overboostin

Hey everyone. Im new to the forums but not knew to my evo x. I've had the car since may 2008 and wanted to to keep the car close to stock. Well that didnt happen lol. I had full bolt ons on the car by august, Dominator 2.0 and injectors by October, clutch and meth by March 2010. I recently had gsc S2's installed along with, supertech dual vs, retainers, seats, arp head studs and rod bolts. Unfortunatly the car blew up 2 days tune. it was misfiring under load in lower rpms (2-3k). once the car was at 4k in first gear i punched, Missfire-pop clink clank clunk oil everywhere. A rod with a broken rod and rod bolt was sticking out of the oil pan lol. pulled the oil pan off.... no kidding guys its like mashed potatoes. Number 4c exploaded in 10000s of pieces.

Now to the good part.

New setup:

Bushur Racing stage 3 shortblock- 2L.
Head- GSC S2 cams, Supertech dual valvespring, Supertech 1mm over valves, mild port and polish, Titanium seats and retainers, decked and clean of course.

Buschur Racing center diff pins and a fresh act 6puck sprung, heavy duty pressure plate, ACT streetlite flywheel.
Maperformance FPR kit.
FIC 1100 cc injectors.
Omni 4-bar
Primo performance 3.5 inch intake.
Forced performance FP BLACK turbo.
Cooling mist methanol kit, 250 psi pump, 375 cc nozzle (just for a little extra play action on the street)

few pix of the car and goodies...assemply starts today!














Thats about it for now. I will post pix as the progress goes along. Im shooting for reliable 550whp evo x DD on a mustang dyno

was it a missfire, or meth what caused the blow up???

overboostin

i dont think it was meth that caused it but it could be a lot of things, inproper install, tune, meth, not enough fuel. when the car came out of the shop i logged it and it was clean no bs.....

Who tuned it before?

overboostin

I highly doubt it... i think the piston ring was going now that i think about it and the piston just melted

overboostin

ugh i really dont want to talk about it since i dont want to start drama... but they have messed a few cars up in the past.

How did the environment change from then to when the car blew (car temp, outside temp, altitude, etc).

There have been some cocky tuners on here that try and blame it on the car (I won't name any names), but amazingly enough their are tuners out there that output tons of power and haven't blown a 4b11 yet.

I will do e85 once i save up and get a second car. I can always sell what i have now. injectors, meth kit etc. the problem with dd the car is that the closest corn station is 30 miles away in downtown philadelphia lol

Lexi, its karl good luck with the build hope all goes well this time.

To all the meth haters, I highly doubt it had anything to do with the meth. He had recently had a good bit of engine work done i.e. cams, springs, retainers, rod bolts and a new tune. Someone along the way may have messed up. His car was out and about for a good time on meth and running 11's with no problems before the recent upgrades.

When meth is done correctly it works and works well. In example my old dsm http://www.youtube.com/user/BuddyThe.../5/Rq41ZOdWTXw pump/meth 702 whp on a dyno jet and ran for a very long time with no problems what so ever. Dont be so quick to jump on the meth hating band wagon
