I wanted to blow it, but not this early. I was planning to build a bigger stronger block in the winter. but it blew in the summer.

I just went for a joy ride through the city, and the engine got hot around 220* f so I stop by the shoppette to get some beer and a movie decided to refresh my methanol mix from 50/50 and add a bottle of heet to the mixture. got on the autobahn, perfect a race audi s4. flip the high boost switch and left him like he was standing still, egt clinbing up in the 1700* f range I backed off and let him catch his momentum, then tore into him again. nasty smell from exhaust and grey smoke smell like burning ----, and rough accelleration I slowed down and cruise home when I got home all I hear is this loud knocking comming out of the motor sound like ---- knocking around in the oil pan. I think my bearings are gone.

perfect time to start my 2.0l ls/vtec Golden eagle sleeved built. I will be in miami on monday for 2 weeks so I will be shopping for a new, or used golden eagle block.

How much boost is your "High boost"?
What do you have for tuning?
How do you know the guy in the Audi was racing you?

I just did another inspection on the car, it still runs strong and not smoking, still have oil pressure, and idle normal, its just this loud knocking.
I instect all the spark plugs, and they look good.

run it till you put a hole in the block

we have been racing in the streets before we got on the autobahn, audis are easy to beat I also own one.
I do this on the daily so the car has served its time well, daily ripping in 5th gear at high rpms

You've been overheating and beating down on that engine for a long, long time, Leroy. You keep mentioning overheating issues. I'm surprised it's lasted this long.

Frankly, you've probably been feeding it too much ignition timing and/or you have a headgasket issue. For a long, long time.

I'd do a leakdown test and check mains/rods before you so much as drive the car again. I can understand not giving a ---- and wanting to build a new setup, but frankly you probably have something well worth salvaging.

rudebwoy

I know ! I plan to reuse the head crank and rods if they are in good shape. but the block is going to the pile or send in as a core, I need a break from this game anyway.
I plan on getting my motorcycle license next week, so I might switch gears a little, but I will still build my civic, I am gonna have to sell one of my cars though. I am only allowed to have 3 vehicles registered at a time. so I will park the civic for a while.

You tuned it yourself, right? Can you find a dyno and drop some money for a couple or three hours, either on this setup if you think it's fixable or on the next? I'd like to give you a list of tips and tricks and see what you can make of it.

rudebwoy

yes me and my boy tuned it, but we are having a hard time finding a all wheel drive dyno, I only found one so far at bosch the charges 40 euros a run, and they max out at 300whp, the last time I used them I was smoking my tires at 336whp on a t3/super 60 the next time I am gonna find one , even if I have to tow it to berlin, and take my boy's advice keep the car off the streets, run it only at the track. I will try to rebuild it, but I won't put no serious money into it, I might change the bearings and run it till the other block is ready, I am not completey done, I also have a built b16 block in my garage, I just did not want to go backwards.

rudebwoy

I would really like some better knowledge on tuning timing, because I think I have problem in that department, I have the AFR down to a science, but EGT is kicking my ***.
