Blew my motor
i was driving down the highway decided to pass someone and lost all power. I look in my rearview mirror i saw white smoke everywhere i pulled over to the side of the highway and shut her off popped the hood there was no sign of anything leaking or a rod throw the side of the block. I started it back up and it blew white smoke and sounded like a boxer motor. I instantly called mitsu roadside and had the car towed to the dealership.
The car has intake, intercooler, full exhaust, was tuned i unmarried the AP before getting it towed
Do u think mitsu will warranty my motor?
If not what is the average cost to rebuild the motor?
thanks in advance

They'll probably void it unfortunately. If it is the engine that's screwed, price depends on how badly things are damage. I'd venture this is a $6-12K depending on if the block is okay.

Sorry to hear this. Not sure if the dealer what the dealer will say. My dealer knows that when you do basic bolt ons, you will need a tune. What is worse, they even know who my tuner is. This is going to be a sizeable amount of coin to fix this. Not sure how much cash you have on hand, but now will be the time to rebuild the motor for more boost. Again, I feel for you man.
