http://clubroadster.net/vb_forum/showthread.php?t=25634

This doesnt look too good. can i fix this? so i was wondering what would happen if i drilled the jets on my nitrous kit with out measuring and hoping for the best.

…i was way offff …lol.

motor is completely FUBAR’d and useless.

what was left of the piston is those two egged shapped objects on the floor…

GET AT ME CUUHH.

lol. already got a spare motor in and the car runnin’ thanks to a few local friends.

who wants to try this again…

LOL

That will hone out, and a little JB weld on the cyclinder walls, your good for another 250shot.

just rub some dirt on it

haaha yesss that is awesome.

Thread is full of win.

that is awesome… and yes do it again!!!

nitrous people looll

Nitrous FTL…?

if you didnt get enough detonation jump in laduke’s car, hes got enough for everybody.

Ouch …

Dont worry man, im sure youll have a potatoe piston of your own.

BTW I’d like to buy that wideband your getting for xmas as im sure you wont need it anymore.

Good one…

guy says

haha. “go big or go home!”

WAT?
thas not going “big”, thats just being stupid. if he’d have had cosworth properly build that motor for a 250 shot for him, THATS going big. idiots like this give miata drivers a bad name and make those cars seem like shit.

Harsh.

30psi pump gas, no big deal.

well, maybe, but come on. think about it. why would u go ahead and just do something that stupid with a HUGE “not sure” as the result? ive never had any experience with racing a car and adding nitrous to it and even I know thats not a good idea to do what he did. i flat out laugh at when people do this. when they inherit their grandmas accord or civic and try playing fast and the furious or “baller on a budget”. it just doesnt work. you cant just add 150% of the car’s native HP instantly and NOT expect a problem. only way he’s not an idiot is if he was doing it to blow that motor up, recorded it on video and stated such intent clearly.
