Well I lost the motor on the BRG this morning. Oil pressure went to zero and knock, knock, knock. I shut it down and got a tow truck to bring it up to my work (dealership), but I know enough to know that it is going to have to come out of the car.
SUCK.
153,000 miles, hell my s2k buddy only got 25K out of his first motor... So I guess I will start planning the 1.8L coversion....

Bummer Kags! :( The good thing is Miata motors are fairly cheap, and now you get to go to a big-block!
After all the time and money spent on the greddy?Quote:

So would you be keeping the 1.6 ECU with Emanage wired in, or would that become available? :?: :D
Any other interesting 1.6 parts that might be available? :lol:

Forgot to add... Whens the swap? I'd love to help out. I may not be the best wrench man, but I am a top notched beer-run-driver! 8)
Wait until the turbo is at least cold.....Quote:

Kidding... I'm in for the conversion... lets clear out one of your garages and get to ripping!!
I forgot to ask, what do you think led to the loss of oil pressure?
It looks like the lower oil line line to the turbo came loose and I dumped all the oil, no oil, no pressure...Quote:

Sorry to hear about the Motor, man that sux.
I will be the second string beer runner if needed. :wink:
I was wondering if you were foolin'. Bastard! Had everyone going! :lol:
You still havn't spoken to the Inspection... wasn't today the last day you had to get it done?
I got a cat out of the scrap pile at work and had them weld it in at a muffler shop, I ended up failing because of high NOX which mean I have to pay for another inspection and turn my timing down. I am going after work today and see what happens.
Where is the S2K run tomorrow, I may swing by to say Hi?
Chris
:shock:
