ARGH!!! so, I was finishing up pulling everything off the engine, in fact, the only things still on it were the oil pump and flywheel. I wanted to know if I should remove the oil pump, so I decided to call the place i was getting my engine from and I got a different guy than I did last time. He told me that they had 2 different engines for my car... the first was a 3sfe, which he assured me was just as good as the 5sfe... then he told me about the 5sfe, and said it's "used, with under 50,000 miles. comes with a 6 month warranty, and it's been checked for oil pressure and compression" so I was like, "Oh, so, it's not rebuilt?" no "it's used?" yep "same for the transmission?" yep "you guys don't do rebuilt engines?" nope "ok, thanks, bye."
crap! Here I was thinking I was getting an outstanding deal on a rebuilt engine (I didn't tell him that I worked for america's tire this time, and he still quoted me the same price... so much for a discount...) when it's actually used... and by the sound of it, probably JDM motors. *sigh* I don't really want a used motor for that much money... Does anybody have anything good or bad to say about rebuild kits found on ebay like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-01-2-2L-...sspagenameZWD1V I'll need oversized pistons for sure. and I'll probably order a toyota OEM gasket kit. I know toyota OEM is the way to go, though I've never had any problems with any aftermarket stock-replacment parts. but the price on all that from toyota is gonna be well over $1000. I looked for 98+ engines using Car-part.com and couldn't find anything less than $800  I'd rather get the JDM motor for that price... I'm just not sure what to do...

nope, no swap
it's a running, moving, AWD ST165! I'll get some pics today for you guys. It's not that fast, but it will be one day. Just for ****s and giggles, I revved the engine to about 6K and dumped the clutch, just to see how it would feel, and OMG... it doesn't even chirp the tires, it just GOES!!! it kinda bogs right after because it isn't making much power, but then th turbo starts spooling and you start moving again. Last night was just testing it out and whatnot, I'm gonna be careful with it now until it's fixed. It has a check engine light which the guy said was for the intercooler's water pump, so I should look into that before I boost it too much, I just couldn't help it last night

You cant launch an AWD car by dropping the clutch, we found this out the hard way. You need to slip it. If you do it right, there is no bog and the thing just zooms! |

I haven't done it since then. I'm trying to get the car running good and everything before I try pushing it too hard. it has vacuum leaks everywhere that make it not even idle on it's own when the engine is cold so I just went out and bought a bunch of vacuum hose and I'm gonna replace every vacuum hose on the car! fun! I just have to find a vacuum hose routing diagram... cause the sticker on my hood says the car has a 3SFE engine
