Well, I was digging through old stuff on the ka-t.org server and found some nice blowup pictures of BJ's car from last summer.



As you can see, we lost #3

The rod came out and went through the block, down through the pan, through the girdle and up the other side.

i had a theory about the #3 piston/rod thing, but im almost positive i can rule it out because of the whole water cooled engine thing

Well I havent been up to much. I sold my S14 and now own a Z32. I still work on my s14, as I sold it to GroundZero Motorsports and I work for them part time...so I still do all the maint. and will be the one to race it this year as well.

Yes..Duct Tape....

Actually this was a stock motor, and the wastegate line came off the bottom of the wastegate. It actually blew around 30psi and 500hp...I think the exact amount was 506hp. We are still finding pieces of the block around the shop and around the dyno...as well as inside the car.
