My S-pipe works just fine Sucks about the tuning though. I dont think ive heard of an engine having 5 different holes.....thats just nutz

 

Dang, sorry to hear man.

 

yeah its a shytty thing but i will be back on top here soon i have decided to build everything from the ground up and pretty much turn it into a drag/street legal race car...and i plan on converting it to AWD, which i have found some research on....not letting the secret get out yet, and after all is said and done with total block and head reconstruction and tranny upgrades, along with suspension, clutch, and all internals....were talking about 25-30 PSI on a T3/T4 so all in all about 600-700 whp....alot of money but we'll see what happens...good thing i got World Racing Inc. (Chris Rado's Team) on my side!! i will update everyone once this happens.

 

dam bro that really sux alot man i have the dezod kit as well. good luck with ur new build up. i just dont understand how that happened it was just a bad tune did u not have gauges to monitor anything to see if anything was gonna happen before it did?

 

yeah i had everything set up i have a megan racing boost gauge and right b4 it blew it was only reading 5 PSI which is what the spring in the wastegate was pre-set with and i was looking right at the gauge right when it blew and it was holding steady at 5 so it really boggled my mind untill i called Chris Rado's engine man and he said it was faulty tuning and so did my engine builder...so i was pretty much screwed from there on out...but thanks for the sympathy..going on a month w/o my TC i miss it

 

tell me about it i love my dezod kit but i dont have time to really enjoy it all these samll things keep setting me back first it won pass inspection cause my check engine light is on then i have a leak that has gone back 2 wice 2morrow will be the 3rd for a oil leak at the punch cite of the pan and my custom dump tube that ripp made me is pointed straight at my ac pump which is deff a no no soo im trying to get that customized before i do damage and now my AF is reading 10.0 at wot when it was reading 11.1 the other day. it has been in and out of the shop hopfully this will be all done with by this week.

 

lol jeez bro

 

Oooof! Words cannot express how much that sucks.

 

Has there been a big weather temperature difference within these 2 days?

 

thats what i was thinking and yes the temperature is considerably dropping i think.

 

i have the same thing like you , i have the greddy turbo kit on my car and it blow in just 1 day after it put on . and the engine have couple holes like your engine . now i looking for the new engine

 

You can tell your running REALLY hot EGTs by the look of your manifold and downpipe. It should be golden bronze colored, not brown. Best of luck to you sir!

I hope this portray's what Joe and I have been speaking about with tuning be one of the most important aspects of a turbo system.

 

NYS inspection is almost as bad as CA. So not sure what you can do there other than toss a cat one and pray you pass.

Secondly, weather can greatly effect boost levels and AFRs. So be aware fellas. Boost spikes are more common on those cold days.

 

Holy snap son!

Running rich did this? Hmmm...I run 10.0 all day every day beating the ____ out of the car...

 

I don't recall seeing a motor blow from being rich.... Very puzzling.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but temperature drop should make it leaner, not richer.

 

/\/\ that would be correct.

Colder air is more dense. More oxygen molecules in a given space with the same dose of fuel as before. More fuel+oxygen atomize, burn, leaving less oxygen after combustion. Ratio of oxygen to fuel is greater before and after combustion in this case in realtion to the same ration of fuel in a hotter more expansive concentration of air.

 

i dono wtf u just said but ok cool

 

I'm with you 318...Damn Math equations!

 

Someone give me some butter cuz i'm on a roll!
