Front Clip & EPA
well i ordered from someone in maryland in march.. 5 weeks of waiting later they mailed me my money back saying they couldnt get the clip....so i went online and like an idiot jumped at the best price without any research..now i'm stuck...by the time i get it it will be winter and i'll have to put it back in the garage...this sucks so bad...if they get setup in the us do you think it will be here quicker
Well finally got around to install the motor a few weeks ago. Had it running for not quite a week. Put not quite 300 miles on the motor.
The wastegate is directly connected to the intake so haven't been boosting much. Only been above 3K twice.
Just did a compression test on the engine and the results aren't good. Looks like I'll be rebuilding the motor here shortly

I am a newbie, but I will throw in my .02
Reading these posts I think I have myself decided to go with a more reputable shop if I decide to go the SR route.
Plan:1) find a decent S13 to drive through the rest of college (~2 years or so). Keep it stock during college, learn the car inside and out2)complete college THEN decide what to do. I may decide to drop an SR in, or maybe be more adventurous and go with an RB, maybe turbo KA.
Or I may tax the math and science skills I learned in college and see how much power I can suck out of an all motor KA!
Really depends on alot of factors. Availability of foreign market engines when I get out of college, where I find a job (if I find a job in Indiana, that would be perfect for an SR/RB swap, grandpa told me that Indiana doesn't even have a State car inspection), and how good of condition the KA still is in.
