to make things even shittier my friend got his tools stolen in his 240sx which included my jack. so now im jackless. so until i buy a new one i can’t even take the engine out. FML!
shit happens when you have a car as modified as this. eventually i’ll get the perfect recipe for everything and it shall all work perfectly together as one. i’ll be more pissed if it’s a cracked sleeve or something stupid like that. checked the turbo on my lunch break thought maybe that fucker seized with the luck i’ve been having but spins nice and free with no sounds, no shaft play. definitely something internal.
:bawl:
Sorry to hear about the engine man, your car looks so clean. Best of luck on the next build.
thanks man!
Sounds like somebody put the bad JUJU on you :down: i’ll see what i can do 
tomm your luck will change for the better. Bump for bigger and badder redtegra build!
Hey buddy… if u need a jack come grab mine. anytime u need tools lemme kno… im down to pass by this weekend n help out. im sorry this happend… she ran mint the day before when u took me for a spin… 
well get her done… n then well role together 2 boosted white Da’s i cant wait
thanks man ill let you know but i should be buying a new one by friday. next year should be sick! if nothing blows up for me and you of course.
worked on it a bit. from 10pm to 2 am. started to get to cold so i had to stop couldn’t feel my feet and my fingers anymore. will continue tomorrow. this time i took some pics!
Dam lots of metal shavings.
the head looks pretty clean…
rod bearing ripped to shreds?
the head is squeaky clean! going to take the oil pan off right now. time to go see what died.
rod bearings destroyed! pics coming soon. there’s metal everywhere in the engine. i found some decent chunks chilling in the head.
so far two rods are damaged and the crank. havnt checked the mains yet.
fucked vs good
anyone ever see bearings as deformed as mine? first time for me. i didn’t even know that was possible!
Wow man…
Ouch!
thats exactly what it looked like in my first LS/V-T build in my buddys CRX got a few good runs went to break it in on the highway and shit just failed his was worse tho he got the Heat damage all the way up to the piston pin the whole rod was blue and his bearings were gone…
then when we rebuilt it we shatterd the Oil ring in the oil pump ive never seen that befor it was in 4 pieces the outer ring, it just fell appart. but hes got a LS/V-T up and runnin now in a EG puttin 400 to the wheels
what where his issues? oil pump failure?? i’ve got all winter to rebuild another engine so next spring ill be ready once again! if my turbo is fried for the third time im ditching the GT series and going with a journal bearing this time. much cheaper.
some old pics of the build. my first ls/vtec, she will be missed.
how it all started, almost.
random pic. miss my green wheels
this is how it really started. when i bought her.
monster truck
when i bought her
