ok guys i have a 90 integra with a b17a swap. Basically what i have was headers, intake, test pipe, exhuast, p28 w/spoon program and comp stage 2 cams. Now right after i put the cams in (which were used before me) i drove home kinda punching it to see the gains i got. The gains were really noticiable. But close to getting home it started to like misfire. So i pulled over and thought either i was running out of gas or that the battery was getting loose. So i went to get gas and it still didnt start right. So i pushed it like two block to my house. I tried to keep starting it but then i stopped cause it was pointless. So i took off the valve cover i realized the timing belt was loose cause the tensioner was loose. So today i took the car to a mechanic and he told me it looked like one valve was bent and told me he was gonna take the head off. When i went by the shop the head was off and when i looked there was only three pistons. He told me he has never seen anything like that before. What happened was the piston blew into thousands of little pieces. That and the sleeve cracked and the piston wall. Has this ever happened to anyone before? Now i dont know wether to buy a b17 block or go ls vtec. If anyone has a either to sell me let me know. thanks for reading

 

holy ****..just get a LS bottom end..it will be way cheaper..then boost the bitch..

 

i was thinking about it but how reliable is it and im really not used to shifting like at 7500. If i do go ls/vtec i definitely want to build it right and probably boost it. So should what kind of low compression pistons should i go with and would i still be redlining at 7500. Any advice would help.

 

did he pull the pan and see if the fragments went into the pan and all over, its almost impossible to just "disappear"

 

no i didnt dissapear but most of the pieces did fall into the pan and the other are in my intake manifold. It just happened yesterday and i saw it today so now i have to choose what i want to do.

 

That's some crazy ...

 

Damn thats some crazy ****, i would suggest you rebuild the whole motor, go with Ls block it'll be way cheaper and build it right. Good luck.

 

now thats is some crazy stuff...it just disappeared ehhh....

sounds like your timing was far too advanced.
