Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

Well, at about 6:30 I hit the shop with a new set of pistons and a honing tool. Ran into some sticky spots, but all came out well.

The carnage:

Cylinder 1 ringlands cracked and fucked hard with no lube, (155psi compression before rebuild)

Cylinder 2 ringlands cracked and fucked hard with no lube. i couldnt get some of the rings out of the lands at all, they're like pinched in there( 110psi compression before rebuild)

Cylinder 3 ringlands cracked but no chunks of ringlands broken loose. lots of cylinder contact, took a while to hone out (170psi)

Cylinder 4 ringlands cracked but no chunks broken loose(190psi)

Now here's something I found really weird.

Cylinder 1 upper rod bearing was chewed to ----, and broken in half, yet the car still ran smooth and didn't knock. ACL Bearings. Anyone have that happen before? The rest of the bearings looked great, all were plastigauged and within spec when first assembled.

I'll try to get a good camera tomorrow and see if I can get some pics, right now its 3:30AM and I just wanna go to bed.

Big thanks to Lincoln (EJ1 Wilcox) for all the help, that woulda totally sucked flying solo on that job, and thanks to steve(88dx) for the fly d16 pistons.

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

ur map must really suck if ur blown stock d pistons before stock d rods
good luck on round #2 ;)

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

i agree with ravage.

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

agreed

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

ya fook only retards drive on cars with no tune.

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

as if you guys never blew ringlands before ::)

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

Just another victim motor in a long string of projects.

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

I hope it blows up again :-*

Re: Motor is kickin again!

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

Damn. Another motor?!?! Tune your ----, Fook. :o

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

you obviously dont know much about cars.
would you like to see the datalogs assbag? it was tuned very well.

thats because youre IQ is a whopping 3.

don't even get me started on your dumb ass.

word

stfu noob.

me too. O0

good job joining the bandwagon dipshit. ::)

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

What are your CR #'s now? what did you end up replacing all the rod bearings or just one? We need pics ;)

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

i havent done a comp test yet, might as well let the new rings get some sealing action. I only replaced the one rod bearing cause thats all that I had. I'm really sketchy on how its gonna hold up. I'll get pics later, right now I have to go get Jeff's subs.

ok you talked me into it...

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

I'm glad you made it home last night okay! I was so tired for that damn drive home, I almost fell asleep.

Did you ever figure out what that squeaking sound was?

And did you get a chance to break it in a little better on the way home?

I'm interested to see what the compression test results will be.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

as for the squeak, other than intercooler rubbing, everything else seems fine.

i dont know how well it will break in, but theres no smoke so i guess thats promising. now if i can just get my oil return to stop leaking i will be set.

as for the compression, after about almost 100 miles on it now, it seems to stil puff outta the oil cap quite a but, but theres nothing coming out of the breather, so I am assuming its just normal amount.

car stinks pretty bad still, need to spray out the engine bay with some degreaser.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

----. that sucks man. Whast the setup this time? (or did I miss it?...I'm tired as hell)

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

same setup.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

I bet your cylinder walls looked hot :-X

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

yeah they needed quite a bit of honing, so we busted out the 40's of 8 ball and went to town.

nothing like draining down a couple OE's while you rebuild a motor.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

wow. i agree with everyone else. shitty tune.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

OE's? Holy ---- thats gangster, were you guys braiding each other's hair too?

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

you agree with everyone else because you really have no clue as to what else to say

the tune was fine, perfectly conservative.

earlier in the day i was attempting to work out my wastegate issues with the internal 14b gate, and the changes i made ended up making a couple unexpected extra pounds of boost in the top of 4th.

dipshits.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

bah, ---- happens and parts break (I was at a nice afr in the 11s with conservative timing when my ringlands broke......at 14 psi)...nice work on the quickie rebuild...maybe both of ours will hold together for a bit. I like seeing people fix their ---- fast because ive seen too many cars just sit and collect dust when ---- goes a little wrong (like mine on previous occasions). so instead of bashing him on how/why it broke, he gets a thumbup for getting it moving again

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

word, 90% of the pussies bashing on it have never boosted a honda, or were to chicken ---- to ever run more than 8psi anyways.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

srry if i misseed it but how much boost were you pushing when this happened... were you beating the ---- of it or just cruise'n

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

it blew at the top of 4th on a 1/4 mile pass. I had spent the day messing with the wastegate and hadn't fixed the problem i thought i had. a little boost creep to the 13-14psi range without the proper timing pulled out did the job.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

damn shitty deal what was your setup ?

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

what do you mean was? its not like i threw it away or anything.

your basic 14b/hf setup.

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

What's that now, like; d-series - 6, Fook - 0? ;) Its pretty obvious that detonation killed those ringlands not a lean condition, so obviously your ---- wasnt tuned conservatively enough that your motor couldnt handle a few more lb's of boost for a few seconds.

Re: Motor is kickin again!
 

Update: did a cold temp compression test today (not enough time on lunch break to warm the car up) and tested 195psi give or take a couple psi on all 4 cylinders, appears to be sealing up good.

actually its 4-0 but you were close ;)

are you really still out to seem cool by dogging on my tune?

I thought I made it perfectly clear that no lean condition caused those ringlands to break, and I never argued that detonation is the culprit.

Its not terribly surprising, 19 degrees of timing and weak cast pistons on creeps from 13-14psi, ------- duh.

Like I give a ---- anyways, I already have the motor rebuilt and running good.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

bitch ass ----------ers.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

---- YOU FOOK AND YOUR PEICE OF ----, ROLL UP ON ME ON THE FREEWAY FUCKER AND THEN TALK ---- YOU LITTLE BASTARD

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

total signature material right there.

$100 says mycrx knows this guy.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

Homemadeturbo.com, where n00bs yell at YOU for breaking ringlands.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

after i mud hole your ass i'm gonna slap my nuts all over your ------- face you ----

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

THATS RIGHT BABY, TAKE YOUR 13YO COCK DOWN THE STREET BEFORE I COME OVER THERE AND ---- YOUR ASS

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

eww being gay is gross.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

I like the super fast rebuild, was the block still in the car too?

quit fighting like a bunch of fags, interneting yelling is stupid.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

yup, in car rebuild.

Re: Motor is kickin again! PICS of Carnage
 

Damn dude, your tune was ------- dead on, that's pretty impressive...

I need to do some more work on my tune, I'd like to see my AF curve that flat.

Glad to hear your car is running well and you have good compression.
