i kinda knew it as soon as i realized i blew the motor. I starved it of oil. I drove it pretty hard tru out the week, and at the end of that week i raced somone. car was running fine and all, then i get off the exit, and the motors shaking like crazy, vac is like 9, and i was like F$#% its blown. I pull over and inspect the motor, go to check the oil and the dipstick is almost dry. 
ya a REAL stupid reason to blow a motor....
93 BLACK FD- how did you motor blow like this? did you starve it oil as well or was it from somthing else.
My plans are to get a haltech( done with piggy backs) full t4, and brigdeport. As of right now im going with S5 irons, still dunno which though, NA or T2, and S5 high comp Rotors.
My mods are listed under my sig

Let me do your bridgeporting and your motor; I can help you with the Haltech setup as well and getting a map done for the motor. It's right up my alley.

my advice if it counts,stay away from the bridgeport,unless you have a major engine budget.life is generally shorter on a bridge.as far as making power a well know steet port works very well.(its the turbo that makes the power)

well with dumping all the money he already has in his car i don't think he's worried about the engine life (with the right setup bridges will be perfectly reliable)...and turbos do make power, but ports are what make them flow efficiently....

Very conservative
Slightly more radical yet still unobtrusive and reliable

i would really want to see the dyyno chart with exact same portign minus teh bridge and all the same turbo hardware and all same boost. i just dont think its realyl worth bridgeporting unless u really do a large bridgeport. i tend to belive that when bridgeportign your main goal is to make that bridgeport the main concern of flow or atleast givign it great attention of the way teh air will flow.
i think goign all the way in up to teh water seal and nothing the rotor housing is the best for the flow without really affecting the reliability. but leaveng the bridge itself somewhat thick and not put so much overlap on the original (streetport) part of the port.

actually no, i didn't starve it of oil, oil cooling, or oil flow, i had the motor optimized for maximum oiling effeciency (dual coolers, -10 lines, stage 3 oil mods from pineapple, etc)
it just failed....and pineapple concluded it wasn't their fault
sucks eh? at least you know what killed your motor
