bye bye engine
 

Well, it looks like it's the end of engine #1. She made it to 65K miles before losing a seal. Checked the compression just now, 75psi all around on the rear rotor(which is bad to begin with), and 80-40-40 on the front. Really couldn't have come at a worse time. Beginning of summer, slow at work, and sevenstock's coming up in 3 months. Oh well, fuck it, life goes on. Look for a large street port and single turbo in the future.

Damn man, good luck with your new engine and single turbo.

That does suck.. Sorry to hear that.

That sucks man, hopefully you'll get it up before summer ends.

What are you guys talking about? Sure that sucks for NOW...but at the end of the rainbow is the baddest, meanest SOB running the streets...fully ported single turbo 13B...

neevosh...Good luck with the new engine!

No doubt but as he said empty pockets are at the end of the rainbow too.. :(

yeah, but neevosh also wrote oh well, fuck it, life goes on!;)

Very true jspec.. I forgot..

C'mon dude if you are low on funds you could get a credit card and go to malloy mazda and get a reman w/new housings and rotor's ans new everything for 1950 and then pull it apart and port it your self dude:)
they are located in woodbridge VA
talk to Ray crowe he is the man

-Rikki
p.s. I also ble the snot out of my front rotor it is really hard to do:( GOOD LUCK

Ryan,

You blew your engine too? Damn...team non-sequential is 0-2!

No I blew it when it was seq that is why it blew I spiked @18psi and kapoof byebye limped it home and shat myself then 3 weeks later I spent the weekend swapping to the new street port motor:):bigthumb: and got hip to NON-seq and will never ever look back so we are 1-1

-Rikki

ahhh....I didn't know you were street ported...good deal...1-1...better than 0-2!

IT'S A TIE BALLGAME
BATTER UP

I just blew mine on monday :sad: was the first time Ireally opened it up this year after breakin in my new act clutch.

for those whose engine went bye bye was it all of the sudden or were there signs? rough idle? low power? smoke? basically i'm trying to estimate how much time i have left before i need a new engine. thanks

My motor would smoke excesively on start up. after i put the cluch in I drove easy for while to break the clutch in. So on moday i was past the break in perion and decided to test out the new clutch and the drag radials aand top acceleration, the run when excellent but when i pulled over i notice eratic idle 500-750 rpm and white smoke :sad: . I drove it 20 miled home but couldnt get compression over 3000 rpm. I parked in the garage. The next day car started up but couldnt idle. Started if up again there was a loud screetching nois and it died. decided not to mess with it anymore.

My signs were hi idle and heavy smoke on startup.

Moral of the story is-Dont open the car up unles the motor is strong. :sad:

Blackscorpio,
what are your vac readings at idle?

This is the main thing, the vacuum at idle. My car idle's between -320 and -380...at 1000 rpm's. I may not have a "blown" engine, but I have definitely lost compression somewhere. I have seen similarly modified cars with -500 at 900 rpm's...

should pull atleast 15" of vacuum for those of us with autometer gauges ;)

If you blew your motor your boost gauge would fluctuate irradically when you're on the gas, it did on mine and others that I know.

mine went this past monday(17th) . no sign whats so ever, she just went pew!! mine is under warranty , but i have to come up with proof of my oil changes. Quick question, how do i prove to the warranty companty that i have changed the oil on a reqular basis if i have lost most of my filter and oil receipt???

thanks

Did anyone check the Map sensor(boost sensor) vacuum hose located on the firewall? it is known to blow alot please check this:)

So when your motor has 9" at 750 rpm(as my motor does) that's not good huh? :D

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with the new one. I just went through the whole my engine is blown thing, but I just found out I'm running great compression. So as for your car...I hope you have it at 7 stock too. I'm thinking of taking my FC there. I'll leave the FD home this year.

I had some gas dilution going on and a lot of oil consumption under hard driving. The car was running good on the weekend. I made 271 RWHP @ 10psi a few months ago on DP, CB, intake, and FMIC. I had no signs of detonation when she let go. Debt sucks, but it looks like it's time to max out my credit card. At least now I got a project to work on.
