These were Hiflow cat by (prestige exhaust malaga) cheap china monza, 12lb actuator, walbro and 60pound injectors this combo too me to 342rwkw and good for 11.8 at 119mph.since the power upgrade its a reall easy street car to handle but the mod bug sure had bitten me.. )blew the turbo in july, from the oil feed line and filter blocking up. so replaced it with another stocker.. was running perfect till 2 weeks ago then was driving at hi rpm and then never ran rite after that.. saw some coolant leaking out of the head...also have a sh*t load of blow by in the cooler pipeing ect so maby piston or ring damage but also could be valve train. So did a compression test and got (psi) 150 155 110 145 175 170 was kina dumb like wow.. so looked at everyting and wasnt sure... so asked my old man and we put normal engine oil in NO# 3 cylinder and re did the compression and it came up 135 so there you go something fuked under there.. Pulled head off to find sh*t headgasket and broken chips off number 3 piston and most rings worn..this leads to one thing. bottom end out.. FUNPulled out motor and striped it down to bare blockam looking at getting it machined and the head machined too then rebuild timeParts I am looking at areMOTORSpool rods or cheap h beam ones.forged pistonsnew main bearings new rod bearingsnew main bolts and head studsatomic oil pump machining crankrace valve springs high temp rear mainrace girdlenew gaskets ect..are there anying im missing..

Posted 04/01/11 11:12 PM Share Posted 04/01/11 11:12 PM imo spend money on better motor parts first before going big turbo.turbo can always be done down the track, redoing motor all the time would be hassle.also might be worth looking at the GTX35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the plates Agree though on getting better parts for a more solid base. Not good to see the word "cheap" in there after you've blown an engine already! Unless you get the part free but even then it's not worth the hassle I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
