WTB engine and internals

[Double Dspeed]

threw a rod through the block and now need to source parts whether you have parts I'd be interested in or know of places to get parts would be a help. Ideally looking for a whole motor. No trans necessary. But pistons, rods, turbo (gt28) are also on the to be acquired list

CPE is selling motors now. LKQ, copart.com, and ebay are a start.

Care to elaborate on why it blew?
Mileage..Mods...etc.

There is an ebay listing for a speed engine here in Jersey for ~$2300.

O/T .. When did it blow? I saw a black MS3 with black wheels on Hooper Ave. by TR MS North and thought it might be you but that was on Saturday afternoon. I guess your out of warranty and such due to mileage? I just got a new block under warranty from the dealer a couple months ago. Just stripped mods off and sent it in. Good luck man.

for mods i was running full corksport turboback, CAI and turbo inlet, FMIC, reworked k04, forge wastegate, pushing like 22psi . it was running that setup for close to a year. i have 55,000 miles on it.

I think your problem was the 22psi, the stock internals can't handle that very well. You probably had a pretty good tune which is why it lasted a year but fatigue got a hold of you. On stock internals I'd probably stay under 20.

Good thing though is when you go forged, you're set!

Check their website. Its in their blog and such. Email them for more info.

PS, check with your dealer, powertrain is 60K. Just take off all your mods, then make sure you expertly spray oil all over everything. Straight Peroxide will rust bolts to where they cannot tell if you messed with em, too.

Yea, I saw that on their site. I'm wondering what comes with it. If its just the block, rods, pistons, crank or if it includes a built up head. Also, how much it will cost.

I love the "expertly spray oil all over everything" quote.

 

[RaiderMS3]

We;l, if you want it possibly covered under powertrain (60K miles possibly?) then go stock, and then coat everything. Use an air nozzle and blow down the stock downpipe as you pour down oil. Coat the bish. Hassle might = free.
