Re:offering $500 for someone to install turbo in my car
I've been working on my B16A swap for 4 weeks, I hoped to get it done in 3 days. it takes longer to do things your first time because you have to learn everything. I've had problems with my swap: header didn't reach cat (test pipe baby, ---- the epa), distributor didn't fit (bought it seperately from engine), axles were wrong (had to buy new ones from raxles, good people and good axles but it costs some money), and right now it doesn't run, it cranks but no spark and I drove it last night.
when I first tried to drop the motor in we could only get one mount to line up at a time, we were tired and we kept trying until there was no more light. we came back early the next morning and thought of something different (taking the mounts off the engine and putting them on the car) and that ---- fit perfect. when your tired ---- is harder, like right now, I have to write an essay I haven't started and I'm avoiding it by coming here.

Damn yeah I hadda swap out my adapter plate. Which consisted of removing the turbo/manifold/downpipe removing all the coolant/oil lines all in 90 degree Florida weather with no garage or anything. It sucked. 
Works great now tho. Yeah try and grab some pics.

Re:WAS offering $500 for someone to install turbo in my car
well im done installing, it still idle's like crap
