    something my friend did that wasn't smart

    Well my friend owns a 95? (I think that's the year) 240sx and he did an s14 sr20det swap (most people do the s13 swap). But anyway, he got a new turbo not too long ago....paid like 1600 for it (this turbo was HUGE!) and he finally made custom piping for it and got everything hooked up. Well, he wanted to get it tuned right and so he went to his buddy who owns a dyno. I wasn't there, but I guess he ran his car 19 times in a row trying to tune it right and couldn't get it perfect. Well he paid for pushing his car 19 times.....the whole motor blew. I guess he can't even salvage the block and head because he F'ed it up so bad. He told me that one of his sparkplugs just fell right down into a cylinder.

    I've never heard of a sparkplug just dropping into a cylinder, so can someone please tell me how something like this can happen?

    IMO, I thought it was extremely dumb for him to run his car 19 times.

          I agree with what they can handle because those motors are beast. But with them not tuned right and 19 hard pulls......I'm not surprised that he killed it. Those motors on stock internals can handle 500hp!

          I think* he was running 14psi..I think. I'll have to find out.
