1838, New motor for me ! Posted by BoostnRS, Feb-18-01 10:25 AM
Hey whats up everyone.. I posted earlier about how i threw a rod bearing due to running my motor @ high rpm on low oil..
Well anyway i got a short block warrantied by Mitsu (woohoo).. and i should have my ride sometime this week ! My question is .. u guys think its worth it for me to BOOST again ? a lot of shit has been happening to our blocks.. Plus its scarry now because i wont have warranty anymore after this one (im right about 60k)
Kinda lookin for some encouragement ! :-) Also im curious what is the longest amount of time that any of you have boosted on the stock motor ??
thanks, Martin

1839, Short block? Posted by DarkOne, Feb-18-01 03:49 PM
That's the block, internals, but no head or cams, right?
Dude, i would boost it for sure. Just take care of the basics... Make sure you can deliver the fuel it needs under boost, make sure you don't run too hot. Get some bigger injectors and an SAFC or a SFMU and write it off as a rebuilding expense!
You lucky guys with warranties.. I've never had one.. When i blow up my baby (and i will, damnit, i WILL!) it's all outta my pocket..
