Blew my motor!! so much for the FP Black on the stocker!
Well, after chasing down numerous boost leaks, a bad cam sensor, and crank sensor. Everything was running perfectly on the car again. Went out tonight for a little cruise and as i was smiling slamming gears onto the Garden State Parkway i hit 4th and BAM BOOM BING!!!!
Sounded like a bunch of animals under the hood banging hammers under the hood, and a HUGE cloud of white smoke in the rear-view mirror. I IMMEDIATELY pull off and rip the ebrake up, just in time to see the flames coming through the hood scoop. SWEET!!! I quickly pulled the keys, and ran to the back for my nice newly installed kill switch, and the flames quickly died out. I called 911, and my girlfriend who came there in a panic.. As the NJ Trooper showed up, he was smiling, as I asked him if i could use his flashlight real quick to check out the damage.. He laughed, and asked what happened... " I think i blew the motor"... Anyway, he chuckled as i ask if i could go home ( i live .5 miles away) and get my truck and trailer for it. He responded that after seeing the car, he figured I would have a trailer to pull it with..
Anyway, will post pictures tomorrow as i start pulling her apart, but theres Oil splattered all over the firewall, windshield, etc.. and Shrapnal EVERYWHERE!!!
I guess the 500whp on the stock block didnt go over so well.. I guess this is just a reason to go BR 2.0 sooner then I thought!! Wheres Mike @ AWD, i got some parts I have to order up!!
Oh and heres a picture of me on the parkway with the trooper sitting behind me(sorry, cell phone pic)!!

Damn man that sucks, sorry to hear. Stock motors hold up over 500hp but your's is one to give up the ghost.
But like you said time to upgrade to stronger and better.

yea, it was pretty aggressive tho.. Then again, it was only at 27lbs. And the motor only had 38,xxx miles on it. But shes been though alot. But like i said. Now ill be shooting for 9s!!
So FP black, on E85 ( AMS intercooler, AMS short route IC piping, Fidanza cam gears, BR double pumper, FIC 1450cc injectors, Hallman Pro BC, Spoolin up COP kit, Speed Density, )plus the new shopping list
BR 2.0, BR stage 3 head, AWD 272 cams, L19 ARP headstuds, OEM Mitsu Engine gasket set, OEM Mitsu front cover w/ oil pump and gears, and Evo 8 AC delete sound good?

After all the money I have invested in her I could NEVER sell!! Besides, shes my child. You cant just go and sell your child because she gets sick and has to go to the doctors all the time!!!
Yea, she'll be babied until the spring time. Hopefully shes back up and running by the New Year, but I'm in no rush being the soon to be snows arrival!
