Piston rings =teh loss!!
 

I blew them at 130mph while racing an E36 M3(interstate)...they had been going for a while(explains the smoke after a hard run) 8)...haha...excited about building the motor and I layed down a 14.8 @ 97mph with blown rings at the track before I blew her up...the accord will be put back together soon...if the Crx doesnt see a turbo on its d16y8 ;D...Life is sweet and a motor shutting off at that speed and not coming back was EXCITING! :) I will get pics once I take her appart O0

whats your setup ?

Re: Piston rings =teh loss!!
 

t3 60 trim, custom log style manifold, tial 38mm gate with 10lbs spring, dsm 450s, and a vafc hack...the rings have been on the outs for a while(assuming)...even had some smoke when she was stock...I assumed it was the oil being fed back thru the IM from the PCV when I was getting on it in transfer of gear...but after the most recent turbo install the smoke was very dense and was only after I got thru with a hard run...
