#218, "Blow motors & why ?"


          

As most of you guys already know im on my second turbo setup, and my second set of pistons (still stock).
Now the thing is im not really sure why i cracked pistons #2 + #4.
These were the conditions :

92 Octane pump gas
12psi boost w/ 12:1 fmu + hypertech 500hp fuel pump
stock injectors
bosch platinum quad electrode sparkplugs

One thing i recently learned is that an A/F guage that is hooked up to a stock o2 is no longer accurate after ~600F ...so even though when i was boosting 12psi and my guage red "rich" it might have been otherwise.


My initial response was : too much boost ! but then i learned that most of you guys are running 10-12psi.. next i thought the hot sparkplugs that i was running could have contributed, but i dunno how relevant that is.


Just wondering what other senerios exist, and what possible explainations exist for why i ended up w/ two cracked pistons.
