I agree with you totally, I have done one or two hard runs in my car and the IAT2 is near 180 and that scared me... Once the temps get any higher than that the car start pulling a ton of timing due to pre detonation .. Loss of a ton of power quick, and thats where the engine cant hold as well... but that is in some cases, not all....

Hope your car did just blow the intake mani gasket like mine did... good luck, keep posting!

 

How in the hell did you get your iat2's near 180??? I am assuming a small pulley and no cooling mods with back to back to back to back runs?

I couldn't hit 180 unless I intentionally emptied out my methanol tank, and did like 5 back to back runs.

 

well luckly urs still runs, mine motor completely shut down, wont crank over

that 2.6 pulley has got to go, completely out of efficiency, way to much heat and with our bottle neck intake manifold iam surprised you havent blown the head gasket

 

thats because 95% of the people on here have no ******* clue whats going on when it comes to tuning and forced induction.

 

shawn this is what happened when mine blew at 55mph with cruise set. same delima. what happened was the number 4 piston leaned and cracked and it somehow caused some other piston rings to blow thus the dipstick kept blowing out covering everything in oil. dont think if it stops smoking very bad or running somewhat decent that it was nothing. its blown. mike has my number if you wanna give me a call and tell me excatly what happened.

 

sounds like you did what I did, and I blow out a piston ring on the #4, and I did do a compression test and it came out fine but it was a lower ring allowing oil to past by. well its winter a good time to tear it down and make it better.

 

Well going to start pulling the motor out...going to do a full build...going with a forced preformance FP3065 Ball Bearing Turbocharger...dyno chrat pit down 559WHP...so i'm hoping to get a little over 400WHP....gotta find someone who can make rods for these cars since no one makes them...

 

You have a few choices for rods...

 

I got a set of Pauter Billet chromoly rods for sale $850 shipped.
NIB never touched.

 

u want cash or trade some parts...i have meth stage 2 used for 100 miles...or if u want some cash and ur not in a hurry let me sell some parts...selling blower header catless dp meth sportline springs 2.6 pully pully tens. cx racing heat exchanger..Intake manifold...u let me know or just pm me...

 

cash would be fine. I doubt you would have any parts I need anyway. (turbo swapped car)

 

sorry to hear bout the motor how much you want for the heat exchanger

 

Ouch. I just read what happened then you were going to rip motor out.

What happened? Cyl 4 lean out on you?

And to the guy who said its the cars....heavy racing will kill ANY car.

 

Ok well I will take them off of your hands, but if your in a hurry to get rid of them then go ahead. Its gonna be a little while until I get all the money to do everything...Im getting 15,000.00 in feb so i'm using 7000.00 on the build...If your willing to wait then thats cool....The heat exchanger 125.00 shipped....Also dont know what all happened yet, i think a head gasket maybe started it but i dunno b.c the compression was 200,185,180,200...and it should be with 10-15 of eachother...i will find out when i rid the motor apart, also i'm sending the tranny to TRE in Michigan to get fully built...so hopefully nothing else happens....knock on wood!!!!!!

 

get the tranny cryo'd and you will be saving yourself time and money for the future

 

well T.R.E is cutting me a real good deal since it will be the first cobalt tranny to get built...also where can i send my rods to get cryoed

 

What's TRE's website? I need my MX6 tranny built(going to stay auto to shock people )

 

i dont know there website i will give you there number and you can call them

 

You can send it by PM.

 

sorry it took me a long time, i'm going to iraq in jan so i've been doing alot of crap for the army...i will pm you when i get to my phone tomorrow...at my mom's house right now

 

i race mine all the time and i havent blown it up. I mean i dog the crap out of it too.

However, after data-logging long enough you know when to back off and treat her right every now and again. I would never have dropped below a 2.8, or 2.7 strictly for track. WOT runs i stick to max 30 seconds...then baby it for a while before getting on it again.

EGTs are HUGE. In fact, count on shutting it down after a dig run from 0-100+. or let it coast a bit before turning it back on. Yea, its annoying but prevents slow damage.
