Please don't turbo unless you know what you're doing..
well, here's the story:
swapped in a jdm b16a a little over a year ago. a couple months later, i went and bolted on a turbo kit for it, thinking that running off a fmu would suffice my fuel management (no tune either). well, detonated a piston about a month and a half later, got it replaced, and removed the turbo. well, ever since then my engine has had a slight knock in it. me, thinking it wasn't anything too important to deal with at the moment, put it off. well, tonight driving home from g/f's house, engine starts knocking really bad. wanting to at least get it home, i downshifted into a lower gear so i could slow down. car shuts off. so i start it back up again, then try giving it a little gas, has no power at all. so now i press in clutch again, shuts off. at this point, i know im screwed, so i just pull over. tried turning it on one more time, nastiest knocking sound i have ever heard, im pretty sure i threw a rod or something.
well, i need a running car. luckily i have a little over 2 grand in the bank account right now id rather not spend, but dont think i have much of a choice. what do you guys think? replace the motor, maybe with a cheaper D? see how much i can get it fixed for? let me know what ya'll think.
btw, i drive a 95 civic coupe dx.
