I think my engine is *****ed

[240+civic=pimp]

I Have had my rb20det swap done for a while and today i was shootting a movie and when i was driving home the car died.It would start back up but it had no power and was pinging a little. I had oil pressure and it was running at a cool 160F. I took off the intake side of the turbo and it spun freely. I am in the process of taking the plugs out and checking them. Could i have blown the ceramic turbo apart runnin 9psi? Any help would be great.

Anyways if you want to buy it i have a spare rb20det motor and the ka24e as well.If the motor is shot all you would have to do is put in the other one.adam

Check your intercooler piping makr sure you have no leaks

I was going to check that too.you think that it could make the car run like that?

I checked all the plugs they look fine.I took apart the turbo and the exhaust turbine looks fine also.Next ill do a compression check.

After Mine blew off the car stalled out. It was hard to start and started to sputter when I gave it gas. Then it was really hard to start too took some foot work to get it running lol. It's a simple thing to check vs doing the hard stuff like what I did when I didn't check the pipes.
