possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

came home from school and was driving around and making some movies to post when after 2 nice pulls, it started jerking a little under load. i took it easy coming home. wasn't super worried since it didn't make any sudden jerks or noises. it didn't even make a noise idling. it seemed to be missing on 1 cylinder so i checked and sure enough, #3 isn't firing. ran a compression check and all the others are around 185, but #3 is reading 30 at best.....----. i've never blown an engine so i'm not sure what to expect. it just doesn't really add up.

headgasket or valve or something? what do you guys think?

Re:well possibly blew the zc..............MEGA GAY!!
 

Man that blows :-X

You back this way again?

Re:well possibly blew the zc..............MEGA GAY!!
 

Burning anything?, Coolant or Oil? Could be the gasket, could be your rings, I dont think its your valves.
pull the head tomorrow let us know and please take some pics.

Re:well possibly blew the zc..............MEGA GAY!!
 

ring lands

Re:well possibly blew the zc..............MEGA GAY!!
 

ya back home for the weekend sinister.

well it doesn't appear to be smoking. it did smell bad like burnt oil.

can i tell if it's ringlands without pulling the head?

won't have time to do that until at least 2 weeks, i'm only home for today and saturday.

Re:well possibly blew the zc..............MEGA GAY!!

Hey, I'll buy it if you don't want it anymore ;D

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

what rpm were u shifting? sounded low..?

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

ya since i haven't widebanded it, which was going to get done the next day.....how i--------ronic, i shifted around 4500. i'm thinking that maybe the cold weather might have affected it. i put like 800 miles or so on it like it was without "serious" problems.

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

sounded slow

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

see that's one of the things i've been wondering. i never thought that it was quite as fast as it should be. my first and only time at the track i ran a 17.01 with the 17" wheels and a stock ls ecu. after i chipped it with the p29 zc program it felt a lot better but probably not a second better. i never tuned it after the turbo nor got it to the track again so i have no idea where its at. that's why i'm not sure if i want to keep it or not.

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

even untuned i rip my ---- to 8k boosting 9psi... i haven't taken it to the quarter yet but on the 1/8th tracks around here i pull some 8.8 - 9.0. fix ur car and post pics of the damages

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

am i missing something? was this thing boosted?

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

it cant be boosted my dx n/a will out run it, but then again i think id out run kyles ---- also

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

project teg: ya man, i turboed it this spring and ran it through the summer. oil line cracked in september and fixed it in november. blew it in january.

i've never been in a turboed car before so i'm really not sure how fast it should feel. i thought it was quick and would have hopefully outrun an n/a dx. ---- that would suck....

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

na dude, your car had/has issues if you were running 17's in the quarter mile and actually trying :-\

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

hey that kind sounds like my car huh kev??? hey what does your setup consist off man....

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

it ran a 17.01 when it was n/a on the ls ecu w/ 17" wheels and stock blown suspension. i never ran it at the track with suspension/15" wheels/turbo so i'm not sure how fast it was.

it felt pretty fast considering i was only taking it up to 4500 and the power band didn't really pic up till then n/a.

in first gear it would break loose around 5000 rpm w/ the 17's" which it never did before so i don't know.

this is why i'm not sure what to do with it. i haven't even pulled it apart yet but if it is the ringlands that means gettin pistons and why not rods while i'm at it. if the engine was gay all along, why not just start another d project? that means i waste this one though which sucks.

Re:possibly blew the zc.....MEGA GAY!! (UPDATE: pic and video)
 

damn that sucks. Pull the thing apart and get pics. I'm afraid of doing pulls in this cold weather too even though i'm tuned fairly rich.
