[jflo]

(omg) Is that from your car?

 

[toucci]

did you drop it while rebuilding your engine?

 

[changedman]

LOL. we can attribute most the damage to the shop that INSTALLED the kit actually. He aimed the nitrous etc nozzle RIGHT into cylinder one. AND he placed it SO close to the TB that it didnt mix well enough!

Nice, good job(notcool)

 

[PaulMP3]

ouch.........

 

[changedman]

cylinder 4's valves were PERFECTLY fine. cylinder one was the ONLY cylinder with a huge build up and damage.

 

[Equinox]

so how close to the TB was it?

 

[changedman]

guess what. the total cost LESS than they expected. the piston (LUCKY) did NOT break apart internally. infact it was so fine that they found the problem AFTER they had sent out the cylinder head!!

it didn't even scratch the walls!!

my car is back and kicks ass.
nitrous coming off soon.
156e bushings ROCK!!

i got $60 in gas since i put the charge on my bp card

btw, dont ask how much it cost. it was actually cheaper than getting a used engine and installing it.

sooo what was your compression drop with that? LOFL

 

[azian6er]

Sorry couldnt resist Pat. You are still my Dawg

 

[Dreeza]

holy shyat man

Well, glad to see your cars back!!!

You better have given it a BIG hug and kiss

 

[PaulMP3]

I am impressed how fast you got your car back.

Any new plans for the mp3, or you leaving her stock for now..

 

[changedman]

lost 100 lbs compression to 75 lbs (normal 175)

and it was NX's recommended setting away from TB.

and no, nitrous didn't own me. the ******* shop that installed it ****** up did!! lol

 

[changedman]

STOCK! LOL

 

[changedman]

it took two weeks over all, and after i told him to go do the work, for all the parts ETC it took about 4 business days. not bad.
