question for all you guys.......... what are you looking for in a ffim? my engine builder/tuner/fabricator plans on building a ffim for my 7m. he may build more if there's a demand. he plans on using the stock lower intake and fabbing up a manifold from there. should it have an...

not sure if i ever started a build thread, but here's a recap..... i picked up the car in october 2010, not running but very cheap. $600. yay it's a florida car and had only 104,000 miles on it. i was told that the motor was rebuilt and it had a 5 speed swap. the car was totally rust free...

ok guys, here's another rookie question..... my car is starting to smoke pretty bad on decel. everyone i've talked to says it's the turbo seals.... i DO have a spare turbo that has no shaft play, so i guess i could swap it out. my question is.... will installing a catch can after the valve...

hey all. i finally got my fresh motor in and put some miles on it. before it blew i had some smoking on decel, and i thought it was something in the motor. well, it's still doing it a bit, so i'm thinking it's the turbo now. i have a spare stock turbo that i can throw on, and i was wondering...

ok guys, here's one for you. while i was driving down the highway at 60, the lights flickered but i didn't really pay attention to it. about a half mile down the road they did it again, then the car just shut off. i did some diag on the side of the road, but i didn't feel safe there so i...

before the flaming starts, i searched but found no definitive answers. i'm installing new bearings in a used motor i picked up. i'm also doing a headgasket, timing belt, etc.... the question is......... what's the best option for getting gaskets for the job? i'm looking for a hg-intake gaskets...

i know i'm going to get some flack for asking this, but i haven't found the answer anywhere. are stock headbolts reusable? or are they tty? i only ask because i'm doing a very low budget rebuild on a spare motor until i can go balls out on the one in the car. thanks.......
