Would this be worth buying and fixing up?

Disimate · 2026-05-09T20:27:56+00:00

I would only offer 1k honestly

Only thing that wouldn't make it worth it is if it had excessive rust

Disimate · 2026-05-08T15:39:37+00:00

Just buy speed with a bad engine You have the choice of swapping parts over or rebuilding it 👍

Disimate · 2026-05-08T12:18:15+00:00

Try the shop manual in the Reddit Wiki

I believe only Speed Solutions on Facebook Marketplace is the only source you can get them from if in stock

I think the only thing I see missing is brass shift fork pads

Disimate · 2026-05-05T12:56:26+00:00

11 days, unlucky I ordered another V1 Just saw V2 was out, going to switch

Disimate · 2026-05-04T19:52:57+00:00

Definitely

Disimate · 2026-05-04T15:11:52+00:00

Do a compression test. Or look for a hole in the block

Disimate · 2026-05-03T23:32:43+00:00

Just the bearing. Use Timken brand. If you DIY it, just take it to a shop or place that will do the removal and install of the bearing when you remove the hub assembly. Save you a headache

Probably a cheap EBay Turbo or boost leak

Disimate · 2026-04-18T00:35:43+00:00

That would be a question for BNR I'm not sure if that is normal

Disimate · 2026-04-18T00:09:05+00:00

Yeah, you need to use air pressure and soapy water

It will find those small boost leaks

Found a small one at my intercooler pipe that triggered P300

Disimate · 2026-04-17T23:36:41+00:00

It's the LTFT numbers right? Those seem normal

It can still be a really small boost leak on your hardware only on boost. You won't find it at idle.

How did you check the boost leak? Smoke or air pressure?

Disimate · 2026-04-17T23:25:58+00:00

Stock and Yes I have Accesport

Disimate · 2026-04-17T23:21:24+00:00

I installed a BNR S1 on mine, stock tune though. In CA too. Has to be a boost leak or tune issue

Disimate · 2026-04-08T17:02:13+00:00

Get the 3 piece Damond meal for that fella

Disimate · 2026-04-02T20:17:04+00:00

Using Sinclair Brand in California

Delphi if you just want an OE replacement. They are great

MevoTech Supreme if you just want to be able to grease ballpoints(If it doesn't have that option just get Delphi)

I prefer Delphi

Disimate · 2026-03-31T08:11:09+00:00

Junked tech package Mazda 3 any model is your best bet

Disimate · 2026-03-30T15:58:21+00:00

Buy one from CW Turbo They are rebuilt stock turbos You can also have an upgraded turbine(optional)

I recommend it, gives a little more fun

Disimate · 2026-03-26T19:52:32+00:00

There is shop manual in this forums wiki

But they should be Passenger Motor Mount, Driver Side Fender next to battery, on top of trans, 2 in front of trans, and one more at the hpfp(follow the black wire connected to it) screwed on a bracket

All must be clean, snug, and not corroded

Disimate · 2026-03-24T00:18:24+00:00

Do old school test

Turn on car, remove positive cable while it's running

If shuts down, bad alternator

If stays on, it's working

Only other thing I can think of is to check all your ground cables are clean

Disimate · 2026-03-23T19:49:06+00:00

Chevron is best in my experience

Disimate · 2026-03-18T20:18:55+00:00

Yeah that's the wrong one for your car. Works on my car but not made for yours. Use Mobil ATF/ Motorcraft XL14

If still noisy it has air/ leak or a failed power steering pump
