NWSPECB Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I don't even want to see pics. They would just make me sad to see a LGT so beat up and poorly cared for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorr Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 I don't need to research. I know that these are good cars. Its almost impossible for the turbo to be going bad at less than 100,000 miles. Also, any amount of research isn't going to tell you that your fuel injector is missing and glued shut. I talked with a few local people. Someone suggested that I put a non turbo engine in it. They said it would be more reliable that way anyways. Is this true?

ssbtech Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Please show us some photos of the car so we can believe you. Now you're talking about a non-turbo motor The turbo could easily be shot at 100,000 miles if the car wasn't cared for properly, used crap oil, too long of an OCI, etc...

Thorr Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 What is OCI. Why should I waste my valuable time taking pictures of a car that you guys will ridicule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCASEYS Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 OCI= oil change interval I donated to LegacyGT.com which allows me to have this nifty signature.

I Donated thefultonhow Posted August 11, 2012 I Donated Share Posted August 11, 2012 I don't need to research. I know that these are good cars. Its almost impossible for the turbo to be going bad at less than 100,000 miles. Turbo failures are extremely common on LGTs -- you'd know this if you researched. Granted, the majority of turbos that fail are the VF40s that came on the 05-06es, but the VF46 on the 07-09 has been known to fail if not taken care of, too. And yes, the non-turbo motor would be more reliable... if you can get it to run right in a turbo car, which is doubtful. With that said, if you take care of a turbo motor properly, 9 times out of 10 it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbtech Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 ssbtech I don't care what you think. Just go away. In the many years I've been browsing this forumn and few that I've been posting, I don't think I've ever read a post where someone's fuel injector was replaced with glue in their half beat-up "good condition" car. Sorry, but it just doesn't add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChefRacer Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 If there really is glue in your injector hole in place of an injector that would cost the previous owner $25-50 used, how did you drive the car away from the dealership without thinking....."WOW this car is really fucked up, I can't believe I just bought such a piece of crap. I mean it's in really good shape despite the fact that somebody went after half the body and windows with a baseball bat, but the engine barely runs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
