found out my motor has ZERO compression today. Probably a stuck valve.

Update 4/9/16: Built motor likely coming soon.

 

Well, since I couldn't qualify for a loan and it was a rebuilt title on the lotus I was looking at, we'll be building a motor. I'll go through and update the thread when I have a bit more time.

 

figure out what you are going to do for a spare car at all yet? Or how long the motor will take to build?

 

It turns out that the motor build will take into June, and I'll be sharing a car with my grandparents. Since I don't have too many obligations, they have agreed to drop me off and pick me up at work for the one week they're in town before then.

 

Should get a MS3 for reliability...giggle.

 

Car as it sat before getting the Equal length Header

Superchargers side by side: Left 335 kit (1.46L) Right 210 kit (.94L)

Supercharger (1.46L model) mounted with 80mm pulley, never fired

Supercharger that blew the original motor, ran 12.878@110 on All season tires

 

Sweet build!

Also, I recognize the car sitting at Touge lol

 

This build may have just been totaled, financing on the new block did not get approved. May be taking a bath on the car.

 

Damn dude, that sucks. Just going to try and sell at a loss or what? can you find a used oem motor for cheap?

 

I can try to find an oem motor but it'll just be broken again- the oem block can't handle 400 RWHP for almost any length of time. Transmissions start going around 350 WTQ.

 

I mean to demod it and just work on paying off the car before you start going at it again. At least then you will have a running car and not take a complete bath on this one.

 

If you simply lost compression, can try el cheapo route and just put in pistons and go, if damage is not severe. Copart.com is also a place to go too. We ended up with our first credit card in years a while ago at Gander Mountain. So we have that to use for emergencies if needed. I know you have big dreams, but I recommend weighing all options before taking a big loss.

I wonder if you can get a little compression with that shit at the auto parts store. Enough to say, drive it to a dealer and trade in. Because yeah.

 

They told me that the failure is catastrophic broken piston more than likely

 

Well, instead of speculating any further we're going to see what is going to happen. I'll know Wednesday night about what's going to happen, moving forward.

 

Broken piston is a bummer

 

That's what happens when you don't measure your E

Stupid question: If I have a hole that is tapped for a boost guage, and I just plug it, will it cause any problems? Generally speaking of course.

 

nope, as long as it does not leak.

 

Might be safer to just get a boost gauge

 

old best, on what was likely 3 cylinders.
