just as the title and topic say.....heres the deal, i blew up my old b18b1 with 300 miles on it..yea vac line came off to wastegate and full boost occurred. srp pistons and eagle rods, used original bearings that came with motor. rods and pistons are fine, all balanced. whole lower and top end are fine just cracked cylinder walls 1 and 3 when it blew. i have a new block but need to know....

how bad would it be for me to use those rings if all my gaps/specs/clearances are ok? should i just get new ones?

one more question...should i also get new bearings (ACL)?

i figured id ask and get some feedback before i go and buy new ****....

thanks

 

Buy new, when you have that much money and time invested in something, its best to never try to skim on anything. Especially when such a load as ??psi was put on those rings when it blew up.

 

not sure, i was WOT on t3/t043 .60/.63ar

i know my boost gauge was pegged at 20 cuz i noticed it out of the corner of my eye when it blew....i was going around a corner at the time and wasnt concentrated on the gauge, it all happened so fast!

what is full boost on that turb?
