Slightly old news if you follow the forums in the UK.
Some background. My girl and I have 2 Celicas. Both 6th generation. Hers is seriously lowered, running 17" wheels, significant ice, full Veilside kit, full respray in toyota green, custom interior and a 50 shot of nitrous. It is the sensible car of the pair. Hers is an ST, which is 7A-FE powered. Not the most powerful engine in the world. Hence the N20. Unfortunately, if your piston rings aren't quite 100%, and a BMW M3 tries it on, and you're slightly unhinged, you reach for the little red switch. And this happens.   Oh dear. Cost me a new engine. -------------------- JDM ST205

[right][snapback]322947[/snapback][/right] Well this car was putting something like 170bhp to the front wheels. On gas from a roll in 3rd gear it was pretty rapid. And that's coming from someone who has a 270bhp daily driver. -------------------- JDM ST205

I love all the nitrous hate. Everyone seems to jump on the "omg nitrous is the debil!!1" wagon and nobody asks what fuel management he was running...
So what did she have? Wet kit? Did you use WB AFRs to pick pills, or a boss injector maybe? Or was this a dry kit? -------------------- 1995 Celica ST - Riceball grocery getter. I saved her from Neons, 19" rims and TVs. All-stock save a weld-on muffler (does that count?) and V-AFC.

[right][snapback]323065[/snapback][/right] i dont like N20 but if done right with fuel compension hotter plugs and a wot sensor/trigger then your set there are alot of people that hook a line up and start pushing the NOS button your going to run into problems i'm not saying that happen here but that piston didnt blow up on its own there probable a lean condition and bam there you go by by motor This post has been edited by nik: Aug 11, 2005 - 2:56 PM -------------------- yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte

It was an expensive kit, and fitted correctly. We reckon it was just a flawed piston, and the extra was too much for it. The engine had done over 100,000 miles. -------------------- JDM ST205

If it did that on a 50 shot, that engine was **** to begin with. Or your girl just sprayed way too much.

it for sure was a flawed piston and that nitrous put a little too much pressure on it.
