same size hole on the other side and the hole in the pan. lol. i have a question though.. im buying a motor off someone on here who did have it boosted...with 70k miles on it.. is it too over worked?
 
Easy fix for $800..

Go to the Wreckers and if you are lucky, they will have a low mile FS there for you..

Good luck with the new engine. Can't believe Roni still has parts.

I remember when I broke my FSDE, it sucked. Put it back to stock, sold the turbo stuff to Joka, bought my 350Z, then a few months later traded in the protege for my WRX. The rest has been fun.
 
yeah that sucked...roni i guess doesnt have parts.. the motor was rusted to pieces..had to be completely rebuilt..and for the money she wanted it wasnt happening. back on the hunt for a new motor....
