That was the main drive behind getting a "kit", because purchasing the parts separately would be a little more expensive. I e-mailed RRE, and they want to do a 6-bolt swap and a 2.3 stroker on that. I told them that I was hoping my motor wasnt blown yet, but theyr'e like "get it done anyways!". haha.
Well, I'm now losing boost and power accross all RPM ranges and gears, and the knocking noise is louder (similar to an VW microbus, or a a 60's bug). Very scary stuff. Car goes to shop tomorrow morning, and I'm hoping its just a timing / spark issue, and not a rod knocked lose or something horrifiying like that
. The mechanics are people I know and do great work, but their DSM knowledge is limited. Since RRE is 1.5 hours driving north of me, and the engine does turn out to be fcked, I'll probably knock and tick my way up there to drop my car off to them.
I hope its not that bad I hope its not that bad I hope its not that bad. Amen.
