nice... your car sounds awesome.

[sunnys14]

thanks

[DRIFTEADOR]

so its still on a fmu? any idea how much power youre making

[nb07bcar]

You live in sacramento?

[sunnys14]

yeah i live in sacramento =) yes thats on a 12:1 fmu. im guessing im making around 240 at the wheels. my friend put out 220 on his SR and i beat him by 5 car lengths (35mph roll to 100mph)

[4felix20]

are you blowing a bit of smoke or was that something else? be careful man, that's how my blown motor started out...

nice though.

[sunnys14]

yeah. thats an old vid! my rings blew 4 days later in the 108 degree california weather =(

[4felix20]

i feel your pain.

what are you gonna do about it?

i'm not sure if i just want to get a new motor and start over or if i want to try to salvage the blown one. i'm not really sure of the extent of damage i did to mine, so i don't know if i can rebuild or not.

it's a tough situation because i don't really have all of the tools to snag the block out and tear it down. i'd like too though. people have mentioned renting cherry pickers and what not..but i'm not sure.

sure was fun though at 13psi.

maybe i'll just buy a scooter to get around town for the time being and save up like 3000 bucks to do it all over

[sunnys14]

i gotta save up about 2k for complete engine rebuild. wiseco pistons, crower rods, cosmetic headgasket, toga main bearings and rod bearings, act street clutch, 550cc injectors... the list goes on... =)

[GEO]

SUnny you blew your ring lands on 7psi?

[sunnys14]

9psi =(

[bruinbear714]

9psi is a little over the limit of the stock MAF.. no wonder your rings/pistons gave out.

[sunnys14]

rseabrooke is running 10psi no problem. 9psi isnt the limit of stock maf.

[Mustangs_Suck]

9psi is a little over the limit of the stock MAF.. no wonder your rings/pistons gave out.

I thought it was around 12psi?

[GEO]

I am running 10psi on stock maf.... Might have been the FMU

[sunnys14]

with the 12:1 fmu, fuel shouldnt have been a problem

[DammitBobby]

Nope it wasn`t the FMU and I ran 10psi. My guess was the heat and crapy 91 octain. I keep forgetting you guys have 91pump gas:(

[GEO]

ohh I think the 93 octane gas is saving me.. ;-)

[sunnys14]

CALIFORNIA SUCKS! them and their stupid CARB EO numbers on everything! crappy gas also! $3.15 a gallon for 91 octane!

[Craving4Boost]

yeah i know sometimes i get tempted to use cheap-o- Arco

[sunnys14]

i used it... it works fine
