I blew my motor toooo, having the motor replaced under warranty and pulling that bad boy off... hate to leave the club, but the tl cant handle it and im not building the motor either...

type-s09

when did your motor blow?

check that thread i threw something in there about SSMs motor

two week ago. head and injectors and gasket.

so when you blew your motor did you spit or swallow?

lol j/k

did you have anything modded?

fully bolted and s/c'ed

thats pretty funny!

got the TL back yesterday! Everything works great! just need a new drivers side axle. popping pretty bad.

good luck David, Im keeping mine boosted as well, I guess we jus gotta learn how to drive and appreciate staying uner 3k rpm at times.

I fucking flipped when they told me nothing was wrong and it got towed back 45 miunets later. Pretty funny though....

Nah. Add meth and beat the crap out of it.

iTrader: (2)

lol, can you lead me to path of one that I can order??? the one from excelerate is the snow kit, stage 1 boost cooler 50/50 mix.

adding meth sooner or later???

think a forged block will fix the problem???

I hate cars

A forged bottom end will prolong how long it takes to blow but it will still blow. Tuning is the answer. Detonation will kill even the strongest bottom ends eventually. I've destroyed a couple TRW forged pistons from detonation.

Sounds like meth injection is the best way to go to prevent det with the s/c... I'm surprised C/T Engineering isn't addressing this problem. I don't know how hard you guys run your boosted TL's or the octane all of you are using but I say if it's approved for use it shouldn't cause failures like these.. JMO.

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

Many of the people who boost their TL's are very hard on them. With all this Hp it is hard not to use it. If you drive any car like you stole it all the time, stuff with break, the blower just makes it easier to rip on.
I have found myself slowing down and letting people get a huge lead just so I can use the boost for more than a second. 4th pulls so hard, I too have been caught in the moment.

I hate cars

True, I'm guilty as well.

But think about it this way. Cylinder pressure is what puts a strain on everything from pistons to rods to the crank. When you run into detonation, you're putting close to 2-3 times the cylinder pressure on everything. It would the equivilent to making 600-900hp worth of pressure on the internals briefly. That's why it blows without proper tuning. A steady 300whp with no detonation isn't going to hurt a thing.

Just Curious,

Are you guys running an intercooler?

TL-Rocket

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

No, most of us are just starting to run the chemical intercooling of methanol. Another member had a intercooler hooked up but had some issues with boost leaks.

where can i get and how much do the meth kits cost im picking up a S/C at the end of the month.

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

The kits start at $400 for the AEM water/meth, Snow performance kits are about $465, also water/meth mix and Alky Controls straight meth injection looks like $500-600 range.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

would it be bad if i dont get it?

I hate cars

No, you can save $500 now and pay $5,000 later for a new engine when it blows. Seriously though, it's the only safe way to run a supercharger.

I am looking into it, as i am going to get back my car today. happens that the head and valves blew along with the injectors.... THANK GOD ITS GETTING PAID FOR UNDER WARRANTY WITH A 200 DOLLAR DEDUCTABLE...

Majofo

you're lucky it was the top end.. make sure they replace your head gasket too.. heck I'd do a port & polish if they're just doing a valve job.

I hate cars

That sounds a little fishy. The valves can get burned but they can't "blow". The headgasket can blow but the head can't blow.

If your injectors started leaning it out, you could've burned a valve and blown a headgasket. Just be prepared for the damage that might've already been done to the pistons and bottom end. I would ask to inspect the pistons while the heads are off. In fact, I wouldn't take the car back without inspecting it first. Very important. What's going to happen is a piston will eventually let go from the damage that's (possibly) already done and then they're not going to cover it a second time.

I hate cars

Good thinking!

thanks for the info. im picking up the S/C in two weeks but im not puting it on until i get all the info i need on it. im glad i came across this thread. where could i get one of those kits?

ssmtl2nv

iTrader: (2)

pistons were fine, was over there with another member, and we checked it out while everything was off, forgive my above post... I burned a valve and blew a head gasket..... if she blows again, I guess it is time for a build...

I hate cars

That's good news. Sounds like it will live. Make sure to let us know how the meth works for you.

iTrader: (2)

im gonna be easy on throttle for a bit, when i get it back, then im gonna consdier meth and where i am going to install it an etc, space is an issue, so i def wassna make it worth my while. SSMTL will live to whine again, and maybe get some rsx 330cc injectors since they can dump a ltlle more fuel.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

where can i get one of those meth injectors and how much do you think an install would be for it?

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

would you still use pump gas with it?

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

i see that you can.

i was searching for some kits and i found this. do you guys recommend 1 or 5 gallon i dont see how the 5 gallon could fit with s/c taking up so much space.

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

The 5 gal tank is trunk mounted but IMO more for cars using alot of meth. Most of us are using the stock windshield washer tank which is 1 gal and alot cleaner of a set up.

scottDOTb

what up david,.. sorry to hear about the excursion. this is the first i've heard about it (been on a self vacation for last 6 months). good thing you didnt sell your car, you know you'd miss the whine. anyways im back, hit me up sometime.
