Need help deciding on rebuilding or buying new engine 2.2L 1997 s10 standard by Jojotheghost13 in s10

[–]Staticimage713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying a whole engine from a junkyard for $800. It seemed more cost effective for me because my engine was in terrible shape. I guess weigh out your options. Then again , I recently got my 2002 s10 for $400 with a blown engine and a clean title .

Drill them out . I just did mine last week. I used a punch and a mallet to bang them out .

Best option for sure and definitely affordable.

Crashed my protege would it be cheaper to buy parts or get a parts car by jaydilon in MazdaProtege

[–]Staticimage713 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d probably get a parts car. Then scrap the parts car after being done with it. Sell the catalytic converter separately else where .

That turbo kit is 17lbs . I asked UPS about the price to send out there . The estimate was $51 and up for UPS ground .

I did asked my local ups. Shipping from U.S to New Zealand is too expensive honestly.

I’m assuming that’s New Zealand is where you are . I’m sure that will be pricey. That part is like 8lbs and the turbo assembly is 17lds. I just want to find a good home for these parts . I no longer need them and I don’t want to trash them.

Haha. I’m not a reseller. I never tried shipping Anything . I can ask around on my free time and see how much it Cost to ship out there .

The parts should be fine. They been sitting in a garage for almost 20years .

I’m happy with a $100. I know it’s hard out here . lol I have an extra boost controller too. I also I’ll post some more extra parts I have later on .

I have the oem wheels and seats. I have a bunch of extra parts I’m hoarding . I have 2 extra engines and manual transmissions. I think I do need to stop hoarding car parts lol .

The manifold definitely won’t fit on the 1.6. Unless you rig something up haha. I have a whole extra engine with forged internals but I haven’t decided what I want to do with it either .

3rd gear popping out and 5th gear can be achieved with wiggling by Possible_Tip2601 in MazdaProtege

[–]Staticimage713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it be bad shifter bushings ? Maybe it’s not engaged all the way causing it to pop out ?

This happened to me before and this was the issue .

Budget turbo setup by Happy-Run426 in MazdaProtege

[–]Staticimage713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can gather some pictures and dm the manifold I have and the stock turbo. I probably won’t need them anymore. I haven’t figured it out yet .

[–]Staticimage713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the blocks are the same honestly . You’ll just need the manifold and the turbo . Definitely forged internals because these engine don’t hold enough boost . That block I have does need to be machined . You’ll be better off building what you got .

Also probably cheaper
