FROTOU 7Agte , PART 2, time to rebuild again ..... Options

[frotou]

Back in the month of september, I was running low boost (break-in period), with my new management system (autronic smc and cdi r500). At only 8 lbs of boost the car was running without any problem except for the underhood too high temperature cause of the manifold.



Then , in the month of october after two weeks without running, the car refuse to start and after 4 or 5 try with the starter ; crickkkkkkkk.



The engine has a major water ingestion after two rainy weeks (without running) and cause the no1 rod to broke. I'm gooing now to rebuild the engine with one 4agze new piston and a set of forged rods. I suspect the water was entering by the intercooler piping even with the huge t-clamp ! In the future i'll start the car every day and I'll cover my car in the rainy days .







Freshly resurfaced head ;




I plan to use 4agze piston, pauter rod , cometic mls head gasket, total seal rings and finally boost to 15-16 lbs . I'll keep you updated !

OK, the piston was damaged cause of the broken rod and I change it for security. Water ingestion in an engine kills automatically! The others pistons and rods are like new, I update to pauter because it's clearly the weakest point on the engine.

It is a supra in front of my car

I still continue with oem gze 8.0:1, for this year I can't wait for custom ones. I know they can take abuse.

Nerver had the chance to dynoed my car , this year will be the one !
