Turbo garages?

Well turns out the kid drove the car while it was over heated for a very very long time. Like an hour or two.

The temp gauge was stuck on High, and passed vertical.
The knock sensor was melted to the block.
The Coilpacks were melted to the spark plugs and the valve cover (coolest part of the engine, and it was hot enough still to melt that hard plastic).
The oil was cooked, and smelled like popcorn.
The head is warped
And cylinder walls are not looking good at the moment.

To me, if you see your temp gauge heating up, you don’t drive for over an hour still just because you have to run errands. Regardless of what the problem was, you just don’t do that, and he deserves what happened to him. Prime example of someone that shouldn’t own a car.

Agreed. You do that, and you own the results of your stupidity. What a waste of time, effort, and money.

I wonder what the other guy’s side is. Has he admitted it was his fault?

Yes, he did. Told Neil he drove it for an hour.

Honesty is always good. I hope he has learned from this.

Also, I don’t think he needed to tell Neil he drove it for an hour. It was sorta obvious by the damage done to the motor. Coilpacks don’t melt after 10 minutes of overheated driving. That was some serious serious heat going through there.

Hmmm. I do not know if you have found turbo’s yet but here are some stockers that you could use

and you would have a spare head so when you do build your engine you can port the fuck out of one

Word on the street is that he found turbo’s already.

CHARLES! WTF!?

Where are you man!? :slight_smile: Are you coming to the meet tomorrow? Is all that seperates us a blown turbo? Come back Charles…we loooooove you. :smiley:

(I’ll wear that skirt if I have to. ;))

LMAO

I had talked to him earlier in the week, he did buy the turbos and was waiting for them to arrive!!

I did tell him before that he could cruise with me if he wanted to!! I said my car is nowhere near his GTR, but still gets ya there!! a lot slower, but gets ya there!! lol

I’m still here, just started back at work also

Bought the turbos but its “golden week” in Japan so they cant ship them out till the 6th may, so if im lucky ill have the car back on the road the weekend after that 14th ish, if im lucky

And yes PyreXXX i love you a little less without my turbos

Why? Cause I can smoke your ass? (When your car isn’t running and mine is going downhill) :smiley:

Hope you get it fixed soon dude! We need to see you out at some meets! :slight_smile:
