Re: TURBOs!?
oooh you don't own an svx yet.....
Your list needs correction then. Typically when you buy an SVX the first several thousand dollars go to repairs you were unaware were needed. |

Stock before modifications?

Re: TURBOs!?
A buddy of mine who's an STI owner brought up another turbo to me last night and I thought I'd run it buy you all and see if any of you had heard of it. It was a Borgwarner that he said was between a garret gt30 and a gt35 in size and such. Any thoughts??

Re: TURBOs!?
yeah you can... Most shops charge 100-125 to check the compression on a svx

Re: TURBOs!?
If you are putting it on a built eg33 than it would be a waste of money, but for a stock motor it should be decent....

Re: TURBOs!?

Re: TURBOs!?
I would do the Bogwarner rather than a full out 35R on a stock EG33....

Re: TURBOs!?
Curious Question(sorry it's a bit off topic): But how do you check compression and can you do it yourself? What do you do just take out one sparkplug at a time and measure the pressure that the cylinder can create without ignition?

Re: TURBOs!?
I do own it now, payed for and all. If I was going to bring my SVX to a shop an get an estimate they would tell me to get another one... All the repairs are going to be done by my hands and thats all body work. The engine runs great.
I don't have a pressure tester, and if I did I probably would test it to know its out of spec. But there are no serious problems with it so its not way out of whack. It doesn't burn oil and the idle is smooth. I will check it when I get the engine out before I tear it down for cleaning and measuring. Turbos are cool, way cool.
