I found out that the person who rebuilt the motor before I bought it did a **** job on it. Probably the reason the guy was selling it... My motor was never right to begin with. Luckily I'm getting a practically new motor with hurley seals, a monster street port, and the non-sequential conversion. Going to have him throw in some upgraded injectors as well. I went for a ride in the shop car and it was very impressive. The car ran very smooth and it accelerated like a bat out of hell. It's too bad I had to spend the money, but I'm excited about how my motor will run when it's done.



Oh well, at least I beat my friend's 430whp Supra before it blew. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png

damn that really sux sorry to hear that but good luck with the new mod's

did you have a chance to call jr? I guess you did a compression check?



If that' the case sorry to hear it, since your into computers and such I recommend you get some type of aftermarket ecu and learn how to work the software thoroughly. There are a lot of tricks to tuning to save yourself an engine in the presence of a boost spike or running hot, that the stock ecu would freak out and do nothing.



For instance jims 30 psi spike and the engine lasted another 6 months before jim decided to rebuild it, or my wastgate that hasn't worked right since I installed my turbo, but I haven't blown my motor because I'm tuned for a lot higher boost than what my boost controller is set at.



if your wanting to go big power reliably an ecu is a must.

Yea I know... I had the Pettit ECU and my car was just about as close to stock boost as possible. The car itself wasn't rebuilt correctly when I bought it, which helps explain the over heating problem even though I have the Fluidyne, excessive smoking, etc. Oh well, when I get it back it'll be running much nicer and much faster.

That sucks, same thing happened to me penis last week.

Sorry to hear that, something didn't sound right on that motor to me, but I'd never mention it cause i don't wanna jinx lol

I knew something wasn't right... I was just hoping it would last longer than it did.

at least you can still see the positive. good luck with the new motor man.

hmm what better way to break in a motor than a trip up north...plenty of rotorheads along the way too.
