Is that really how you spell "torrets?" I've always wondered

the firefox spell checker didnt flag it, but i guess it's actually spelled "Tourette's"

i simply read your thread and commented. .

BS

where is the love?

sorry to hear about the engine, but if i had a b16 blow up, it would be down for a LOOOOOOOONG time .. GL on your build

 

[Slept-n]

hahaha thanks, like i said i knew it was gonna blow up it was just a matter of time. . . it needs the rebuild like crazy. . i checked the carfax on it and it's last recorded oil change was backin 2002 with 130K on the odo. . O_O

 

[Slept-n]

how useful are block guards?

 

[99EBPSi]

Pretty useful if your gonna do some higher boost.

 

[Genuine Rolla]

iti'll be sick once you're all done with it.

 

[Slept-n]

JE pistons 9.2:1 comp: in the mail

 

[99EBPSi]

What kind of PSI you shooting for?

 

[Slept-n]

15

 

[Szady]

I wish I had the money to blow up B16's and just rebuild them as I please. Ive seen your car down more than any other car on this site. Anywho's, GL w/the rebuild. I just did mine, and I had a blast doing it.

 

[Slept-n]

i know i can't wait for the pistons to come in with brand new rings :-) and for the record i really don't make that much money. . . at all.

 

[Silver Bullet]

good luck on the build....dont forget to take pics for us....=D

 

[Slept-n]

always

 

[ryanM]

should have gone with lower compression

 

[Slept-n]

compression had nothing to do with this, the motor had like 200K on it plus it was only running 6 1/2 PSI thats not enough to kill the motor, boost didn't destroy it, old age did.

 

[FRODO]

No old age didnt do it....poor maintence killed it. I have seen plenty of motors with more then your mileage turboed.

 

[99EBPSi]

I think LongGrain was talking about your new pistons, not the old ones.

 

[Slept-n]

oh, oh well. nothing i can do now but rebuild it.
