218, Blow motors & why ? Posted by BoostnRS, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
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.
