BAD NEWS.......

Went out today with Kyle(Project86) and did some WOT tuning for 3 hours straight. Did about 20 3rd/4th gear pulls and got my AFR down to 11.0:1 -11.2:1 AFR at 15psi with my 50/50 inj system working great the whole time.

IGL was 11, IGT split was 10, highest knock value logged for the day was 23 in midrange.....at 15 psi and above 5000 rpm the knock values were 3 to 8 sometimes as low as 2.

NEEDLESS to say it was a conservative tune and felt very strong.

Anyway after our 2.5 hours of WOT highway tuning we headed back home to refill the AUX inj tank. Then We decided to get some video of some WOT pulls for the forums.....

We ended up doing a 1st-2nd-3rd gear pull and I CRACKED MY FUCKING FRONT IRON !!

I actually laid off in 3rd gear at about 6000rpm and noticed a big cloud of blue smoke behind me pouring out my ass end......I glanced at my oil pressure and it was slowly lowering as I blipped the throttle. SO I cut the engine off and pulled into a parking lot that was very near.........HAD SMOKE coming out from under the hood SO I grabbed a fire extinguisher and THANK GOD no fire...just smoke. OIL WAS EVRYWHERE.......and after a quick scan of the engine bay HOPING that a turbo oil line popped off it hit like a brick and I thought to my self, "check the front iron"........sure as shit I saw the crack plain as day......



As the motor sits now.....OIL everywhere.......tried cleaning most up SHITTY!!



GOOD NEWS IS Kyle got some video of it being FAST before she broke....he will post it later tonight.


At this point I do not know what to do........I am undecided if I want to part the car out or sell it in whole. I have ZERO time for this now and really just want it gone right now. I need to sit and think for a while.......
