Well i bit the bullet and ordered my turbo parts xD before getting it resprayed ahhh well will be nice to put some SI's in their place haha. will post updates soon
sooooo i think I've spun a bearing or blown a ring ...............sigh car still runs but really rough on idle and splutters threw the gears. Read on a couple of thread maybe a potential alternator????
So after a lot of fault invest and thinking what it could be it turns out my issue was a spark plug gap had closed up causing my misfire symptoms. *phew* saved me a $800 bill for a new engine haha also found out my compression is 150-155 across all 4 cylinders . Now onto saving for a new gearbox as mine currently has 180k and i need a new one. Its just never ending ahah.
not a clue to be completely honest with you. I would like to hope not considering the engine has about 70k on it. Im just happy that its not a new engine im having to buy at the start of the new year haha. Would i get any obvious symptoms to the vics not operating correctly if a screw was to have come lose?
Anyone got some insight into alternators? Just that mine is going bad and napa have 2 for the mazda protege5 a 40amp and an 80amp. Now my question is would the 80 cause me any issues or just keep everything running at say 110%? would it cause anything long term to breakdown/malfunctiion? blow a fuse etc??
