It was NA when I sold it to him, but I had boosted it for 8 months or so and had low compression in 1 cylinder when I went back to NA
Oh I found the real cause of what happened. I used a plastic vaccum line to gofrom the boost source to my boost controler and it was to close to my turbo and melted :X :1 :S huhhh I zip tied it but it was still to close I guess. I'm so pissed at myself right now. Guys you'll see in the pics tomorrow night this is the cleanest engine Ive ever taken apart before. It looks better than the 84k f22b1 bottom end I'm putting in it tomorrow. You can read the marks on the pistons theres no carbon build up on anything it's just a light brown color in the middle of the pistons. |

Well I noticed ect's going up aout 5 degrees in boost. I really think it was that that motor was just done. It had 180k on it and looking at the plugs they had no sign of det. lean if anything. I'll know more tomorow night. This happening kind of shakes my confidence. But I guess all I can do is learn from it and move on. I won't be voluteering to tune anyone elses car until this new motor survives awhile. It only has 84k on it and the accord it's in is clean except for the damage from the wreck. You can tell the car was old lady driven. |

Re: Self Owned!!
Well I guess if a mod want's to move this go ahead. Right after it happened it shook my condidence as a tuner and I thought I'd have to go about learning what I did wrong. But it was just a dumb mechanical mistake that I really can't beleive I did.
this is what did it :1 https://hometown.aol.com/dwmcintosh2...pics%20085.jpg and heres the dead pistons. https://hometown.aol.com/dwmcintosh2/images/ownage.jpg I guess it just built up god knows how much psi with the vacuum line to wastegate melted in half and just blew the tops off those two pistons. |

Re: Self Owned!!
Right after I got out of prison, I had 6 hours before I had to be to a wedding. After doing time I just wanted boost, almost as much as vaginal sex. Got my t3/t04b back on in 5 hrs, pulled on the hwy, 1st pull blew a coupler off. Pulled over, noticed the WG nipple hose was cracked - still no idea how much boost it made. Boosted fine after.
Some people have luck, some don't. And I got some back after loosing a shitload of luck. :-\ |

Went to prison for 15 years got out and after three months desided to rob a bank on presidents day. He jumped out of his car threw the mask over his had and ran up to the banks door and found it locked :1 :1 His luck was so bad that a cop spotted him and needless to say they violated his parole. I think he onlt had to serve out less than a year somehow because the next summer he was back out and working with me again layng brick. |
