i enjoy the car too much to just toss it, but i have debated on fixing this setup and putting my efforts towards buying a firebird with a LS1 and building a car that is actually capable of putting down power with much less funds lol cam and head swap on a LS1 and id be running easy 12's

 

Yea it took almost nothing to make 600whp out of our c6 z06s ls7... granted we did a lot of custom stuff to the motor but its still heads, cam, c6r timing kit, lifters, pushrods, shaft mount rockers, fast lsx 102 intake manifold, 102 billet tb, halltech carbon intake, american racing headers, kooks catted x pipe, Akrapovic titanium exhaust, zr1 twin plate with lightened factory flywheel, rpm stage 5 trans, ported stock oil pan (by me yay) katech oil pump, anti dampener, bigger dry sump tank, katech tensioner, billet catch can, etc.

Tuned on hptuners on 93... a little over kill but that's just the motor, the whole car has been gone through.. its a street car still but its track prepped as we have a membership to Atlanta motorsports park and road Atlanta. Car is so much fun to drive

 

*drool* my friends would be envious lol

 

good night sweet prince

 

Oh no! was that with the p8r?

 

i have two, but yeh, this was with the original P8R, dont even know what happend yet, i can only assume the tensioner failed, but i was pulling away from a stop light, and at about 4000 rpm's, it died.

 

no foreign objects in the timing case, and the tensioner was fine, looks like the gatorback belt just decided it was time to call it quits after 1200 miles

 

I've never heard of Gatorback belts, but now I'll know to stay away from them in the future. Hopefully nothing was rubbing up against it to cause it fail prematurely. Hopefully there isn't major damage in that head as well. Good luck!

 

Gatorback belts are made by Goodyear, or at least branded as so. Typically they are quality belts, all belts fail from time to time. From what I understand Gates is the manufacturer of the OEM Honda belts.

 

quick update to anyone who is following the thread, im going to be selling the following off the car

full JRSC kit with the ported M45 and associated JRSC hardware

I knew you'd go turbo lol.. sucks about all of the setbacks but at least you're sticking with it

 

lol we'll call it a sign from the car gods that its time to ditch the M45

 

At this point I wouldn't blame you... unless you want to fiddle with an m90 lol

Pm me with what you want for the meth kit <3

 

Well I have good news and bad news, the good news is, by some ****** miracle, not a single valve or piston was damaged when the belt broke. The bad news is, i have some very unusual cylinder wall wear, which leads me to believe i may have broken piston rings for some reason.

 

did you ever get it tuned or just base map and still breaking in the motor?

 

it was tuned at RSTECH by randy shoener

 

Looks very similar to my broken piston ring wear pattern. Youre so lucky there was no p2v contact!

 

Maybe p2w too close? ..
Glad everything turned out good though.

 

I dont think the skirt seized because the mark goes all the way to to top (like the ring). Where p2w contact would start low at the base of the skirt. If the skirts did eat the wall then those pistons are trashed.

bye bye parts

 

 

shame you gave in to the dark side of pffftt
but good luck with the future venture

 

Makes me sad to see it go, i had alot of good times with it, despite it never being all that crazy fast. Now with this issue with the cylinder wear, i gotta pull the block again and deglaze the cylinders and re-ring it. It will be back though, better then ever. I don't have the money anymore to keep fighting to get to where I want to be, not with these set backs.

 

I wish I had the money for your s/c kit. I'd love to s/c my new b20 build.

 

I've been throwing countless money at my car for ages now. I hate giving up on anything
