Ever notice that some days that it is easier to break your toys when you are trying not to?????bhuff30 said:Mr. Woodster was spraying a 150 shot, but he was trying to blow it up (never did).
When I had my turbo on my NA, and went lean, I only appeared to break the compression rings in #2. I didn't even think to check the piston skirts....mr_woodster said:Right before i blew my headgasket i decided to try my n/a luck, ran a E6 manifold with a T3 turbo, plumbed my oil return lines, wired in my la3 and vam...went for about 15 mins of fun (hehe, no exhuast!) was insane at only 10psi, then i blew the (cheap!!!) headgasket in two places, between 3-4 and also between 1 and a waterjacket.
Point of story is, today we pulled the pistons out of the n/a motor... 1-2 had a broken compression ring and 1-3-4 pistons had cracks in the skirts... i truthfully think the boost is what messed everything up, could have been the nitrous, but i didnt notice knocking or above normal oil consumption prior to the turbo, so i think the nitrous is pretty safe when done right!
