Blown Motors

wtf

ok first to laloosh. dude seriously if you have nothing productive to say just mind your own business since u really dont know what ur talking about. Yes i have a cat back and yes i replaced the cat that sits uhhh, just forward of the exhaust hence the term " cat-back exhaust". Also i WAS doing 80, in fact i had my cruise on because i was driving on the florida turnpike from miami to gainesville with a total of 360 miles and my underware size is 32 if u need to know that too. Oh and yes i lowered my boost with a boost controller since that is part of it's function. I confirmed this lower boost with my boost controller reading as well as my boost gauge (aftermarket loosh the MS6 doesnt come with one).

Anyway aside from this useless trash talking which does nothing but litter the forum i want to thank 3speed for actually providing useful information. Seriously my friend you have my deepest thanks and if u are ever in orlando drinks r on me.

i dont know what im talking about? how bout u stop acting innocent saying your engine blew. You made postw before saying you car was hitting 26psi, what do you think caused the stress in your engine? You ****** it up, it blew, deal with it. Dont lie about it


here's a tip: there's more than one dealer. Take off the boost controller and try again.

to the nay sayers

guys i fail to understand how someone can sit and just search the forums looking to talk smack so here itis. I have 3 cars and one bike. The MS6 actually has 23349 miles on the odometer and it is my toy and as that only gets driven once or twice a month. I live in orlando roughly 18 miles from my place of work and i use my bike as my primary mode of transportation because of the traffic situation down here.
My point being: it is impossible for me to give u all all my daily habbits since i dont think any of u really want to hear it plus i dnt have the time to b on here all day i actually work for a living.
Frankly i was under the impresion that the spirit of the forum is to get people together, talk about our experiences and figure out ways to get around mechanical issues with our cars which the manufactures might not be exactly dying to share with us.
At no time did i claim the details were important since i am paying for the rebuild myself. I was simply asking if anyone had any information on what my options might be.
To those that helped my sincerest thanks to those who just nit pick every last sentence...seriously get a job!
 
hey loosh...did i spell that right???

loosh i hav been all over this forum and havnt seen u provide a SINGLE piece of useful information to ANYONE here...
 
I love hearing all these i was cruising and it blew stories, i just find them wierd and full of s***.

While I know nothing about Carlos, why do you say weird and full of it?

I can fully beleive that an engine can launch while crusing down the highway,,,, it happened to me also!

I had a 99 Neon R/T that was built and juiced, ran like a ***** ape! Then one day, while crusing along at 60, she let go, and I mean let go as in get the push broom to pick up the metal bits along the highway!

Engines can "go" anytime, not just when pushing big boost or a 75 shot (dunno)

Carlos, as laloosh said though, I would have tried to put the 2nd cat back on, ditch the controller, and went to another dealer asap!
Although I have no idea why removing the 2nd cat could possibly kill an engine, I beleive the dealer you went to was just looking for excuesses not to do it.

if you dont think i actually help people on here you shoudl search harder. Ms3 owners come to my house for installs, i get a pm every day about a tunning question or "how do i" question. Like i said before, take off the mbc, leave the other stuff one and go to a different dealer. They cant void your warranty for bolt ons if you dont alter the boost. If they do, they must proove to you that your cat delete caused the damage.
 
The car should handle 25psi with a proper tune.

Supposedly the CEO or head or w/e of Mazdaspeed owns a Speed6, port injected, 500+awhp, stock block.

"supposedly" being the operative word. i've long asked for proof (exterior shots don't count folks) and was told that the car was no longer in existence and was "crushed".

for the record i think laloosh is helpful here and on other forums from what i have seen. lets leave the bickering to the kindergarteners and keep a positive spirit here.
 
All the more reason you people should go to the races, join the corrals that I help set up, and show your support for Mazdaspeed. You never know who you'll run into at the Mazda paddocks. Some of them are nice enough to talk to you about the interesting cars that they've driven. :)

maybe you guys are misunderstanding laloosh. What he is meaning to say is that your engines didnt blow at cruising speed for no reason. There are other factors that caused the engine to blow, and it just happened to blow while you were cruising. But sometimes people fail to mention what those other factors are until later. 26psi on the ms6 and NOS in your neon were those factors. Just my opinion.

ding ding ding....
 
cont

Fact is i never claimed my boost spike issues didnt cause the damage that eventualy led to my blown motor. My friend i grew up around cars all my life, i rebuilt my first tranny at 14yrs old ad my brother is a mechanic by trade; i simply have no experienced with forced induction.
In fact i KNOW thats what caused it and i was simply looking for information on the subject which, to my understanding is the point of the forum. But dont tell me that im full of it because you dont believe a motor can blow during highway cruising because i know for a fact that it can.
Frankly i simply do not have the time to sit here every day and post every last detail and ( no offence ) why would i lie to anyone here, its not like anyone here is going to pay for my motor. I simply need some advice which if the shoe were on the other foot and i had experience on the subject i would gladly give.

Guys again thanks very much for all your help. It was very useful and if mazda does in fact deny my waranty i will be posting info on the motor i plan to build from the ground up rods, pistons, upgraded turbo which i actually already have...the works.

Just A lie to give you mazdaspeed6 owner a sence of FALSE hope...
