Planned to go single this weekend, so I got started sunday night. Pulled the stock turbine's off and was getting ready to replace the stock LIM gasket with a new metal one. While I was down there, I stuck my finger inside the rear rotor exhaust port. To my dismay, I felt gouges along the rotor housing I guess I was right all along...my engine HAS been blown for the last six months...

lol...I've been planning to rebuild an engine since I bought the car, so I started slowly stockpiling parts. Now I may have the final pieces to get a rebuild together. I'll be busy porting for the next two weeks it looks like....



...and to think, I lost to Rutt's Honda with a blown engine...barely

So looks like you are into it for at least a rotor and most likely a housing.. I can't believe you couldn't notice it. You Rikki!! Ha haha ha



Goodluck with the rebuild Van.

I noticed it, but I thought it was because my blown turbine's....which is the MAIN reason why I went single. I'm going 62-1 a/r .70 with a p trim 1.0 exhaust....I'm ALMOST done...
