So you have Meth Injection.. Are your pistons also cracked??

Honestly though, doesnt this seem likes its more than just meth that caused this?? That things fooked!
With proper atomization and a proper flowing system, I dont think a piston should get that wrecked (I have no clue tho for sure).
If the nozzle was clogged and it was like spitting droplets and only the first few cylinders were seeing any of the meth then yes, but shouldnt a properly functioning meth system still help get a relatively good amount of meth vapors to the cyildners further from the throttle body?

The piston was wrecked because it cracked.. The reason it cracked is because of the meth.. He had been driving on cracked pistons for who knows how long..
If the nozzle was clogged it wouldnt do it to just cyl 1 which is furthest from the nozzle and doesnt see the meth like cyl #4..
The fact remains.. 90% of blown Evo Motors we see ALL HAVE METH.. Including an Evo X we just got.. And go figure Cyl#1 was the only wet one.. The pistons didnt crack but cyl1 has 80 compression..

Interesting to point blame on meth, but was the owner : (1) logging knock (doubt it), (2) did the owner have knock kill boost feature (tephra v5 - v7), and (3) what AFRs was the car tuned at prior to the failure ? I agree that ideally each cylinder would get the same amount of fuel (direct port injection), but can't understand how this could not have been caught with the proper failsafes.....

Sure Poor tuning along with meth leads to blown motors but if there is NO METH on the car and you have poor tuning, bad gas, or anything its MORE LIKELY to survive then it is with METH on the car.. Period..

At any rate, this piston was beaten to death with detonation well before it was delivered to Mike. One can only guess what was happening prior to his receiving the car, and for how long.

It has an AEM in it..
Im going to say once again its my opinion that the Meth caused it because unlike the other poorly tuned AEM car we had last month that blew up this one has 1 piston cracked not all 4.. and by chance its cyl #1 go figure.. the METH Killer..
