i have a zex dry setup on my gsr i was using it and it made a loud pop now my car sounds like **** and it didnt want to stay on i havent taken it apart yet to check it because i have another car in garage.what could have happened ??? i took my spark plugs out one of them was black i think the block is done ?? any suggestions???

 

how many shot? built motor?

 

it was a 55shot h,i,e,manifold it sounds like a wrx

 

could be a blown headgasket.

 

did a check engine light come on? if the CEl came on check the code

 

no check engine nothing my motor viberates like crazy and its has a knockin noise

 

do a compression test, probably detonated and cracked a ringland. Or just straight melted them because a dry kit is the worst **** you can do to a honda. Stock honda injectors are maxxed out as it is from the factory, now you have bolt ons, and a dry kit. How the hell is the ECU going to add more fuel to compensate for nitrous? It cant, sorry for the rant, but this is why everyone on honda-tech says " 55 shots of naawzz will implode ur engine"
PROPER SETUPS, KNOWLESGE, and TUNING are your freinds.

 

thanks for the input ima take the head and do ls\vtec

 

make sure you dont rev the LS/VTEC past 8000 with a stock bottom end. Or else your going to be in the same boat again,,, except with spun rod bearings this time around...

 

na i will polish and balance crank and shot peened rods with arp bolts and cp pistons 11:5 comp

 

that will help, but its the bore to stroke ratio you have to look out for, the geometry of the engine has to be there.

 

a dry kit isnt the worst thing you can put on a honda the zex kit is safe i ran one on my ls integra for a summer with a 75 shot and used 4 bottles no probs at all. and i drove the hell out of it at the drags.i love mine kit know i got a turbo and a b17 so this should be more fun.

bent valve

 

check oil and coolant overflow, do a compression test and/or check the cat can be clogged (happened to me in my prelude)
