Well the day has finally come I think. I was driving home when I spotted a nissan Z with some rims and lowered. So I was like what the hell let me pick on this Z and see what its got. So we race from a 40mph roll and I slowly pull away from him all the way to about 125mph then I shut off. We then pull up to a light and he wants to go again from a dig so we take off and right when I go to shift into second I noticed my car starts reving all weird and all my emergency lights turn on and the car shut off and I just coasted off the road to figure out what happened. I didnt notice any smoke or and weird sounds so I go to start my car and it turns on but it idles extremely bad. It kept bouncing from 1krpms to 0rpms and the whole car was shaking. So I turned her off and called AAA to tow her. This really sucks cause I just got my car back after getting the tranny replaced now my motor is possibly gone too. And the thing that sucks is I took my boost controller off so I was at stock boost. Also I wont even be able to have my car looked at till monday cause im going to spring break nationals in daytona on friday. Well I guess wish me luck!

Yeah, good luck seriously, it's possible you blew off a boost tube of something like that and just caused a seirious vacuum leak. When my BPV blew itself to pieces(POS), it did something about like that. Check it out, maybe it'll be easier to fix that you might think. Again, good luck:-)

If there is no sign of oil and your starts without any crazy sounds I don't think you blew your motor. My guess is one of your hardpipes got disconnected.

Yep, I bet it's your IC pipe. When my exhaust fell in half at a redlight as soon as I pulled away the car was shuddering, bucking and acting all kind of fucked up :) I thought for sure the motor was toast but it turns out the bottom IC pipe came off and it was causing more trouble than the exhuast breaking.
And believe me when I say I have POUNDED the shit out of my car to the point of audible detonation in the first three gears for 1000's of miles now with just a stock car so odds are you did not blow it. I was asking myself the same questions you were, Why is there no oil?, Why are the other fluid levels ok? No abnormal temps? etc. No parts laying around... Of course you could have blown a ring like Discreet but he was pushing 18PSI with toulene (sp?) for over a year.

I got towed home one night, only to discover the silicon connector came off of the intercooler. It pays to check the clamps monthly. Hopefully that is all it is and you can't help but think the worst when that happens. Good luck to you!

Good luck...I remember we were talking when you're transmission was getting fixed not too long ago.

Thanks guys! Yea I looked under my car and was looking for any signs of oil, smoke, something and didnt notice anything so hopefully it is just a IC pipe or some kind of leak. I was trying to check for that actually last night but unfortunately I didnt have a flash light with me so im gonna check it out when I get back from daytona on saturday. It could very well of blown off cause I was running the car hard as hell last night. I just always expect the worst out of things so hopefully everything will be ok.

I'd bet good money it's a hardpipe that came loose. That's exactly what happened to my car...took my 5 min. to fix.

Doubt it. Mikey doesnt screw around when it comes to his car. He wouldnt be able to stand the trauma. But yea mike, i dont think you blew her. Sounds like IC piiping.
