Question to keep from blowing my engine AGAIN...

blew engine right when I got the car, replaced the engine and 4k later, blew apex seal..

I have a full RB exhaust, FCD, drop in K&N, the guy I bought it from said he put a bosch pump in the car (not rewired, I have a walbro I can put in though) I have a wideband that never shows leaning and a ported WG


One minor detail...I added a MBC and was running 11lbs. Do you guys that that was my undoing.

the car is never hot, it boosts super fast.



*****so, what needs to be done to keep from blowing again*****

install a water injection kit like I did in my 3rd gen. My post is in the 3rd gen section, it will work in your car too, about $150.00 in parts.
