No money for ZE, i'm set for the swap though. Got the ECU, and the turbo + manifolds.

Is it normal for these engines to only last 160,*** miles?

lol after reading the first cupple posts i thaught he was serious.

what happened?

Xavier · Post by **Xavier** » February 25th, 2008, 7:11 pm

K8 for the time being. And yes i pulled the motor because the rod went. As soon as i get the cash gathered back up i'll be deciding whether to go with de or ze whichever best fits my needs. Already have the Turbo manifold and turbo. So i will definitely build whichever 2.5 i get for that purpose. With the K8 in there i'm going to focus on suspension cuz the stock suspension setup sure ain't going to cut it when i have the 300+ horsepower i'm aiming for.
