I personally wouldn't want or bet for it to happen to anyone either
I blame you.....:roflmao:
Save the
"I told ya so's"... Cuz the engine Melted a piston last night
Is that a record? 9 days....:baby:
F
Well, my wife is actually "o.k"
So far...but as soon as it come time to pay the bill...the fit will hit the shan...:shifan:
I'm not so sure it's sunk in yet, but in this month....it's a drop in the bucket and difficult even for me to fully process...everyone's happy (for the most part) and healthy, so really I/we can't and don't complain:thumb:
I'm alive and posting, so the world must still be turning, I don't want to get started on it and nobody wants to hear it, but without last nights catastrophe, it's been a really shitty month.
To top it off, I can't even say the piston gave out last night cuz I was screwin off, i had just merged onto the freeway, there was a constant and steady flow of traffic but it was moving well and I was able to make it clear to the carpool lane and settle off @ 65mph, about 30 seconds later, out of nowhere, I feel a little shake in the seat and it looks like spy hunter in my mirrors, full on smoke screen mode behind the truck....
:toilet_claw:
:dontknow:
:help:
No oil in the overflow or water in the oil...Tons of oil in the tailpipe....Towed er home and here I am...
So you can poke fun and beat me up, I expect it, and deserve it :angel:
.........
Now what.... should "I" attempt to pull my own engine, or should I take it somewhere....budget build or go for the gusto...try to build it myself.no....no...:spit:
Now I'm wondering who had the betting pool going of how long my engine would last...whoever won should consider donating to my new engine fund
:rofl:
Vendors:
Please PM me a quote or contact info, if you'd be interested in taking on building a me a solid foundation to make 850whp with- thanks- Jason
And let the journey continue....:hug:
. Next option would be you pull it and take the heads off and ship the short block to somebody reputable. There are other cheaper options but it all depends how hard you are going to run it and how much power you want to make.
I know you have your goals n all....but fwiw, cuz I just got mine on, I think you'd be pretty happy with the 72 on a stock bottom end...
IMHO
The vgt 72 FUGGIN RIPS!
It's working well with 60's on a stock pump and factory build, so far
I'm impressed with it, it's actually just enough to keep me satisfied at a point of not really wanting more (of course, I do...), the power this set up makes is hardly streetable on wet roads and requires the #2 tune to keep the wheels planted, where I live there's not allot of "open space" so there's rarely enough room to open it up all the way, anymore....
I can see wanting to build the engine, don't we all want to! Set up properly, I really feel like the vgt72 is versatile enough to meet the needs of someone looking to build up, and is "fun" enough to make the "waiting" for more, easier
JMO
Good luck with the sale:thumb:
That's whose tunes I was running when mine cracked a piston on the highway with the cruise on. :roflmao:
Sucks you blew it up before you got to beat on it or get any track times. Now its time to sell that shiny new vvt and get a real turbo on that truck!!! :hug:
And very true about the wife. They usually wont leave you or even act mad. They know it will be leverage for years to come.
Sorry to hear about your luck, that would make me sick! I would have someone take a good look at that tuning that's for sure...
That aside if you had the money i'd say take it to danville and let them do everything including a S483 over the 72
no windows anyways...
