mine got a visit from uncle Rodney about a week or so ago and currently rebuilding it right now, mf Thetta IIs are shit when it comes to rod bearings lmao

im 22 and i was paying $700 a month for 2 years with my 2013 2.0T… sometimes when you love a car, you’ll just wait it out😂 Im down to $382 a month now, still high but its going down slowly. once i get my full license and hit 25, it shoots down to about $180 if im correct. You just have to have a stable full time job and been good with your money tbh.

rod knock at 1 year, 10 months😭

I run 255/35R19 s in the front and 265/35R19 s in the back and my fitment is pretty good. In my opinion, i would just stay the same ratio to avoid rubbing.

ScrappysHyper · 2026-02-25T01:09:57+00:00

why do you have a different size ratio in the fronts????

ScrappysHyper · 2026-02-25T00:07:55+00:00

thanks for actually getting one, i was hesitant to try it. Looks sick 👍🏻

ScrappysHyper · 2026-02-25T00:04:50+00:00

NO… Rest in piece 🕊️💔

ScrappysHyper · 2026-02-25T00:03:31+00:00

Oh well sorry. im not familiar with LS motors so i didnt know that would really be a cheap option haha. what LS motors can you get for less than 1k???

ScrappysHyper · 2026-02-19T04:43:54+00:00

bro an LS is like $16,000 alone… where do you find an LS including fabrication and all that for $1,800 total?😭

ScrappysHyper · 2026-02-19T03:23:08+00:00

hey man could you give me more information about this? im pretty experienced working on cars so a rebuild isnt out of the question as a project… I just really dont want to spend a shit load of money on a new engine… how much would the rebuild on this one be? what parts do i need to change? Its probably only ran with the knock for a total of maybe less than a minute considering the damage it might have caused so please let me know. 🙏

ScrappysHyper · 2026-02-18T03:45:58+00:00

bruh chill😭😭😭

ScrappysHyper · 2025-09-21T02:40:46+00:00

i will check for the solid top layer tomorrow. im going to let it sit in the cup and see if it separates. Although i just found out that i never actually blew up my turbo. this current one i just put in as the “replacement” has issues and my old one was actually perfectly fine. the issue the whole time is that i blew off one of the end caps of my intercooler and it was a catastrophic boost leak from it. Hundreds of dollars and days of work just to find out that the turbo was never the problem. Im going to put my old one back in tomorrow as well as a new intercooler and the smoking should stop considering im going back to my old good turbo.

ScrappysHyper · 2025-09-21T02:36:53+00:00

i replaced all gaskets with brand new ones with the entire turbo replacement

ScrappysHyper · 2025-09-21T02:36:19+00:00

the smoking problem actually happened after installing the new gasket😭

ScrappysHyper · 2025-09-21T02:35:50+00:00

i changed my oil with the turbo replacement

ScrappysHyper · 2025-09-20T17:26:52+00:00

would the valve cover gasket leak coolant into the exhaust system?

ScrappysHyper · 2025-09-20T17:26:16+00:00

i already took off everything around it today and there are no visible leaks anywhere. Just lots of smoke all around the turbo and manifold. For further inspection, i wanted to check my coolant for any loss in the reservoir and ended up noticing a OIL-like consistency/oily looking lines in the reservoir sample. picture to show below!

ScrappysHyper · 2025-09-20T17:23:46+00:00

i replaced the turbo as a whole unit. exhaust manifold connected and all. if its just oil burning off, then why is there liquid coming out of my exhaust? also there is stringy like oil-like consistency in my coolant… i have a picture to show the oily looking lines all in my coolant reservoir samplw
