not sure what happend.. thought i blew something?!?
Well... I got my turbo installed and only have a basemap on it... and you guessed it... I ran it fairly hard today. To put it as simply as i can.. I was at about 6-7k and it goes BOOM and a small cloud of black smoke goes out the back. Then it shuts off.
I originally thought that I either snapped a rod/ring lands were fried/ or bent a rod. However.. It cranks but wont turn over. SO I did a compression check. All are within 20 psi of eachother at around 180 (was like that before I went turbo). No really loud noises or anything when I go to crank it so I doubt its anything internal. (not sure tho).
SO.. that kind of leads me to believe that its my timing belt. I thought my belt could have skipped some teeth or something. I took the valve cover off and couldn't tell much from there. Is it possible for the engine to do something like that and not start up? Or did I seriously **** something up? .
After all of this is done... I will NEVER drive another car unless it is properly tuned.

So just a loud *** backfire and then nothing? Sounds like ignition to me, if you bent/threw a rod you would know it, if the compression is the same as it was than chances are your ring lands are fine.

And if you snapped the t-belt you wouldn't have any compression :1
