MCM's 2ZR swap

[kevinj93]

It didn't sound healthy.

They kept mentioning the $169 turbo, but never mentioned the cost of the Haltech ECU.

I sure hope that's not the limit. But it was an older engine and you never know what shape it was in originally. I can't see the failure being caused by the Haltach technician. Surely those guys could see detonation coming before it occured. I'd love to see the dyno sheet if it had info on AFR.

Haltech is probably free or very discounted for them.

eBay turbos aren't always bad, but one that cheap is destined to fail. Check out the turbos that the BoostedBoiz and PFI Speed are using from ebay. Several cars making 1000whp with honda K series and ebay turbos pretty reliably.
