no boost regulation ftw, i'm glad to be part of that

 

I still have a b16 that came with the car, so unless I find an ls soon I'll be back hopefully this weekend with no investment. We'll see I gotta fly outta state tomorrow for work so that kinda hampers locating an engine
First off the engine was concidered a time bomb when i bought it as it had water in the cyl and was rusted frozen. oil and force fixed that but cyl 3 had shitty compression from then on.

First ripper down the street with turbo broke the turbo, fixed that, 2nd ripper in 2nd to 3rd gear spiked the boost gage off the needle. It reads 20 max, and it was swept straight to it and slammed so who knows how high it went. Possibly what cracked them?

Then I got my license back at the beginning of the month, it's been hard to to slam it to boost every day but i tried to be good. Couple weeks ago i noticed it idling rougher, oil pressure was lower at idle, and it was pulling a little less vacuum. thats when i noticed the smoke under boost cause i was driving during the day for once. since then the smoke just got a little worse every day and vacuum got a little less. I'd say my basemap wasn't the best thing to be beating on.

Oh well, it was fun

 

Nice way how to blow her up Get here beck up and runing.
