Oh boy..
 

I did it tonight..I blew my motor...

Finally finished mounting the bottle and installing the heater, was all excited ect, so I went and got the bottle filled..warmed up the bottle ect..

Tradition before leaving the shop where I fill up - burnout.

I left off a NICE burnout (even on my peg leg) ..hit the button, no problems.. about 2 miles down the road, I hit the highway..about ..1 1/4 after that.. my RPMs drop to 2 grand

I'm doing 80... i hit the gas, nothing. My steering wheel locks up, breaks lock up, and I coast over the the side of the hwy. My car currently sounds like I have a NASTY cam in it, along with an exhaust leak...

My buddy (who is also my mechanic) says it sounds like I broke a piston..

So out comes the money. I'll be keeping the v6. But forged internals are going in, stronger pistons, H beam rods, the works as far as i can go internal wise and staying within means of smog..

Oh, and cross drilled/slotted rototrs new pads, and the gears/posi, cause if I'm spending a few grand - I may as well go right this time..

That sucks dude, buy at least you'll never do it again after forging the internals.

and that is why i will never go nitrous. :D

jeez...thats rough.

OH please.

How many miles were on the motor?

oops. i've been there man..

good luck with the rebuild. throw some awesome shit in there.

Because it'll pick out your weak spots? Lmfao alright. Then don't go FI at all, and definately don't mod you car - because the same shit will happen.


My motor didn't blow while I was using the nitrous, the nitrous may not have helped anything - but yea.

I had 80 someodd thousand miles on the car.

haha you n20 fanboys crack me up. if you spray, you run a serious risk. much more so than just about any other mod you can do.

I understand the risks, but risks come with everything you do to a car. Especially FI.


Wheres the facts fishy?

I never said anything to disagree with what you just said. you just agreed with me..

Ya, I like nitrous, but to me the risk runs the same with a turbo or a s/c. I've seen those go wrong also. Hell badfish, didn't something go wrong with the evo? :)

Anyways, just got an email from SuperSixMotorsports - 4.3L stroker kit - I think thats what will be going in.

yeah. thats why I'm keeping my tacoma stock, lol.

Lol. Screw it. I'll plop a 4.3 in and spray the piss out of it til it blows too. *shrugs*

Eh, yeah i'm out of it today. I meant to state that nitrous is just as risky as any other FI mod.

LIAR! you know yur going to put ricer clear tail lamps on it and put N0S stickers all over it like good little evo driving ricer boy... ha.

So are you going to open it up to a 4.3? I'd love to see the numbers for that thing on nitrous.

Get em tiger :D

Yea I think I'm going to have SSM line me up a 4.3 Stroker kit along with a cam to run with the nitrous.

Hes saying 25HP gain just from the stroker

Port and Polished stuff can come later, as wel as heads.

I said the same thing when i saw that. haha fuck the nay sayers!

BTW: Popping your motor = AWESOME

idk bout going that far lol

I've done it. Awesome as far as stories to tell goes. Not awesome as far as your wallet goes. lol

Would have been cooler/more expensive if he blew the intake manifold while his was juicing it.

thats why ive decided not to go Nitrous anymore, im just gonna go turbo

my bro and i are gonna put nitrous on the saturn i gave him lol. We just want to try it out and see if we like it so thats what we are gonna do! If we f up that car its not big deal lol.

so you are breaking in your 4.2 eh? awesome how does it feel?

its a 3.9L :o and it feels good and louder but i wont acutally know about the power until my break in is done :smokin:

Sorry to hear about the 3.8 going out, but new plans sound good.

Turbo - sure, something that everyone else and their grandma says.

Over hearing about it.

My plan is fairly set - as long as my cash will keep up.

4.3 Stroker Kit (including new crank) valve job with it, Comp Cam 212/218

Sit on the dyno.

And after my wallet recovers from the 5+ thousand dollars I'll do the heads.

OH and by the way - ya nitrous does this.

But then again, my buddy in his new vortech'd 4.0 (06) blew his motor a few months ago.

So it happens with every sort of forced induction, it WILL find your weak spots. And then CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK "what the fuck" and calling a tow truck on the side of the highway :)

Spikes car has lasted awhile on the spray.
