Well My FI Days Have Come To An End.....
Like the title says..coming home lastnight at 1:30am cruising about 65mphs....I here some clanking and then POW.....loss of power and car shuts off....CANNOT SEE ANYTHING...SMOKE HAS FILLED THE WHOLE CAR..no control going down the highway...I end up getting off the highway because it is 1:30am and no one is on the road...and got off into some grass...I get out of the car quickly because I think something is on fire....i check underneath the hood and underneath the car before opening the hood to make sure was not a fire..once I cleared that point I popped the hood and out poors smoke....All over the back of my car and underneath I smell Tranny Fluid everywhere...I thought my tranny was gone...which is better then the block being finished....So I call a tow truck and tow it to my house...Get up this morning to check what the hell happend come to find out 3 big *** holes in my oil pan and my starter hanging off the bottom of the car...here are the pics...I have decided that I will be going back to stock in my car and parting out my ATI Procharger kit with all the extras I have put into...Ohh well enjoy..

probably cracked a rod or the block.. something like that.....and it decided to go lastnight. 36,000 miles on my car.
|

Good question...i dont have a clue....Has anyone else ever had a block blow this bad? 1 hole is about the size of a golf ball the one picture below is the size of my whole fist..on the bottom its a very wide break like 3 inches across...

I have about 14,000 boosted miles...I was running 10 psi on the ATI kit and I have the UTEC management system...I did alot of reading on FI before I went and have bought every necessary pre-cautinary to prevent this...i have never tracked the car or auto-crossed it...just dynoed it...
|
Damn thats sucks... what are you going to do now?
|
sorry to hear this bro... this kinda things make me remember to take it easy on the gas and not boost every chance I get. Were you redlining your car often?
Edit: Why does it say 380 rwhp @5500 rpms & 329 torque on your sig? |
his numbers maybe?
