Last night i threw a wet kit on my build. i squeezed a couple runs and it gave a nice burst of power. I mean DAMN, it was good. ROCKIN FULLY BUILT TURBO HATCHES. but after its burst it would boggg and would slowly redline. ME being a dumbass kept on it. driving home, at 65, it started to sputter, i dont hear any valve noise it just runs like complete **** idles at 400-500 and usually dies within a 30 secs- minute on start up? HELP?
KEEP THE PERSNOAL COMMENTS TO YOUR SELF. THIS IS FOR HELP ONLY.

 

what motor and what build? stock motor? how much NOS? If you didnt retard the timing you could have melted a piston.

 

drain the oil and see what comes out.
take off the valve cover and check for damage(after a compression test)
did you have your timing retard when you hit nitrous? or did you just hook it up and hit the button?

 

uh oh.... this could be an epic thread. melted piston is possible. let's hope he did retard his timing!

 

ha i bet he didnt retard it.
b20/vtec im assuming??? was it stock or built?

 

how much nitrous? AND WHERE ARE THE VIDEOS MAN. gosh no videos after all that excitement. bummer

 

always happens that way huh?! sux

 

*waits*
//me doing some detective work
//edit
pretty sure he has adjustable timing

and to think i felt bad about his stuff blowing

 

woo in for results/pics

 

x2!

 

damn he doesnt even respond...
I love when people post like this with absolutely no information on the car/setup or anything and just ask us to solve the problem haha

 

probably blew the welds on the intake

 

Well at least your helping everyone out by blowing your motor and making our freeways that much safer.

 

Unless you adjusted the wet kit properly, it could have had AFR's all over the place - either very rich or very lean. Add the fact you didn't alter your ignition timing, and you probably cracked some ringlands (broken pistons), melted a piston or three, blown the headgasket, toasted the brearings, and/or a few other minor things.

Long story short, there is no HELP outside rebuilding or buying another short block - your B20B is probably TOAST.


Read up on how nitrous works, and how you must adjust the AFR's and timing to prevent doing this again.

 

1 less retard off the road lol

 

ya i doubt he did ALL those things.
He didnt say it was knocking so the bearings probably arent toast. But it def sounds like he melted a piston.

 

sorry everyone for not responding so soon. set up is as follows
b20Z block p72 head skunk2 pro springs retainers valves. Type r cams
stock block.
heads port n polished and milled.

first off not a noob. yes i retarted my timing 2 degrees. so sorry not a retard here.
im going to go check the timing right now and compression

get you results soon here. thanks for the help

 

oh ya this isnt my del sol. its my eg. bubba at do it dyno tuned it so its up to par on the all motor status.

 

probably melted a ring land as stated before...spray+cast piston=:crap:

 

These threads make me lol

 

2 degrees isnt that much considering you dont even know how much NOS u were running...

 

it was a roughly a 75 give or take.

but one of the spark plugs was just completly gone hahaha. must of been hot in number 2. which is unusal because on single foggers usually happens in 3 and 4 cylinders cuz thats closet to the spray nozzle. Still scratchin my head on that one. but i tried doin a compression test in cyl 2 and i didnt even get a reading?

runs a bit better with the new plugs. but still like ****.

checked timing.... at 16 degrees its 1-2cm from the 3rd line. so adjustments are in order.

from there if it doesnt work, gotta pull the head to see any further damage crossin my fingers on this one. though doesnt sound bad just running very rough.

 

haha that made me lol

 

if you didnt even get a reading then that cylinder is probably gone..

 

You sir are running on three cylinders. I wouldn't take a chance on running the car anymore, because if anything is still good it won't be for long.
