Blown Engine!!!
right on i hope i dsnt get get too much above 1500. ive been doing some shopping around and found some good parts but i really dont know what all i need to get since we dont know what all broke yet
and just cuz u found the rod on the ground doesnt mean the block is messed up it could have went through the 2nd oil pan .....u should have been more than safe with 9psi i was pushin 14psi with stock internals on my first build ...i wish u didnt live so far cuz i have 2 motors sittin in the garage right now and my fully built motor sittin in my room...im sponsored by jotech motorsports and in doin the 700hp nitto build so i will be the first one pushing over 700hp street car im almost done just need a few more things ....but i would help if i could but i live in florida so im half way across the u.s
just make sure when u do rebuild it its done right and and get a good tune out of it becuz i can push a little over 400whp off the stock block with the emanage ultimate with the zpi stage 1 kit at 12psi i made 320whp on my first build and ran 12.53 in the 1/4 then bumped it to 14psi but just to be safe keep it at around 12psi cuz i blew my motor the first time but that was cuz i had a bad manual boost controller and it over boosted me to 45psi so i bent a rod slaped the piston took a chip out of the lower taper on the sleeve and took out 2 valves and split the piston lands right down the center so i kno how it feels lol but i also build performance car for a living ...but good luck with that
ya i cant wait to see what all went wrong, not! ya i will pm you or something when we find out what went wrong, cuz it sounds like you could help me to not do that agian and maybe ill create a monster, but well see how much all the stuff runs me

watching - BTW I have been running 12-14 psi for the last 14 months (and 8-10 psi for the previous 14 months) with no problems so I'm REALLY interested in what went wrong. Keep us posted....
Also what engine management are you using?

ya idk why it blew, i am useing AEM. but o well, this guy i know is selling me an engine for 500... yes a complete steal
!! i just dont know how the hell im going to pick it up and get it to the shop but well see. i have no idea why it blew on 9psi unless something went totally wrong when we tuned it again, maybe we messed up with the afr but i dont think that it wuda blew. but i am prob going to get performance rods and what not so i dont blow agian but we will see.
before you by this engine find out what year it is the 07 and newer engines have oil jets to cool the lower part of the piston that makes it perfect for a boosted app.
so i think its an 06 but he sold one but idk which one he sold, so i will call him tonite and find out for sure. but i dont think that it would be too much of a problem if it was an 06 but who knows
