oh pps he found only one quart of oil in the engine and there was alot of metal in it so it was considered totaled but he said e might be able to do somthing withe th bottowm end idn he has a deep southern accent up here in md lol

 

My head ____ing hurts after reading that. You're English teachers would send you back to the 3rd grade with sentence composure like that.

So from what I think I was able to pull from this, was you were a dumb ___, and ran a untuned ecu after putting a turbo on. And now you need a new motor. (no surprise there!)

Simple. The 2.4L is one of Toyota's most common 4 cylinders because it's in the RAV4, Camary, and tC. Call a junk yard, and get a new motor. But this time, don't put a turbo kit on it, with out at least tuning it first.

 

yeah sorry i was drunk as anything last night, but toyota said they found metal in the pan with only a quart of oil. but are there any easy engine swaps to somthing with more power but i highly doubt it. i found an engine for 750 on craigslist with a warentee and ill probly buy that and drop it in but idn yet i have to many options....sorry for the horrible grammer and eveything

 

wait so you had only a quart of oil in the engine?!

 

this seems like a all around just super fail thread, no oil, untuned while boosting!!

 

lol no no no i took the turbo off in august cuz my ecu decided to suffocate the engine with fuel and it was fine un tuned for a while before shotty workman ship done by my friend which left an oil leak somewhere and i wasn't able to find it and it got worse as they usualy do and i heard the ticking not even a week after putting in 2 quarts and i parked it untill i dropped it off at Toyota. like u should see where i park my car its covered in oil right now but i did find that engine with a 30 day warente for $750. i dont plan on keeping the car that long anyway probly till next year so.....i fully accept it was my fault the car has lived a hard life i bought it with 57k miles and had to put its 3rd clutch on it and than all the crap i did to it which made it worse

 

driving a FI car with out a tune at all is a very bad idea no matter what.

 

For starters, you shouldn't of driven that car any further that to a tuner once the turbo was installed.

Then if the car's leaking oil, AND YOU KNOW IT... You should either fix the issue, or continue to check and top off oil.

Basically, natural selection applies more to just human life. But car life too!

 

yeah yeah yeah i know i F__cked up and thats how i learn pretty much, by messing up so if i do do it again ill do it right which is how it usually goes in my life lol. but i still think im gonna drop another 2az in unless there's an easy swap to get more power but i doubt it

the quart of oil i believe is because the car sat for a week with the leak

 

do you guys know anything about ZPI, stage 0? how long have they been gone, should tell you tune was not the issue. he also stated about his spelling in the op, sensitive *****. i'd say depends on budget, but i say buy the car back. you can swap crank, and higher comp pistons. (yes im tuned, so spare the importance speech people)

 

i had the kit on the car for over 2 years... untuned driven ever day like i stole it reving it up racing every honda i saw lol and i tried calling the guy we sold it to and he had sold it to his boss but like i said i found one an engine on CL for 750 buck with a 30 day warente so i might be going that route but i still need to talk to my mechanic tho cuz im not doing this i want it don right ....

 

remember -06/07+ are different motor specs. compression, ecu, maf, oil squirters, exhaust manifold brackets, intake housing, etc.. what state are you in?

 

I'm in md but the tc I totaled is gone and I can't find it so I'm just going to buy a 06 motor I saw on cl if it checks out, and have a local shop do the swap that mum dads employee said did a good engine swap for her

 

this thread is to funny.
get that new motor and put it in and see how long till you blow it up too

 

Lol keeping this car stock and buying a 5.0 mustang an probly buying another motor for that and building it and buying a twin scroll super charger

 

I give it a month before it's in a tree or on a roll back with a hole in the block.

 

Lol nah I know how to drive that isn't a problem and I go to a school with a guy who works at a place that specializes in high proformance muscle cars, Im pretty Shure they have the fastest street legal cars but don't quote me on that

 

get your tc together first before you go off planning on building another car!

Whats the name of this said shop btw, that you think has the "fastest street cars"?

 

Buy a new motor get it installed by a reputable shop. I cannot stress this enough.. everytime you fill up you should be checking your oil level, These motors burn enough oil as is.

Pay out the ___ for all this. lesson learned.

 

Where in MD are you? Is this a Mustang specific shop? JPL? ELD? I have seen a few engines on Craigslist before. I'll keep an eye out, a good friend of mine lives in WV, and he finds stuff all the time too.
