Pist'n Broke!

[boost infested]

ah... too fast...... toasted piston #3, boost spiked to 18psi. ohhhhhhhh well....... its time to park her :arco:

if you have a piston with rod let me know. thanks.

will be back later,the careless one :arco:

ps: should i just replace the piston and drive it again or park it and save some cash to buy some forge pistons?

[red240ne]

just replace that one piston and throw it back together. figure out why you're spiking too, and fix it.

[boost infested]

yup, the deltagate is the main problem..... i will get that thing checked.

[:: orion ::]

Hehehehe...fun.

I did the same, to #4.

I replaced just the piston...left the bock bolted to the transmission...removed the head, pulled the oil pan, and pushed the piston/rod up out the top.

I popped a used pisotn back in, and even reused the HG...it ran boosted for another 5-6 months, then I put it in my S13 daily driver for the last 7 months (N/A)...it still runs like a champ, but ticks and burns a little oil from that odd piston.

It's now sitting in my garage as a spare, now that the S13 has it's original motor back in it.

Anyway, it has been done succesfully before, but "proceed at your own risk!"

oh i am not new to poping pistons... i blew 3 pistons in my 91daytona shelby before i went and got some forged slugs. LOL

I have a set of stock pistons and rods if you are interested for cheap. Other wise, the cheapest set of forged pistons can be had for $489 from ka24de.com. Just remember though, forged pistons will take a crap also without proper tuning. Get rid of the Deltagate and get a Tial!

Klattr1 please email me at [email protected]

the cheaper the better. they are in good shape?

[klattr1]

I emailed you.

If this is more than a temporary solution, I'd recommend honing the bore again and put the slug in with new rings. This will get you a proper compression and less oil usage than just throwing the used **** in a smooth bore.

[red240ne]

Yea, you should hone it. Otherwise, the rings will never seat.

not broken anymore!

i knew something was ****ed up. it was still pulling same amount of vac', it wasnt burning any oil, #3 plug was soaked with fuel(when i pulled all the plugs last nite). I AM THE LUCKIEST SOB RIGHT NOW!!! ITS MY O-RING ON INJ #3. the lower o-ring was ripped so fuel is constantly feeding into cylinder #3!!! i did a compression test and the numbers are dead on all the way across!!!!!!!!

i guess 19psi ripped opened the damaged o-ring.

lucky sob.

[Drift Machine]

Damn you are one lucky MF'er.

[Prok0]

Damn you sure lucked out..

[boost infested]

i am new to these side feed injectors. god damn these side feeds LOL!!

thank,LSB

[MaxType 240]

Another one to the list of poeple w/ torn o-rings (I'm on that list too) I didn't lube them prior to installing the injectors...

Fix that WG man!

[boost infested]

i did lube them o rings, its one of those things. yes i will fix that wg.

[brage]

Buy my 50# injectors in the classifieds and go top-feed
