While I'm stuck out here in Iraq, my car is sitting in a storage unit on four jack stands.

As soon as I get back, I'm dropping it off at Juan's shop and letting him have at it. I was going for the 2.0 swap, but I changed my mind when I saw alot of you boosting the 1.6 and getting reasonable results. The 2.0 would have probably been a waste of time and money.

You guys saved me and my wallet alot of heartache. I'm sticking with the 1.6

Thanks



BTW, I have 140K+ on my engine and it's been sitting for 6 months now. It's from alot of trips back and forth from GA to TX.

Time for a new engine

nice videos ...

 

[MIA protege]

cant wait to see ur car back p2k ... always been a nice one

 

[Shane5425]

when u due back p2k?

 

[P2K]

Thanks MIA.

I'll be back sometime around Christmas, give or take a few weeks.

I already talked to Juan about dropping my car off when I get back. He said it was ok. I won't need my car back anytime soon since I just bought a 04 Mazda6 right before I left which will give him all the time he needs with no rush job.


I know the 1.6 can hold boost pretty good, and 20psi is about the limit. Is there anyone who makes or is willing make forged internals for it? Is it worth replacing the internals? What drivetrain upgrades are there for the tranny, bolt-on or custom? If it's possible, I want to run 12-15psi daily. Juan said he could probably get it up to 320hp on stock internals, which I think is insane.

Thanks
