I wanna know what kinda numbers this thing is going to pull. I'm still throwing back if I want turbo or supercharge on my k24. Once I find out what you are pullin that should make it easier and then I can have the block sent to ERL
Well all is not good on the home front. Power numbers were 265 whp and 214 torque. But there are some problems. It may have kissed a valve on the dyno, got to get a leakdown test done and depending on what that shows the head may have to come back off.
FUCK
Sorry to hear this.........G/L
wish you all the best! hopefully every thing's ok

I really didn't expect a huge HP increase with this build, but I sure as hell didn't expect to loose power. We'll see what happens.
O good Lord... this is not good news at all.... Mike Im leaving tomorrow back to CALI maybe you will get better luck with me out of the State....
I will be back in July hopefully its nothing too serious sorry to hear about the bad news
Just got off the phone with my mechanic. He did a compression test and a leakdown test and it doesn't look good.
Compression test was
1. 125
2. 155
3. 155
4. 155
Leakdown was
1. 50%
2. 25%
3. 25%
4. 25%
Something got in the motor. Not sure what, not sure where it came from, but there is scoring to the walls on cylinder 1. The head looks okay though.
Has anyone seen my watch?......OH, there it is........
Can you just pull the one pistion and rehone the cyclinder with the motor in the car?
Thats what I'm hoping for. If its just that and new rings on the piston then I'm good. If its much more than that I don't know what I'm going to do.Has anyone seen my watch?......OH, there it is........

You don't think it is anything ERL did do you?????
No I don't.
Our best guess right now is that the motor injested a small piece of metal and it got into cylinder 1. The only thing we can think of is that the spark plug electrode that did my last motor in got spit out into the supercharger and got hung up in there somewhere. That is pure guesswork though.
dude, my heart just dropped. that absolutely sucks! I'd be squawlin like a girl...
Man theres not a more sick feeling than when something goes wrong on a fresh build..all ya can do is keep on goin. Bring it back stronger than ever!
Just got back from checking the car out. Its definitely not going to be an easy fix.
One of the new pistons is fucked. Piston to wall contact. It actually welded one side of the piston all together so you can hardly tell that there is supposed to be multiple rings at that spot. That same bore is going to have to be bored out which of course means that all four will have to be bored out and that of course means four new pistons. There was definitely piston to valve contact on cylinder 1 so that means 4 new valves for that cylinder, and maybe more.
The head does appear to be undamaged, so that at least is good news. I don't know why there was valve to piston contact on only one cylinder though. That makes me concerned that we had valve float. I've had the Eibach valve springs in for a while so I think I'm going to replace those as well.
Oh lord!!! This sucks goats ass to the fullest.
