tristanlee85 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Click the images for super details. This was with 22psi+. The value is unknown as my MAP sensor can't read beyond that. The rod that is barely bent is #1. The one that is all messed up is #3, and the piston with only detention is #4. I'd say that's pretty good with only street tuning. The MegaSquirt sucks. http://www.plastikhosting.net/uploads/tristanlee85/engine_teardown_boost/00001.jpg http://www.plastikhosting.net/uploads/tristanlee85/engine_teardown_boost/00002.jpg http://www.plastikhosting.net/uploads/tristanlee85/engine_teardown_boost/00003.jpg http://www.plastikhosting.net/uploads/tristanlee85/engine_teardown_boost/00004.jpg http://www.plastikhosting.net/uploads/tristanlee85/engine_teardown_boost/00005.jpg http://www.plastikhosting.net/uploads/tristanlee85/engine_teardown_boost/00006.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankis Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I love seeing uncommon stuff like this, good luck with it! Btw, do you autocross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Pretty pimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristanlee85 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 No I don't. I am getting AMR coilovers and a 4-way adjustable rear sway bar soon though, but I don't see auto-crossing in my future. Maybe through my complex.

spankis Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Okay, I have a friend w/ an SVT Focus was beat out at an event by an SL2 and was soooooo pissed. I just wondered if it was you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristanlee85 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I know a lot of guys who do race and have good success with it, but it isn't my sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 So I have to ask, did you honestly think a stock rebuilt saturn engine (is that an ecotec btw?) could handle 22psi for any amount of time or did you already know you were going to build it and just said "fuck it, go out with a bang"? Props to you for doing something different though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmuckingham Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 the header looks nice, pretty cool build if i may say so. I would have made the plenum size larger just because you have room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tristanlee85 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Looks Good. When is it coming back on the dyno? Once I break it in and get a decent tune. I'm going to have to throw away my current tune since everything is changing so much, but I assure you we won't blow the pipe off this time. There's no piping to it. No Ecotec. It's the 1.9L LL0, and no I didn't think it would last. I did it for the hell of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
