i had a t3/t4 with a block manifold and a tial wastegate with a 15psi srping. the car had a base map ran on it, not a full tune. i turboed on 4psi for about a month before then decided to get a new mani and wastegate and thats when i got the block and tial. cuz i had a POS wastegate and mani. heres a pik taken with my cell phone. any ideas what happened so i know what not to do when i put my other block together?

and it was running a little rich. and within thos three days i put my foot in it once and thats what happened

 

So you were running an untuned setup at 15psi and dont know why it cracked a sleeve...?

 

The lack of tune is the culprit.

/thread.

 

stock headbolt
headlift coolant got into the cylinder

also lack of a tune

 

The lack of tune would do that, but i'm not sure i understood his post correctly...it isn't written in a very logical manner

 

so you ran 4 psi fine on a base map .. ok not a lot of poower not too much danger

then jumped to 15 psi on the same no tune

and you wonder why?

 

 

Wait... Base Map doesn't = Tuned?

 

i bet still at least 50% fi hondas are still on basemaps

30 basemap or 400 tune

 

People are hilarious

 

 

LOL!! untuned def a issue!!!! dont mater if you had 20k in the motor without a tune its a tickin bomb...
