ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Turbo parts?

    What should i start changing in my f22a6 with 209,000 miles? Which parts specifically should i change so i dont have to go crazy with the money on basically repairing the whole engine?

    a motor with that much miles is not gonna last long. that thing is gonna pop soon if boosted... unless your motor is super healthy... think on that first before you boost??? unless you can get a motor fast... but up to you though...

      Think of turboing a high-mileage motor like this, you wouldn't bet your money on an 80 year old man to win an endurance race would you? Maybe you bought him some new shoes and some nice running shorts, but he is still an 80 year old man.

          If you want it to last... replace the internals with forged parts. Even a healthy F22A will give out with stock internals in time with a turbo.

              Most of the smarter guys on here do this:

              boost the old stock motor. Learn their way around, and work out the kinks of the system. Expect to blow it up.

              In the meantime, pick up a spare motor, tear it down, and build it up properly.



              Don't buy a single part until you know what your plan is, or you're going to waste a LOT of money!
