Re: (Boosted96EK)
you melted and since it's on the intake side you also had some nice detonation 
. You could have lasted longer, but oh well at least you aren't upset like a lot of people become. What are you plans for the new engine? Can you resuse the old block?

nice pistons 
uch:
out of curiousity was your engine still running even with the pistons in that condition or did it die completely? earl recived my B18C block yesterday and he got a chance to take the pistons out. He said that the pistons came out in pieces. I thought to me self "sweet!", hehehe.

Dont think tuning was a concern at that point. He did say the cars already over at full race, and we all know what that means, another street monster waiting to be unleased.

I don't see why people intentionally blow their motor's up. I understand you wanted to do a rebuild, but why not just rebuild the damn thing, instead of risking ruining everything in the motor, possibly the turbo as well. Just doesn't make to much sense.
But good luck on the rebuild. You will now have a crazy street car. Boost is fun.
That 4th pic is definitley a bad thing.

Re: (mildly.interesting)
wow and I thought my 3rd cylinder looked bad once I plucked out all the ringland chunks:
^^^ poor piston was the victim of the AFC hack, but you've got me beat!

I kept trying to blow my y8, but it never did.
D16y8 pistons/rods: $50.
D16y8 block: $100.
No major loss for us SOHC guys when we blow **** up
