Say bye to my engine... It has passed tonight.

I get onto the freeway. 4th gear 3k rpm... behind a white pos lumina, I go to pass it... POP... Huh gas...dosent....work... car ...died... I must pull over without a running engine.. Finally I cost to the emergency lane on the right, when i was 3 lanes over on the left. I try to start the car... nothing.... try again.... nothing.... try again... vroooooomm vurrhvurh vurh--STALLLLL. try aghain it starts.... **** idle. 450-520 rpm. very lumpy. I try to rev it to see if i can.. it dies once I hit the gas. It started to spit rain, I have no sunroff, no things... I was planing on getting it filled soon. So im wet, I call the flatbed. Ha once i get off the phone, My buddy from the car shop that did my seat brackets drives by and is stunned to see this pos... Offers to give me a ride but Im a trooper, I must stay with my bumblebee. I tell him thenaks for the offer dude, but leave me heree to die with it... or until the tow truck guy comes. haha so he leaves... not even 20 seconds later! My next door neighbour that hates me sees me and stops! I was totaly shocked to see that 2 people in a 10 minute span of me stopped on the side of the road help me! And to top it off this guy! I thought me hated me, anyways, He asks if im cool or need i ride.. I tell him im cool waiting for the flatbed but i appricaite the help. he goes. I go open my stupid hood, to see the stupid engine and i hear a honk... ****n weird friggin night, i have no clue but my damn cousin stopped... he was like wtf.. I was like wtf.. he was like is it dead... me- yup!.. damn... I just tell him to leave haha i need my space. ok he goes. i stil out side on my car waiting for the flatbed to come. why sit outside? well sitting inside is the same deal with nothing protection me up above. Anyways the flatbed guy comes. lifts it, crack,crack,crack.. chips some of my bumper. ..**** haha damn wtf i hate the night. anyways thats the last of my worrys. I get it home ( i was like 3 miles from my house to begin with) . I cover it...

OMFG-like-WTF-M8!?

argh... im gonan take the pos apart tomorrow. first check some small things see if its that. BUT im 8-% sure a piston is ****ed up ... If my engine is toast... say bye bye to the sds. say hello to a new forged engine and a custom turbo setup brought to you by my shop. I dont want to go this route but if im changing the internals im changing the whole system... Damnit. i was going to get the greddy e-manage, get my roof filled, get a 4 point roll cage done and a little bit of custom engine things done but now its time to do my engine right.... from the indide out.


BAD NIGHT! UGH All i wanted was to do some cruising... not have my engine blow. This sucks... I dunno might sell the whole ****n thing start with a new car. im starting to hate this pos
:m_BangHea
ugh. more details tomorrow after i take it apart. and beat it to death.

No i didnt have thier pistons scince I only had a stage 1 kit , EVEN THO IT TOPPED AT 8 PSI when its suppose to be a 4 psi pulley!
I didnt need their pistons cus this is suppose to be a drop and go system with no failures... I only put 1127 kms in 2 months! thats like ... under 650 miles.

Why would ripp release a 4psi bolt on and go kit and alot of people are saying it is getting to 8 to 10 psi? there is something wrong there.

Can you list all the mods on your SDS? If its a stage 1 with stage 1 pulley and I think I have seen boost cooler.. how about injectors and fuel pump? Just wondering what could cause....

I am also wondering if your set up was all tuned right.... Contact Ross asap.... I guess on Tuesday.....

dude that really ****in sucks... if they are blaming any of this on the fact that you gotta stg 4 im then they are truly idiotic, but at the same time to run off of the numbers they give with the addition of the stage 4 im would be bad... i feel your pain bro, i've been living it since december last year...
