I’m not sure you thought that statement through completely, although if you did I would like to hear your theory. 🙂 > [@Callout=TheKid](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/callout-thekid/37614/15): > > why do you always talk shit on others and what they do when you got nothing more then a rebuilt gsr …and lets not forget that you cant figure out how to work itbs…o and just wondering why you would wana put itbs…on your rebuilt gsr…its only like a stock type r…and all that gas will not hurt your rings… ITB’s on even a stock gsr can improve power, higher compression and more agressive cams just make the gains even more. Too much gas can and will (depending on duration) hurt several things. > [@TireRack.com Experiences.

What exactly do I do with my car that led to the build I did? > > Rich conditions will most definately wash out rings. Excessive fuel washing the oil film off the cylinder wall, which leads to lack of lubrication, which accelerates ring wear. In this particular case it appears to be install error, since it must’ve been running fine before you changed all that. Well put. In addition to the points already mentioned I would check to make sure your vacuum line to your FPR (fuel pressure regulator) is connected as well as check to make sure your map sensor is also properly installed. Having vacuum leaks at either one of those would cause your car to run richer than it should at all but WOT (wide open throttle).
