Il try to summirize here: For the last 14 months my SX has given nothing but shit. It reached a point where id be suprised if it even made 60kw. due to many things like cashflow and no other car i bought a jap engine.
Gave it a look over and it looked good.
Anyway the headgasket on the current engine gave in so it was finally time to do something about swapping the engine. A mate came to the resque and loaned me one of his cars. This was weeks ago, cant remember how long even.
Did the swap, kept my original turbo because it was supposed to be the one in better condition having 'apparently' had a refurb about 15k km ago.
OMG i drove the car, all the problems i had that just could not be solved where gone! I've never heard a SX idle as quetly and smoothly as this one was. Unbelieveable. Joy had overcome me. It pulled like a train, well it felt like it too me. I was almost too scared to drive it
BUT...The turbo started smoking and had a bit of a leak on the waterpump. I was annoyed to say the least. My so called 'rebuld' turbo fooken dying pissed me off. Ok things are going well. new waterpump upgrade the turbo (with waht money
) and il be sorted. Got home took off the turbo and replaced waterpump, that was just over two weeks ago.Dropped off my turbo to get a GT28R turbine wheel put on and new seals yada yada. Jeez
was screwed around by the guy from the begging. Eventually i got the turbo back last night only to find that it has just got new seals and bearings, no upgrade WTF!! he couldnt do it or something 
thanks for telling me so i could have got it done somewhere else Now im dissapointed, seriously. and then to top it off i managed to lock the keys in the car im using while i was still in the duldrums of the turbo issue. Oh cant forget to add that i had to assemble the turbo myself because bolts had broken off in the Ex. housing and he didnt have time to take them out.So got to my mate, got the stupid broken bolts out and assembled. put on the turbo. battled atleast two hours on 1 stupid water line
and eventually enough was done to start the car 
and it was only 1am tooCranked the engine over awhile to get oil flowing into the turbo and that, everything sounded normal. Put the fuel pump fuse back and tried to start. well after alot of praying it did eventually kinda start. but it almost refuses to idle, its lumpy as fooken hell. if you try to rev it abit it just wants to die. It even had a "backfire" But it came from the intake somewhere. It was a pretty loud bang, but it came out of the airfilter not the exhaust
Go to your SX, unplug the AFM and start, that is still better than how my car is running now. Something is also making a noise, really weird type of rubbing noise like a belt rubbing on something cant be to hard to findAnyway by 3am decided to start cleaning up. I dont know what to do. When i get home im going to check if the timing belt jumped a tooth or something, its the only thing i can think of. But it wont be that im sure. What could i have done wrong, putting on a timing belt isnt rocket science.
I even bought a Nissan one with the marks on it just to be sure, i didnt want to take the chance of putting it on wrong, and i have done it a few times before.
HELP!
Im so angry i almost dont care anymore.
and yes thats the summarized version.
il start with the basics to try get rid of the miss but overall im happy.
