I dont data log but i sure will now. Im not sure what went on during the dyno session but my maf sensor blew the same day. Im not here to make any accusations or burn any bridges. Whether my tuner saw it or not doesnt matter anymore. Its a risk you take when you sign that waiver before you strap on to the dyno. When all set and done, the car will be visiting Chad at CBRD.

3. ACL Rod bearings
4. ARP head studs
5. Supertech Intake and Exhaust Valves
6. Supertech dual valve springs and retainers
7. GSC S2 Cams

Parts drop shipped from vendors are arriving. Here's an update of what I received so far for my build.
AMS Clutch Master Cylinder Upgrade:
Competition Stage 2 Street Series 2100:
I will update this thread as more parts start to roll in and the rebuilding process goes in. Again, MAP is the way to go

As promised, here is an update of what is going on. I received all the parts beside the MAP EF3 and Intake manifold. They had just received my stock turbo and intake manifold for porting on Thursday. I received my ACT Streetlite flywheel, Manley I beams, Wiseco Pistons, ACL Rod Bearings, Walbro 255, MAP 1000cc Plug and Play Injectors, and the OEM Mitsubishi Engine Gasket set. Everything came on Saturday. AMAZING shipping time and customer service by MAP.

Alright guys...here's the update of the tear down.
We began tearing down the motor today and was able to successfully remove the head, pistons, and rods in a matter of 5 hours. Cylinder number 4 with the low compression had 2 cracks on the side of the Piston. Piston 1 had 1 small crack on the side as well. Cylinder 1 wall had 2 scrapes. You can feel it gently with your finger nails. I do not want to pull the block so maybe I can get away with honing the cylinder. The pics are as follows:
This thread will turn into my build thread. Hopefully it will be successful
Anyways, we found out what happened. My turbo seals went apparently. All lines, intake, and cylinders were being sprayed with oil. This caused detonation and cracked a few pistons. I don't understand as to how my stock turbo took a dump with only 32k miles on it. There are too many variables. This also explains why my MAF sensor went out on the same day as the tune. Atleast that's what the theory is. Regardless of the past, I look forward to a successful build on a MAP EF3. The head was sent off to the Machine Shop for GSC S2 Cams, Supertech Dual Valve Springs, Titanium Retainers, and Supertech Valves

2nd this. You will be cursing your self if you do drop ins. can you exchange the pistons and go up a size. I ran drop ins for a couple of months for fun but it cosumed a lot of oil. I also had alot less miles and damage then yours based on the pictures. Get it machined so you do not have to do it again. I only had a weekend to fix mine where i had a spark plug pop so rigged it till nicer weather.

From what the mechanic said, it looks like we will be able to get away with honing out the cylinders. We will be checking piston clearances soon. I can scrape our fingernails across and feel the scrape but it doesnt stop the finger from going. We will hone it out and see how it feels and go from there.
