My 04 turbo colorado (build, destroy and rebuild thread)

[TLSheff]

OMG ...

[Kejross]

Damn I was going through the thread and figured a dyno video or track vid would be next and BAM chipped pistons... Very sorry to see that fella, get her back together and try again!

[Koniig]

I am sorry for your lots. :C

[BLKGP]

wow... what in the f*ck happened to #4? bet that was loud

thats from the piston ring bouncing around in the cylinder, actually it wasn't loud at all.. just the sh*t rattling inside the cylinder lol

Ya gotta learn somewhere...

How much knock was there?

messed up thing is while data logging with HPTuners, the scanning software never showed any knock at all... sooo my HPT is f**ked up or my knock sensors don't work

That sux dude. I had to sell my 07 when I had my daughter. Id say go for the concept the had for the Colorado SS. Pretty much a 2wd trailblazer setup or just sa f*** it and get a LS1 in there I think it was sum dude in Tennessee that did that not sure been outta that scene for a few years. remember tho in 07 GM made a few changes in the I4 and I5. All this you probably know.

i put the turbo up for sale.. everyone wants it but doesn't have the cash.. so f**k it, im buying another engine and starting over

[BLKGP]

put a deposit down on an engine yesterday, the yard still has to pull it from the truck.. hopefully i can pick it up sometime this week and drop it in this weekend.. got the complete engine, 32k miles, with accessories and harness for $800

[Kejross]

Nice!

[chevyy1212]

Thats not a bad deal.

Nice price for it being that complete! Did you get to hear it run prior to being pulled?

[MrPoopyButthole]

Oh snap...that blows. Glad to see you got a replacement already.

[BLKGP]

so i picked it up toady and guess what? the stripped all the accessories and hacked up the harness! f*ckin assholes.... whatever, they sold it to me for $650 instead of $800.. still a better deal than LQK wanting 1200 for one..







had a cracked valve cover which i already knew about.. so i swapped those out real quick along with my fuel rail and injectors..







these are some of the leftover parts

[Poil336]

those bastards. so... is this one getting the turbo too?

[TLSheff]

Nice Delivery Truck!!!


Glad you got the engine, sux that they hacked all the crap but I think it'd be better to just have the main engine go back in and use the parts you have that you KNOW work vs risking a broken wire causing problems or bad sensors or something like that later down the road, now you use all your old stuff with just the motor...

and don't forget the turbo, just get it properly tuned this time

[BLKGP]

those bastards. so... is this one getting the turbo too?

yup

Did you really have to use that tiny little hole in the bottom of the bellhousing to get the TC bolts out? Can't wait to see some more vids of her up an running again...

[boostedcompg]

nope, i pulled the starter out and the TC bolts were easy as hell to access, i don't think there's any way i could have gotten a wrench or ratchet in that access hole lol




































TADA!!!!!!!

[boostedcompg]

Keep going!
