Took the car out friday just to drive it around the block I try to do this every two weeks just to keep everything from sitting. I take off from a stop light car just stalled when I go turn it over it won't start, try again this time with apply gas it started but sounded like a wrx . so I went home pulled the plugs, checked all my vac lines, piping and couplers and everything seems tight. I also put my coil packs and plugs into another tc and it ran fine so now I'm stuck car has less then 1500 miles. I will do a boost leak test some time this week and see if anything shows.

heres what the car sounds like now

here are some pics of the spark plugs.

 

all 4 look the same, and i know the engine sounds loud like its tapping but ever since i put 10w-50 on cold start it sounds like that.

 

Is ur check engine light on? It could be misfiring. Need a little more info was ur motor just built or is it stock?

more info please.

such as

check engine light?
what codes?
what managment?
vac at idle?
and just for my curiousity what does your compression look like?

 

Vacuum I can't really read cause idle is rough so its all over and my a/f was in the 10s so i didnt want to keep the car running. I also cant give u codes I have a Haltech standalone as far as a comp test I will be going to autozone to rent a gauge out. Also the car has a fully built longblock

 

in for compression results

 

this^^

sounds like its missing..

 

Yea its does just hop its not a dead cylinder I will post results later on a compression test

 

Also the car has no 02 sensors and that Maf sensor is not being used. The Haltech does not use these

 

ok blown motor 160,160,160,0 that me cranking its 6 times

 

and i calculated the miles I'm still under 1000 miles

 

May still be salvageable just need a good hone, new piston and rings. Rod too depending on damage.

Cant seem to put together on what happened on somebody with a built motor with less than 1000 on the build. Try to find out what caused it.

Who put it together? What time of fuel did you use? Was it assembled correctly?
All of these plus more are factors that come into play.

 

me we shall see soon but motor was built by erl manly turbo tuff rods and cp pistons i am starting to thing it was the tune or just bad injector. cause all the rest were fine and that was 5 cranks i got 160 and i let it crank for a while it went past 180 like 8 cranks

 

and mike from boost works put it to whether for me which i think he did a excellent job.

 

sorry to hear...Id like to see the pics of the pistons.

 

Thats what it sounded like. Either melted or broke a hole in that piston. Just out of curiosity, how much power were u makin? What psi? What did your timing look like? Fuel? Pistons?

 

Car made 524whp 24 psi on e85. And went back and bumped it up to 27 no Clue how much power and timing just that my a/f were at 12:2 at wot

 

Might just part it out

 

what is your a/f reading when your car is at idle?
