Ouch! Das no bueno

 

i get the blinking cel when i am spinning and the car is hitting my rev limiter to but my is set to 8k

 

lol i wish the flashing light was my only issue right now. gonna pull the pan later today sometime

 

sounds like #4 detonated. If you drove a Subaru Id say that was normal. The rings will hold up better than the piston, so figure at minimum a new piston, ring set for all 4, and machine work. My guess is that injector had dirt in it. I can tell you also, that when you run a lot of boost on the tC motor with stock intake manifold... cylinders 1 and 4 need more fuel and a tad less timing. This is also why it is a good choice to run a standalone with that capability(individual cylinder fueling and timing).

Send your injectors out to get flow tested , label them. If #4 injector checks out, it was the tune.

 

thanks justin for your input. i was def planning on sending my injectors out to get tested. i never knew the thing about timing as far as running stock intake manifold. and im also planning on goin standalone next year if i dont go with the ultimate. maybe i will bring the car back to va for you guys to tune it.

 

Updates? Is there #4 piston in your oil pan?

But seriously, I'd like to know the problem. I think it may be in the head, but I'm by no means educated on how engines work. Just my (non) educated guess.

 

if it's the head i would say he floated a valve and bent the ____ out of it.

 

Thats what happened to marcelos car when he had it the valve was sooo messed up

Well... I did this same thing one on my first honda b16a block back in the day (I know it's not a scion!). I ended up having a burnt valve. The head job was to blame, bad seal it didn't seat right leaked oil made hot spots. Would also misfire read lean and sputter. I pulled the plug and it was also dirty looked oily. I bought a new head went with another machine shop runs great to this day. I sure hope its a valve at the worst and not anything bigger.

I hope I never have to take the head off my scion unless it's for a full build. Not fun!

 

^^ This is what happened to my cylinder head about a month ago. we couldnt figure out what the hell was wrong with the car. checked everything...narrowed it down to being the head and till we open up the head. bad head job = bent valve, messed up lobe on the cams, misfired, sputtered, etc. heres my post about it... https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=205873

I bought a head from a guy on here to get Dezod PnP it, but never received it. Bought another head from another guy and hopefully this time Im not getting scammed. Bad things always happens to me.

 

weeeel i understand you guys stories but ive made quite afew pulls on this setup and never had any issuses. jus so happened that this one night i decied to go take her out and bam this happens. im hoping that it donct cost me a bunch of money cuz i was in the process of buying a new camera. pulling the engine next week i jus didnt feel like messin with it this weekend.

 

Good luck and take some pics brethren.

 

will do man. honestly i hope its in the head as well lol cuz i dont feel like building my bottom end again. as of now i wont be touching the car until next weekend.

 

This...

 

im gonna send the injectors to some place that thendawg referred me to. so are you guys saying that i may only need to get 1 piston and rings for all 4 of them depending on how everything looks?

 

Screen shot of your timing map..

 

^^ I'm 99% sure thendawg tuned it, you can probably get it from him.

 

might as well replace them all plus man i wouldn't plan on it being just a messed up piston you need to drop the pan if there is no debris in the pan it's going to more then likely be your valves. you could also pull your manifold off really quick to check the exhaust valves.

 

also you could just replace one set of rings 1 piston and 1 rod but you would have 1 piston that is larger because the current size piston you have wont sit properly in that cylinder after you get it machined back to round.

 

im trying to pull up my timing map but i can never figure out how to connect to my fic without opening up another file from my computer and thendawg has my current map saved on his laptop. wanna chime in on how to connect this thing?
