Damn youve only had that peice of machinery for 3 weeks and it looks like that?

Clean *** DA.

Just read the last couple of posts. Damn that sucks. Didnt even have time to enjoy it.

 

I feel slightly aroused

 

for people that wanted to see the exhaust

 

is your exaust straight piped all the way back? and how much did it run you?

 

hey tk how much did ur whole setup cost, estimate how much the parts u fabbed up, wicked ride dude loved ur EF too

 

what lip is that?

 

That is ******* beautiful! Your DA is so motivating to me, that I don't want to buy an S2000 any more and continue to build my DA.

What kind of radiator is that and how did you get it to sit really nicely ?

Knowing him, probably half what you or anyone else would have to invest to get the same thing.

 

When are we going to get pics of the damage?

So true.

 

man that car is awesome

 

damage time!!!!!!






someone ate my pistons






when i got this car it had the NA setup on a base map.. let me say and LEAN base map.. it killed the motor... but when i added boost thats when it just fell apart.. was nothing from my tune.. ours was dialed.. the motor was just beat from that base map

 

thanks to ricky for a nice pic after it blew up.. nothing beats pushing the car down the block for that one

 

so what happened? the motor was obviously chewing on something, but where did it come from? Is that just broken bits of the piston, or did something else get into the combustion chamber?

 

broken chunks of piston..

man, that thing had been detonating forever by the looks of it. wow...

really weird.

 

it kind of looks like the pistons are pretty far out of the hole, and the head doesnt have much quench clearance. It is possible the pistons have been hitting the head, which would work harden the aluminum and eventually cause it to start breaking. Just a thought, but maybe something to check on before putting it back together.

 

if the clearances were off the VALVES would have been hitting the pistons....

 

that is not always the case. I had a motor I assembled that had fine piston/valve clearances, but you could literally feel the pistons hitting the head when it was just turned over by hand.

 

so whats the plan?
