[traitorhound]

shitty

[FunkyBuddha]

damn! how?

[MIA protege]

slipping tranny + 17psi + over rev + stupid driver = boom

[Drackonn]

ouch ... good luck with that man ... hope everything gets fixed soon ...

[MIA protege]

already fixed ... car is running strong with a built tranny and new motor

[Witchdoktor]

didn't I tell you that gang banging drive by shooting shit leads to no good

[Hughes412]

My question would be, WHERE DID THEY GO? Because they aren't inside the block no more.

[JCell]

that's normal for proteges, nuthin to worry about

[MIA protege]

well ... blew it up again. this fuckin motor sucks

[evilmonkeyMSP]

you blew your new one?



well ... blew it up again. this fuckin motor sucks

[evilmonkeyMSP]

since yesterday?

[Matthew]

wtf!

[RyanJayG]

those are ventilation holes... so the engine can cool better....


honestly, this sucks though dude... are there any forged rods and pistons for those engines?

[MIA protege]

you blew your new one?

yes since yesterday ... was babying it and the first time i decided to step on it. boom, white smoke and car turns off and im just rolling

[MIA protege]

wtf!

my thoughts exactly

[Matthew]

not to be a dick, but arent you supposed to break it in for like 500+ miles

[evilmonkeyMSP]

that sucks

[MIA protege]

not to be a dick, but arent you supposed to break it in for like 500+ miles

wasent a brand new motor ... had miles on it

[Matthew]

jesus christ...AFRs or what?

[MIA protege]

jesus christ...AFRs or what?

wish i knew ...

[MIA protege]

im dieing to sell this car but i wont get shit for it. and its payed off for, so would be dumb to get another car and start that payment bullshit again

[evilmonkeyMSP]

put a regular motor in it & get something better

[Matthew]

sometimes you gotta give up. thats what i did with my car. no one could figure out the problems, so it was finally just like, ok ive exhausted my options, time to find a new car. i didnt care that my insurance went up or my payment went up, i just wanted a car i wasnt constantly worried about.

this time ive gone with a car and did things the way i should have the first time. like no damn shit that i have to worry about scraping every time...springs for performance instead of looks, etc.

part the car out and buy something new, if you can afford it. because its too hard to just go back to NA or whatever, i knew i woulndt be able to do it.

[MIA protege]

cant go back to NA ... the only problem selling this shit is, i just dropped 3500 on it for this motor and tranny build. tranny is holding nicely but this damn motor keeps giving me problems. and this is the motor thats supposed to hold mroe boost than the 2.0. unless my gauge is reading wrong, 10-11psi should not pop this motor

[Matthew]

you dont knwo what youre AFRs are?

[MIA protege]

i dont have a wideband but from what my gauge reads, i run rich at idle and stoich at wot

[Matthew]

yea but that is useless...you could be so far lean its unreal. damn man, you shouldnt be trying that crap without a w/b :(

[MIA protege]

imma have to invest in one ... just hard to pay 200 for a gauge

[Matthew]

yea...

[Protege2K]

imma have to invest in one ... just hard to pay 200 for a gauge
It' easier then paying thousands for a motor.

[Matthew]

twice.

[terbow]

stoich on wot @ 8+ psi boost? yea that is way lean. u should be at 12.5max or rich as the narrowband would say. stoich under boost is ~14.7afr ish. that will blow ur motor real quick.

i take it u dont have ems? do u know what ur timing is at also at wot and in boost.


good luck, looks like theres alot of reasons the motor keeps blowin.

[Drackonn]

oh wtf, i dont check here much anymore since i dont work on the car anymore ... but damn dude thats bad luck, it should all work out in the end though.


good luck and keep us posted.

[nvmsp]

something has to be wrong here, your motor shouldn't just pop like that.

[Shane5425]

he has Haltech, thats what makes me wonder is it not tuned right and blew it??

[MIA protege]

sounded like detonation .... i need to ge it retuned

[Protege2K]

Were you still using the original maps Juan programmed for the lower boost level?

[otmsp]

It' easier then paying thousands for a motor.
damm skippy.

[Witchdoktor]

unfuckingbelieveable.

[DiS]

bleh man, that sux ass. Shit, if I would end up in that situation, I would be totally screwed as being a student and car modder at the same time = abnoxiously broke.

I just hope that you will take car of this asap. Gewd luck dude.

[MIA protege]

Were you still using the original maps Juan programmed for the lower boost level?

for the 6-9psi , yea ... didnt get around to retuning it yet.

[Shane5425]

id say thats why it blew then...

[nvmsp]

what turbo is on your car?

[Shane5425]

ihi vf24 if i recall right.

[nvmsp]

Would the stock ecu have been better for this amount of boost? maybe just add a Bigger fuel pump.

[Shane5425]

no the stock ecu wont do shit for fuel and boost .. the haltech he has just needs to be retuned thats it. the haltech came with bigger injectors.

[nvmsp]

so it blew with all that shit?

[Shane5425]

yeah, prolly running lean near engine redline.. boom...

[MIA protege]

detonated ... 17psi requires race fuel ...

[DiS]

detonated ... 17psi requires race fuel ...
Kooldino is at 17psi and premium fuel is fine

[Protege2K]

So what psi did you blow this motor at? You said 10-11 earlier in the thread but now it looks like you are implying you were at 17psi.

[Shane5425]

who knows with danny?? prolly had it cranked up to 20 psi..

[Protege2K]

If he was running 17psi on the lower boost map then I don't feel a bit sorry for him. You should know better then that.

[Captain KRM P5]

Kooldino is at 17psi and premium fuel is fine

totally different setups though, much different displacement

[MIA protege]

If he was running 17psi on the lower boost map then I don't feel a bit sorry for him. You should know better then that.

im not asking u to feel sorry for me .... i should know better than that and i did know better than that but i was still stupid enough to turn the damn knob.

[vindication]

damn dude. just saw this thread. sux to be you right now huh. time to do it right this time or just get a motor from a junk protege and just sell the car

[MIA protege]

i was a fool ... i learned the hard way. need to turn the damn boost down on the knob for i wont have control over it ... this shit is more addicting than crack. its killing me

[NegatiZE]

MIA, I'll sell you my old engine/tranny for cheap. It's just sitting here.

[Shane5425]

damn, u still have that?

[peepsalot]

speed holes

[NegatiZE]

damn, u still have that?

yes

[MIA protege]

how many miles neg ?

[NegatiZE]

91416 the day I took it out of the car.
