Pulled the motor out of my friends turbo LS *pics*

Garages RULE.

And a Prybar kicks axle lovin' ass.

$9 at Home Depot. Go buy one. Seriously. Just don't let it slip and make you get stitches in your lip like my buddy did.

Does he know what happened to his cylinder yet? I bet he ran lean once and burned a hole in it.

Can that engine handle 14 psi on the stock internals? Did Acura put forged internals in the teg?

It was actually just the rings in that one cylinder. On the compression tester the 3 other cylinders were good, that one shows around 30.


His fuel system was all upgraded, and was adequate, but I'm pretty sure he caught the rev limiter a few times under full boost. <_<

it was the #3 cyl wasnt it?

That's why you use a $10 pipe wrench. Just wrap the sucker loosely around the axle between the transmission housing and the inner cup (it's just wide enough to fill the gap), then get out from under the car and kick the handle. No slipping, no stitches. Easy.

No way. First, the CV joint would explode before the splines twist. Second, if the splines do twist, they'll only twist outside of where they mate to the diff, allowing you to still remove the axle. Third, the car was slow as fuck so it couldn't have made enough power to twist 'em. The retard that owned it couldn't tune it to save his life. It wasn't any faster than my stock AllTrac.

 

[tedwright]

He ran a 13.9 I believe, after he fixed the boost leak, the day he blew it up. Not incredibly fast, no.

yea thats my car, so i guess im the big idiot. whoop de doo. the fuckin car wasn't going anywhere, and we didn't care as long as we could stop working on the damned thing. yea we were supposed to be able to use our friends huge construction garage with like 10k feet of space but he pussied out at the last minute, so we said fuck it lets get this ball rolling. i burned the pison rings up in cylinder three, i know i was going to blow it, i just didn't care, it gave me an excuse to tear apart the engine a little bit sooner, whoop de do, all good things come in time. and ji, i dont think i could ever have you work next to us, i could never afford your labor rates. peace.

If you think $45/ hr for wrench turning and $60/ hr for fabrication is expensive, go to a real shop and tell me my rates are high.

 

[Code Blue]

i wasn't arguing you i just dont believe in your methods. if i pay a shop 45 bucks an hour for wrench turning (which the rate around here is 40 an hour, and YES i know all the shops here suck) i want that shop to be liable for any damages they do. im not arguing i just dont agree with it. thats just my personal opinion tho.

Well, it's obvious you don't agree with my methods. My methods are by the book and the right way the first time. As for liability, who said I wouldn't be? Unlike some people, I take responsibility for my actions.
