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

    I wouldn't want Hasan doing my wiring

    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.

    Oh wait..... he already did and it FAILED...... now he's trying to lick his wounds and get it back together one more time....

    BALLLINNNNNN



    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.

    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.

    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, $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 )
