one of them he bought non-running, the other one...

I wouldn't want Hasan doing my wiring :lmao:

most of them don't run because the owners are cheap asses :(

In fact I know of where one is sitting that the guy won't sell because he's going to give it to his son when he gets his driver. His son is 8 right now.

I know a guy that has one that has great intensions to rebuild the motor with raceprepped rods, Weisco pistons, ARP Studs and try to make it bullet proof......
Oh wait..... he already did and it FAILED...... now he's trying to lick his wounds and get it back together one more time....:crazy:

Got a 88 conquest rotting in my garage. If it was mine it would have been running a long time ago. I loved it when we first got it but now I hate it. All it does is sit in the garage and take up room that I really need. It hasn't moved in 2.5 years.

Sadly that's the downfall of some owners of these cars. Nothing against your pops, but the longer they sit, the harder they are to fix.

lol of course you won't do shitty wiring, there's no wiring involved with a stock ecu and tbi. lolol

btw there is nothing wrong with my wiring except for the fact that its not tucked, theres no wire looms, which to your, dumbfuck ass means 0mG bad wiring.

Drop the motor that it was designed for in it and get it over with

The 2.2/2.5 Crysler TurboII motor then do the hybryd head swap off of a DOHC neon and get 450HP out of it. with all stock parts. no joke!

Well the only thing i have to say is they are one of the best 4 cylinders engines of all times but you need to do your job those engines are not for the do it yourselfers or wannabes out there they need to be understand and you need to know what you are doing and you need to know how to do it!

i see the picture of the broken piston and the only thing i have to say about it is that the engine in question there was a half ass build, first that piston failure was caused by a used of a stock polished unbalanced rod that may be was modified to be used as a full floating in a race piston (FAIL) you need to use a bushed good connecting rod like pauter, if you dont you are going to have those problems, second oil is the life of those engines if the oiling system is not upgraded you will FAIL again, remember the g54b was the first 4 cylinder engine in the 7's on the 1/4 mile, i have built them to go well over 650 WHP and no problems at all,

hey Hassan it is me Juan, how you doing? you say you spend a lot of $$$ on your starion? i really want to know how much LoL, :D :D :D :D :D $500?
JK men, hope you doing good!

Funny - EP3sAreFun built an engine in his garage, put out pretty decent power. He now owns a car that has over 300whp, and oh look. That engine and car was also built in a garage. They're not for the wannabe's, thats for sure, but these are the ultimate DIY engine. Why? Because race shops won't even know where the "fuel rail" is ( lol ask EP3sAreFun about that one :lmao: )

yeap you are very wright i should wouldnt said it that way you can build em and this work perfect but 300 hp is nothing for what i mean i am talking more than 600+ whp here my friend and those are real numbers we are talking about power to get you in the low 8 second in the 1/4 mile i bet you your friend with the right parts can build something like that too!

The trend for that has been the cheap ass way and dropping in a 4G63/4G64 hybrid :D

I want to get a flatty and do that with it.

300 is nothing? and come on... why take a car made for cornering and only allow it to go straight?

The 4WD Rally car only made 350 hp and 253 tqe. I make around 350hp/430tqe. I think i'm doing fairly well for myself, especially since all the work was done by the owner of the vehicle and not me dropping it off at a shop and giving them a check.
