Salvage parts for my teg? |
|
so i have a 92 teg as many of u know who ansereed my questions, thanks i appreciate it.
i have another question though, my teg has 258,000 on it so going turbo could not be a smart idea whithout building up internals..would this be a smart idea to search salvage yard and pull pistons, other internals etc.from lesser mileage b18 engines?? I hoping this could be a cheap fix, at least cheaper than purchasing a new engine or a new car.?? what r ur thoughts?? thanks

It can be hard to find parts for a b18 it was for my boyfriend when he put one in his ef hatch with the eg front end. Im not an advertiser, but we got alot off our parts at northweststreetracing.com, alot of people ther have good parts and trade well, and we have never met a scammer, just some weird people, lol. They get people from all over, not just the north west. I think your idea could be wise to attempt, you may save a thousand dollars and be happy with your results, and if it doesnt turn out well, you won't have spent too much money and have to re spend it trying to fix. Good luck with your teg, nice car.

Actually dude, by a used b18 with vtec with someplace around 120 160,000 and do a complete rebuild on it with aftermarket parts, pistons, rods, crank, cams, valves, head if needed you could prolly get by on the head and have it milled, intake, the works you could be way better off. This way you may be able to go turbo and attempt to push 15+ psi on the turbo with a good built engine! it'll cost you around 4 5grand for a set up as portrayed minus the turbo! Good luck!
