Blew it up right! Blown motor thread #923703460460

No pics, it's a mess! lol
Video though!
The sound quality is terrible, so just keep that in mind lol. It sounds bad on video, but its nothing like that in real life. It is idling rough when I first started it, as its only a startup tune.

Congrats, I know you're happy and relieved.

I'm stealing your license plate.

Haha, I actually stole it from a buddy of mine in Texas. It suites the car well I think.

Must feel good to finally be finished.

Grats!

Another blown motor sucess story. Have fun!

She's alive!!! Found my radiator to be busted. It'll be Monday until I can get another one. It was nice to hear it run and drive it out of the garage. Ill probably do some datallogging for lito later today as well. Video tonight!

Very nice!

For those of you looking for a someone to tune your car without taking it to a dyno, I highly recommend Lito. He is quick to respond and make adjustments and is great to work with and also very knowledgeable!

New radiator will be here tomorrow and I'm going to try to drive it!

 

[JoshK]

Hope to have my car back together so lito can tune mine(been down 6 months so far)!

Hurry up and get it running so we can see some vids of that thing man!

Lito is great to work with and knows exactly what he is doing! Make sure you have a motor ready to swap in if it blows, unfortunately I was not prepared and did not expect it.
Well she is running! lol. Look at the first post on this page there's a quick vid.

 

[JoshK]

Should have another engine here in a couple weeks! I meant some street driving vids man!

Lito is great, he has done some dataloggin with me before. That guy will take care of ya!

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.... What kind of numbers are you shooting for with the new engine?

Sweet! I'm looking forward to your build and good luck with it!
As of right now it's still on the 3.4 pulley(9-10 lbs) I have a 3.125 pulley I'm going to put on(12-13 lbs) until I get comfortable with it, then I'll go with a 10 rib setup.
On the 3.125 pulley I would like to see mid to upper 500's. Later I'll run 16 lbs or so, it all depends on how comfortable I am with the car.

+1 on Lito! He has been very nice to work with on my car. I just wish I had more time to get him the data logs faster.

I would suggest having the car tuned for the 3.125 and go up after. I had my car tuned with the 3.5" and have to put it on the dyno again to go down to a 3.25"

Lito(Manuel) has been great to work with. I admit that I'm a pain to work with and he's been awesome walking me through everything.
I DID get to go WOT today, but I have not taken it past 4500 rpm or so. I'm still trying to put some mileage on the clutch and put it through several heat cycles before pushing it too far.
Right now I'm just happy to be able to drive the car. I got a chance to clean it up this morning, gave it a wash for the first time since the day I blew the motor, cleaned under the hood and cleaned out the inside a bit.

By the way if anyone needs help in datalogging A/F with an Innovate LC-1 Let me know, it is super easy to hook it up if anyone would like me to walk them through it.

looking good abdulla

 

[ethic1]

very nice!

Are you going to use a 6 rib 3.125" pulley?

 

[AbdullaGT500]

Yes I am, until I can move up to a 10 rib steeda or whipple setup at least.
It is only making 6-7 psi with the 3.4 pulley. On the stock motor it was making 9-10. The 3.125 should put it back up to 10lbs.
