 It's the third time a component on the engine fails. This time, it was the rod bolts...or whatever...the thingies in there that secure the rod to the piston. Wrist pins? I don't know it in English, LOL...anyway...I really wish the 7A-FE had the strength of that engine. It's a 4G93 (1.8 liter SOHC) that comes with 113 ponies and 115 of torque if I remember correctly. Anyway, all that power is ridiculous...I chew him out everytime I talk to him, LOL...but he likes it, hah. And what's funny is that at the track, all the other turbo Mirages sound like whiney 4 bagers they are, while this one sounds deep like an inline six...I can't explain why...everything about the engine is deep...even with the exhaust cut-out open all the way. -------------------- Past - 7A-FTE: Will never forget you
Present - 3rd Gen 3S-GTE: Swap in progress QUOTE (SinisterSinner @ Dec 19, 2009 - 10:52 AM)  I dont want to even think of turbos, they blow up way too often... |

well
we can definately say he was driving it hard enough that must have made for one hell of a bang edit: yes, the wrist pin is what connects the rod to the piston This post has been edited by 97sccelica: Jan 5, 2006 - 1:33 AM -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
