Turbo engine build (pics)

[aleks77]

damn that sucks....how much boost were you running, 17-18?

i dunno what it was, coulda been a faulty inejctor that either got dust in it or lost connection and starved one of the cylinders for fuel. it was some kind of detonation, but im not sure what caused it. i was 14 psi when this happened

...makes me paranoid...im gonna go recheck my injectors....

damn man that sucks let me know if youre goin to part it out id like the cam and the oil pan and the rods hit me up

[prodigymb]

Yeah at this point someone wants to buy my engine,turbo setup,ecu,injectors, fuel pump, exhaust etc for 3500$. In the condition that its in right now, basically needs a piston. I can get 4 of those pistons at dealer cost very cheap, im just tired of it.

yo man if you get that trans out i will be willing to take it. i know we were supposed to trade but our schedules dont like each other. since your car is out of commission let me know wassup. i cant believe this happened to you. it drove pretty nice when u let me drive it and to hear about this just sucks.

Sorry to hear about that. It isn't very inspiring to see it last only 1000 miles....makes me wonder about dropping lots of cash on a build up.

heh yeah, well it was running great and then something went wrong. perhaps once the head is off ill be able to make more sense of what coulda happened. My EGTs were low, my AF was flatlined at 11.5:1.

[oneoffaccord]

sorry to hear your pain. 11.5:1 is still good. what where you tuning with? a chipped ecu?

[prodigymb]

uberdata chipped ecu and used a Zeitronix wideband, Defi egt guage
