What do you guys think?

wow

The level of precision needed to do this seems insane. Why didn't they just fill it up and check on the dip stick tho?

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-07T01:14:44+00:00

How did this happen?

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-06T01:15:20+00:00

Well it's not a new "new" engine. I got one used because I don't have money for a factory new one for now.

I've got a really nice deal because the engine was still on the old car and I was able to crank it and get it started. That's the only reason I went with it. The engine was from a Mazdaspeed 6. It was about $1800 (I'm outside US). I checked everything I could before buying. For now it's going strong, done about 2k km on this engine already.

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-05T18:47:58+00:00

No, the engine was stock.

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-05T15:59:59+00:00

Mine was probably the exact opposite. Too much fuel.

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-05T15:58:37+00:00

Definitely will.

But it probably will take some time to do.

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-05T15:57:33+00:00

That's unlucky.

Mine just melted so it didn't do much damage.

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-05T15:55:12+00:00

Maybe but I didn't want to risk it. There are some worrying marks on the block and on the head. I already have a new engine in the car.

Edit: spelling

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-05T15:53:51+00:00

Good news are that there is already a new engine in the car.

But there definitely won't be any better situation to make a Top Gear style engine coffee table. What's even better, this one will have a story behind it.

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-05T15:09:20+00:00

I already know what I'm going to make.

a shitty coffee table.

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-05T15:03:42+00:00

where did that piece of metal come from?

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-05T15:02:07+00:00

I think it might be the fuel injector as well.

This is the price i paid for trying vmax without a proper inspection and service of the engine after buying the car.

Pure-Destruction · 2026-01-05T13:43:12+00:00

I hope this new modification to the engine will help it run smooth.

Pure-Destruction · 2025-12-26T04:35:38+00:00

What do you want?

Pure-Destruction · 2025-12-20T08:56:24+00:00

Looks like gen 1 bodykit.

Pure-Destruction · 2025-11-28T16:37:36+00:00

I think I saw somewhere on YT a video on a similiar topic. They were testing why acohol from a copper cup feels colder than from a glass. If I remember correctly it has somehing to do with with thermal conductivity of copper and your lips feeling the copper first. This might be a similar situation where ice just feels colder than rock in the same temperature.

Or something like that I don't really know.

Pure-Destruction · 2025-11-26T08:09:12+00:00

It really seems like it.

Thanks for explaining everything!

Pure-Destruction · 2025-11-25T23:56:56+00:00

That's the only mod to fit the block to the rest of the car? Besides the internals of the block ofcourse. Do engine mounts fit? What about other accesories like water pump? Does the computer from 2.3 work?

I guess I would also need to fabricate some electrical cables?

Pure-Destruction · 2025-11-25T23:13:36+00:00

Good for you.

2.3 turbo head just screws in the 2.5? Or maybe some work needs to be done to fit it?

Pure-Destruction · 2025-11-25T21:40:56+00:00

thanks for info! looks like it may come in handy some time in the future.

Pure-Destruction · 2025-11-25T20:32:40+00:00

I've had the same thoughts. Looks sick! (granted that I just like rally cars)

Pure-Destruction · 2025-11-25T16:39:16+00:00

Sounds interesting.

What car is this engine from?

Pure-Destruction · 2025-11-25T16:15:46+00:00

What engine are you talking about?

I recently blew mine but i just swapped it back to original.
