Hahaha, just gimme a heads up, and well be rocking a race tune. Or another head gasket....:P

 

exactly what i was thinking

 

Glad to hear she is back up and running strong for you.

 

soooo....

 

the fun didnt last long...




i was logging, so ill give you some background info.


12.7psi
7gph meth
21-25* timing
12.5-11.8 afr
ZERO KNOCK...
3rd gear pull from 3000-7200

 

12.7 psi?

sleeves finally gave up?

 

I'd say sleeve from my experience lol

 

you dont count steven, you have seen shaun go through this lol.

but yes im surprised you nailed it, i figured everyone would of been quick to think rotating assy.


so not only did my **** break down... but the tow truck guy ripped my back bumper off and attempted to rip my intercooler off... What a jack ass this guy was.

i took pics of him in the process so they have no why to deny it.
















yeah WTF 12psi? this is ******* silly im so pissed off, its like you probably thought when your **** happened. what do i do now, im not going all out sleeve and balance shaft, just for something else to blow...


im thinking of dropping the whole project and going back to my rootz... SBC on SPRAY low 10's all day...


so i think im gonna have a turbo kit up for sale along with a few other things... it had one of those pops out the exh at like 7000-7200 and i let up and i saw the idle was erratic so i dropped a gear and felt vibes, pulled over and heard Subaru so i turned it off and called AAA. no smoke no steam and a baby ******* crack, WTF it could of at least threw a rod or gernaded the block something cool to post at least.... im highly disappointed in my lsj.

 

Sorry to hear that happened. It's truely unfortunate. Well, I hope you end up happy with whatever you decide to do in the end.

 

Damn man. Truly stinks but it's time for these cars to go.

I had one of those pops when I was spraying an LNF. Got home and did a comp test asap. Everything turned out ok. Ended up doing another about 3 weeks ago and comp is still perfect

 

I was hoping I'd be wrong...

Is it to expensive to re-sleeve it w/ some dartons?

 

that was way too much timing man (think cylinder pressure). only reason my car was surviving on the stock motor was I kept it below 19 degrees under boost.
yours definitely went nicer than mine though. that's a baby crack lol

 

i thought meth keeps them piston crown all shinny, why do i see dirty crowns?
dumb question.

 

the block is cracked steven, its done for!



I know, i was on the waste gate and my timing map wasent dialed in for that low of boost so it was up in the .80 g/cyl and timing was still aggressive in that section. it was a huge mistake...

right when it happened i kinda thought about that, and i was nervous to look at the log thinking i was gonna see a **** load of knock...

i was so suprised to see NONE at all, afr did drop to 11.8 but it was at about 12.5 till 6000 rpm

i was maf tuning, for 12psi so i could run that for a little while. it made 1 pull and on the second it blew.

they would be ten times worse, without it. that carbon builds up cause your not always on the meth.

 

yeah chris's motor cracked a piston on 23 degrees and 18 psi on meth and race gas. 0 knock too, just too much pressure for the damn motor to take.... damn shitty stock cleeves.

 

last dumb question, why does it look like 1-4 is cleaner than 2-3?

 

those two ingested coolant, cleaning them off.

 

oh ok , i wasnt sure if it was 1&4 is gettin less fuel than 2-3. ty for answering dumb **** =p

 

damn that sux chris, been there done that, just purchased a stock motor, dropping the boost to survivable amounts and gonna tone it down a bit. btw, do a google search for b207r and b207l motors in google shopping, there the same motor just the saab version with oil and coolant lines allready. and there usually about $600-1000 plus shipping, usually far less abuse as well.

 

they are turbo jimbo, but are they the lsj or the lnf?

 

Lsj type

 

Chris, sorry to hear man.

You turbo guys do it all wrong!
This is destruction from supercharged powa!

 

that's purty. but if you can't see through your block, you're doing it wrong.

 

grrrreat info, i appreciate it!



god damn shaun, i didnt know it was like that!!! why couldent mine of done something cool, mine was probably the lamest ever... stupid little hair line fracture, i should of dropped a gear and blew it up good so id have some awesome destruction at least lol

I FAIL...

didnt trix have a whole in the block? lol.

 

Ya you got me there.

**** it, shoulda turned it back on and drove it home. Thats what i did, I had already knew what failed, just said **** it, lol.
