There are people here running ebay turbos reliably. But those wheels are sexy, and that thing has a Tom's lip!

For the money you can gather better parts for a turbo kit just my 2cents.

The last thing I bought on ebay thats not oem I got stranded in the middle of I94 and almost died if that semi didn't switch lanes I would have been a goner the car completely shut off and wouldn't start...having your car towed in the middle of the highway is not fun and nor is it cheap...just my exp with ebay parts.

I should of noticed when it happened to me the other day before the incident it died on me while driving luckily I rolled into the nearest gas station and after 3 min it started back up the next day was just horrible....

$600 to tow car to shop
$200 At the shop to tell me the new dizzy I bought was defective
Got 70% of what I spend on the new dizzy back because of restocking fees

Lost $800 in one day the company I bought the dizzy from refused to reimburse me for the headaches...never again with this ebay junk. I still buy used oem parts from ebay though but thats it lol.

They have limited warranty on theirs I though for the same price $200 why not get one with lifetime warranty ?? I guess I learned the hard way...

Sup. That 94 St is my cousins car.

It's not bad for $700.

Alrighty........

UPDATE:

Got my dad's truck to start and crank over. The 3VZE is getting spark, air, and fuel. There is gas where the gas line meets the fuel rail, although I haven't checked the fuel injectors yet, could be the possible culprit. Starter fluid helps the motor stay afloat about 2000 rpm, anything after that the motor bogs down and dies. We were able to siphon majority of the old gas out and put in new gas.

Any clue?

#2471

It could be the distributor too. More than likely injectors need cleaning though.

If you want a performance one and have money, I would go with Koyo: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Koyo-Alumin...sQ5fAccessories

Or go with one of these: http://www2.partstrain.com/store/?PN=9234&...8universal:0%29

I might be free over weekend. I'm not sure though. Just PM me your number or something.
