Motor is blown...

Well, Mike did a compression check on the black t2 to figure out why it was so hard to start, turns out it was only firing on 2 of 6. Lemme tell you, this thing ran good considering. Leave it to us to make a completely messed up motor run good. That car would just walk away from anything when the wastegate opened. I cant imaging what it had been like at full tilt.
Anyways, we are putting a "special" motor in it very soon. Ill give you guys some pictures soon.

Question

Hey I remember the setup that black series 5 TII had.
How much psi's is that puppy pushing?? 15+?
It has almost the exact setup I have.
What are you gonna do to upgrade it and prevent another blown motor?

Thats how my motor was. It has low compression on 2 sides of the rear rotor, but would feel only slightly slower...and it wouldnt idle.

wanna sell the bad motor?

Thank God! When I saw you post this, I thought you blew your CYM. Still a damn shame though! "Special" engine? Is a 20b in the works?
