I am also running just a downpipe until my vibrant setup gets here so its extra nasty

 

After all of your troubles this should be front page news. Start a new thread. Congratulations. This is the news we have all been waiting for.

 

i might go finish everything else up right now im so ******* happy

 

i already told u congrats once via msn, but congrats again bud

 

woot and i was honestly starting to think it would never run again!!!

down with negatism

cobalt FTW!!!!!

seriosly there is no way in hell i can sleep but cant do **** till i get my tuners cable back, and get some help to bleed the clutch

 

Congratulations!
A video would be oh so sweet :-)

 

lets hear this SOB!!!!

 

Hurray!!!!! I hope that squirter missing doesn't cause a problem.

 

Your missing an oil squirter??? That piston will be toast in a month...

 

f'n right doggy!!!

 

The Oil Sqirter is an intergral part of the engine cooling system. I don't beleive you that someone at a Licenced Engine Shop told you they are not important... Was it the Janitor or the Secretary...??

The option is to fix it.

1. The heatloading across the 4 will not ballance, this will cause the one piston to expand at a diferent rate and swell in the cylinder.

2. It will increase the heat of that piston, because it is hotter in that one cylinder, you will encounter problems with detonation in only that one cylinder. The others will be fine but when you come on to it, that one cylinder will limit your HP across the entire bowerband.

The OPTION is to replace it. Buy a new block if you have to, I replaced my Mazda engine from Valve cover to oilpan for $800.00... Sold half the **** for a total of $600.00 and used that block and head..

 

Damn BD, I hope it works out for you. I think that is something I would have not taken a chance with though. Time will tell I guess...

 

well for one I"m happy for ya man,,, I know this has been one hell of a project and I followed it from day one... I just hope that oil squirter doesn't cause ya major problems.. it is actually a very important part of the motor.. especially runnnin high boost and compression... If I were you I would limit the amount of time you spend at WOT and hope for the best...
Good luck man now lets see some damn vids.. I gotta see/hear this thing go

 

dude thats sweet u got it working, sorry for the negatism but u finally got it started

lets hope it stays working

 

Congrats on getting it running. However I think your a fool for running it without the oil squirter. I know your anxious to get the project done, but you have to do it right. If you need a new block then that's what you need. You don't want to break more parts and be back in the same boat again with a broken car.

 

congrats man!! Sound clip ASAP

 

i wanna hear this beast

 

I don't think it will last very long minus the oil injector.

 

+1. Wow bdwarr6, you are seriously asking for more problems!

 

If the place you took it was such a good shop they could have MADE a plug and threaded it for you. I think you're asking for trouble with that. It is cool that you got it running but I hope you don't fry it.

 

agreed...with the thousands youve spent so far, how much more would it be to just get one custom made?

 

I was broke by the end

 

Still, you should have waited til you had enough to get that squirter fixed. Now your motors worthless because 1 piston is running 2 or 3 times hotter than the others, knock is gonna be crazy IN THAT 1 piston, and the piston will prolly melt as soon as it sees long continous WOT use You doomed yourself to blow the motor again...

 

now he is selling the car

 

Think what you want i run with 0 knock period, temps are were way below normal, there was no problem no i did throw out the bearing in my supercharger

I have done several runs to 150mph and ran it there for 2-3 miles rest assured its not that

Im selling my car not that I cant afford it, my income just more than doubled.... it doesnt fit my lifestyle anymore. This is honestly a pointless argument
