Well I was merging onto the highway in 3rd hit full boost and gigantic steam cloud follows and low coolant light and check engine like soo hopefully I didn't blow a sleeve yet again I'll know more Monday when I pull the head off at work If I blew a sleeve again it's just going to sit till next spring and put a zzp shortblock in it and have some real fun

 

Damn sorry to hear that, hope everything comes Out ok

 

Dang. Nice work! lol Your just on your second block right? Will be nice peace of mind with the forged bottom end.


What will you drive in the meantime?

 

I have a 1995 chevy 1500 4x4 as my winter beater

 

Build that bitch and make it bullet proof. Oh, and up the boost while you're at it lol. Let us know what popped.

 

hope its just a head gasket, good luck!

 

If I buy a built shortblock you better believe I'm making 600whp or bust but I'll know more tomorrow

 

i just recently got my 2.4 turbo'd with zzp stage 3, any words of wisdom mccgee?

 

Don't go over 12 psi on an otherwise stock engine

 

x2

 

E85 n 10psi if your not ready to break **** lol

 

x3

 

Sub' for build thread

 

Well cylinder 3 sleeve is non existent cylinder head is trashed back to the drawing board I go

 

Figured as much. So built bottom end w/ zzp girdle i assume?

 

damn man.. who did you have tuning your car this time?

this makes me glad I have a built engine but at the same time you're busing sleeves.. which isnt something I addressed... i dont understand that though.. there are other people 350whp+ and no problems on the kappa

 

Trifecta it's not the tune I abuse the car Alot it was a easy low to mid 400whp car my best friend has a built motor sti 2k injectors e85 35r on 30psi n I walk it from a 40roll

 

oh ok I thought you were at the 377 whp still .. now I dont feel so bad lol 400+ is a bit more understandable

 

It made 377-377 on 12 psi and a awd mustang dyno where my buddy Scotts Evo that has a 6266 on 43psi only made 490 when 5 days prior it made 680 on buschars dyno and it went 10.0@146mph with a 1.7 60ft

 

oh snap lol yea you were definitely on burrowed time

 

Yup but worth it ha

 

i'm wondering what I'll put down of I go this weekend

 

I was worried for a sec here with my 375whp goal on my stock bottom end.

Sucks it blew, but I'm happy it was at over 375whp....LOL

 

**** i'll be happy with 340 whp for now lol

 

My new goal is 550+ haha
