HELP ME

[alexthejew]

cmon guys. i posted that i looked in the combustion chamber with a borescope, and i didnt see anything. no damage, no spark plug piece. the break doesnt look clean at all, so i dont think its new. i am building a motor currently anyway, so it is true that if this gets eaten up by a piece of spark plug...

i dont think im going to have any problems. during datalogging at idle today, she cranked, fired, and idled nicely.

No need to get pissy, just trying to help you out "bro".

Yea. Sorry I got pissy kuro. You've always been cool to me. This whole install has just been frustrating. I guess I just lost my cool.

Just drove the car about 20 miles. Runs perfectly in closed loop cruising and normal acceleration. Now for some adjustments and some more logging.

Subd..

Well the good news is that it would have probably blown up by now.

 

[alexthejew]

Certainly is good news.

update: made 5 psi slightly rich at 2/3 throttle. seems quick. logging and re-tuning.

i think its safe to say that nothing is in my combustion chamber.

I'd think if anything was in it it would definitely caused a problem by now, could have disintegrated or fallen through

That's what I assumed when I saw the break, but even with the borescope, I was still a bit nearvous.

just and update: car still runs well cruising and idle. same MPG as before.

lol man your already near the stock limits of your block... detonation shouldnt be the issue.

 

[alexthejew]

prevent detonation now, and then use it when im built... i figured why not?

Who's tuning your car if your detonating now? What are you running, 87 octane gas?

 

[alexthejew]

Im not detonating now, but when 10 psi is going into the motor, detonation will be game over.

 

[alexthejew]

501 rwhp, 457 rwtq @ 10.1 psi on stock bottom end! solid numbers!

 

[rford426]

Damn you scared?

 

[alexthejew]

ive been scared since i put the cams in 40k miles ago... did i mention that my car has 96k miles?

 

[Kuro!]

 

[alexthejew]

yup the goal is to get the new motor finished before this one blows up.chris @ bbr said it should be fine.
