This actually happened about a month ago, but I was so frustrated with the car that I didn't touch her until today when I pulled off the head. I bought 98 ITR #1007's heart from pennies_hatchie this spring. The reason she blew up was probably me boosting on my old GSR street tune at a whopping 4 lbs.

Oops...that looks expensive.


Let's take a closer look...Cylinder #1 decided to stretch herself out


Hairline crack on Cylinder #3


Here's the ITR head...looks alright, I'm going to freshen her up with a stock rebuild and a little port-n-polish action.


Cylinder #1


Cylinder #2


Cylinder #3


Cylinder #4


So much for a stock-sleeve ITR build next year...


Hopefully if I get the funds together this winter, I can send the block off to Benson for some proper love.

In the meantime, I'll be putting together a budget stock-sleeve LS/VTEC build for next season. I'm hoping to max out my GT3255E on it, then throw on a SC6152E when the ITR block gets back from Benson

Moral of the story: Don't get stupid and not listen to your tuner when they tell you not to boost on an old/different tune

<-- wishes he had an ITR to throw his B18C5 into

 

damn sucks man

Well there's your problem!

Good luck with the rebuild.

 

I'm just curious how you cracked a sleeve before breaking a ringland or losing your rings? That's crazy.

Build and improve, only way to go.

Enlighten me. I assumed it was the injector clip coming loose.

 

^ I think he was being humorous.

AAhhh, it hurts me to see my old heart in that state. Well, Fnan, good luck on the build and next time, get it tuned.

 

lol u r going to scare potential boosted itr wannabes , but unfortunately its your own fault for that happening, cheaping out on the tune turns out a lot more expensive.
Gl with the rebuild

 

Learning experiences with boost never come cheap.

Don't you worry Dooshy... you'll be making your post eventually as well!

&lt;----Done with turbo hondas.

WOT through corners FTW

 

If I were home it would have already blown I bet. Boost + Greed = BOOOM.

Must have self control.
