Man I always feel uneasy when people post their speed up along with the units, perhaps I\'m just paranoid :Giggle... Sorry to hear that though dude :(.

Well I have only got mine to 100 on the strip, can\'t afford going much above about 60 on the road lol fuel cost :O lol

Can\'t see anything missing.
No leaks
No nothing
Sounds weird, like no spark or no compression. It turns over so quick.
Had the boost controller on the lowest setting.
If it was the gasket/manifold surely it will tick over?
Need to find out what caused it, other than my heavy right foot.

hummm i must admit its not sounding good :(

if you take the plugs over and turn the engine over - can you hear it "whooosing" from the holes ??

maybe something to check when you have time :D

Ray, what you doin tonight? If you want I can pop down and have a look with you. I might not be a huge help but I can try.
I don\'t need to upgrade my stock turbo to beat your ass!

D\'oh, you should of gave me a ring \'adereed\'
Was just doing some gardening thinking what was the cheapest/easiest way of getting my car back on the road.
Not taken the spark plugs out yet, but when i try to turn it over i hear a thump where it tries to fire then 2 dead ones. Whoosing, a good noise to hear?
To be honest, it\'s knackered. It spins too freely to have any compression. D\'oh!

What are my options?
Repair current engine, whilst it was out i always debated to port it. I love the lumpy idle sound.
Drop another one in.
20B?
LS1?!
 
I don\'t even have numbers yet. What\'s the damage going to be on my pocket?

Short block 20b? :)

I\'ll give you a buzz tomorrow night buddy. I would imagine that your gonna need a re-build from what what you have described. Depending what you want to do you can either buy a new (second hand) engine and drop that in, or get yours re-built by a pro, or take you engine out and re-build it yourself if the internals are ok to reuse.

My ported 13bt is for sale, as is the whole lot (turbo, ecu, etc) and supporting mods that made 340hp @ 0.8bar boost, capable of 400hp with more boost
accepting offers for lot, can also offer installation

That sounds great!!
Unfortunately i don\'t have enough privileges to access that link to read the thread.
And I can\'t PM you
And I was very mislead on how much 13bt engines actually are and rebuilds.
I don\'t know what is a reasonable offer?
