Blew Her Up

That sucks. Now forge the bottom end and boost it.

No boost....


Direct port nitrous?? Probably....

time for a build thread :thumb:

good luck to whatever you do man.

 

[nesqwick_05]

change your oil and cut the filter to see if there is any metal shavings man

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

Doing that during lunch.... Its amazing it still runs fine with no noise. But the gauges are throwing me off.

 

[Willis_98GT]

what do you mean throwing you off? like the oil pressure gauge is dancing or something?

 

[nesqwick_05]

get a different guage man, or see if u can borrow one, u might have just been seeing detonation and the guage be fuxored.... lack of fuel from tuning will do that on the fuel side... maybe u hit somthing that fcked up ur guage during the install...

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

yep its gone. Its knocking like crazy. Time for fun stuff....

 

[firstonraceday]

Matt were you data logging by chance when it blew?

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

no, but its not a tune issue. I will show plugs and everything when i get a chance to takeing it apart... It was possible the POS Alabama Cylinder Heads that I bought.... or the oil.


BTW Alabama Cylinder Head is the same as Patriot Performance....

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

may go with a 5.4 forged andmake killer power and mega torque. We will see. I will be getting another set of heads done, so these heads will probably go up for sale.

 

[nesqwick_05]

price on heads? pm me fool

 

[humjaba]

I'd be interested to see if anything flew up and damaged the heads...

After all the trouble he had with them I dont think you'd want them nes :dunno:

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

Ive told NES about the heads. The heads are fine as far as I know. And I will NOT sell something that I see causing a problem. The heads were definatly not the reason why my engine spun a bearing.

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

Pulled the oil out. And it is very reflective.... LOL


It also turns silver when i stir it around. Proably part of my bearings.

Wish I had changed the oil before i race it. But what the hell its part of racing and building cars. You have to have a few failures some time.


But for the track I think i am just going to go the aluminum 4.6.

What correction factor are you using? That's a big difference.

'


hes at 6000 feet....

14.2 at 98 to 12.92 at 107 at sea level I guess

Does seeem like a lot but it makes sense for being that high

Uhhh, no.

According the NHRA correction factors...

http://www.nhra.com/tech_specs/altitude.html

... a car that runs 14.2 @ 98 mph in Denver (5800 ft) would run:

13.3551 @ 103.51 mph at sea level if you use the Comp, S/C, S/G, or S/ST correction factor.

OR,

13.171 @ 105.65 mph at sea level if you use the Stock & Super Stock correction factor.

Those numbers are way out of whack.

I don't see where the extra couple tenths and couple MPH are coming from. I'm no genius, but I don't suck at math.

[MustangMatt96GT]

well the DA of the air was 7800 that day. So instead of putting in 5800 put in 7800...

 

[Paul]

You don't "put in" anything. That's the correction factor for Denver.

I don't think a 14 second run in Colorado equates to a 12 second run somewhere else.

What correction factor did you use?

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

I use modular depots correction program....
