Well the dreaded number 4 bit me in the ass. I am stock with a zex 50 shot (wet) Damn thing has been running good and all of a sudden the idle went to ****. Took the car to the shop checked my plugs they were fine. Went out for another run sprayed a few times then came back to the shop. My friend goes , why is your car smoking? So i lift the hood and there is oil everywhere, dipstick poped out. Well i did a compression test and found that cylinder 1,2,3 had 160 lbs and 4 was 60 lbs. I have been driving the car around still runs ok idle is a little off.
I am pretty sure i screwed the piston but is there a chance that it can be the valves?
There is no smoke out the tailpipe car still has good acceleration.


Yes i know i mispelled motor

 

I hope your car is ok. That is why I wouldn't put no2 on my car. If it runs, try to mitigate the problem now. Don't wait til it doesn't.

 

yea if i were you id stop driving, if you still have good acceleration then i cant really see it beeing a blown piston. gl waht ever it is.

 

Wait, let me get this straight you sprayed a 50 shot on a completely stock car without tuning? Was it wet or was it dry? Do you have the appropriate guages to monitor A/F ratios?

 

Stock and a 50 shot hmmmm. are you ok?

 

Stock with a 50 shot of nitrous...


....

I'm just gonna leave this one alone.

 

well, thats festive



you do not need to tune dick for a 50 shot wet anyways.

 

Another one bites the dust!

 

can i call you freddy mercury now?

 

Whatever floats your boat man! lol

 

lolz

 

apparently, if you're setup is correct, you shouldnt have issues with a 50 wet and being stock...thats a huge IF though, hence my cancelation of my order of a zex wet 50 during xmas...had second thoughts ....

hope your car is ok man

 

can you explain your setup, where was your extra fuel sprayer and NO2 nozzle installed? Did you tap the manifold?

 

I ran that shot for year and a half with no problems. I tapped the plastic just before the throttle body and sprayed through the sc, I cannot remember which wire i tapped into for the tps signal but will check later.
I was doing a little checking and found that the nitrous nozzle i went to had been drilled from a previous drag car setup we had. Thought we threw it away.
oh well ran good for awhile, according to the zex tech guy i was spraying 125 shot.

 

jets determine the hp, not the nozzle itself.

what jets were you runnin?

 

125 Shot - FTW!!!!!!!!

Or should I say FTL.

 

Possibly headgasket?

 

stock?...uh...
epic fail

 

^ u can run it stock...u should do some hard research/reading before u go making a statement like that.... its insulting to others, and yourself as well

 

aww snap
