blew my first honda engine yesterday :)
 

well, so long to the d15b7, my wastegate vac line came unplugged and it hit about 17psi before the bottom end finally let go. i have yet to take it apart, but my guess is the rod bearings are damaged. it runs ok, but it has horrendous knock.

found another d15b7 engine to replace it, has 100k miles on it and doug is giving it to me for $150 with a transmission ;D

carnage hasnt been popped open yet, im picking up the new engine today and dropping her in sometime this week. pics will be taken 8)

i'm following in the footsteps of my good friend clint, who has popped a total of 5 integra ls motors in his civic coupe. i guess running 8psi on zero fuel management'll do that huh :P

Ummm, Ya that will normally do that, At least the car would be fun for a small bit and you get really goood at swapping motors and WASTING ALL YOU MONEY on motors for being stupid.

I wouldn't be proud of blowing 5 ls engines. I'd ------- kicking myself in the ass and step away from a wrench and a car if I did that.
