wow, that is one destroyed piston, I have some at the shop that top it though 
That was caused by extremely high cylinder temps. Either you took too much fuel out or ran it with too much fuel and not enough timing. Awesome.
Well at least you have the volvo :tup:
Haha, no, he sold the volvo awhile ago.
bingo :smash2: Basicly, im just retarded. but the car was hella fast before it blew up :bloated:
pic from top?
nice work, 
but what im getting at is why did anyone take out the knock sensor just to replace the head? if i recall correctly the knock sensor on my 90 tsi was on the back of the block and hella hard to get at.
the knock sensor was âscrewedâ into the block, and the wire is about 6 inches long, and thats it. The wire gets loomed onto the intake manifold, and im guessing when hybris put the head on, they forgot to re connect that wire. im not trying to blame anyone, but it still sucks my balls.
ask and you will recive
i see. for some reason i thought you were talking about it being unscrewed from the block. like, literally taken out of the block. removed from the blockâŚi guess is the central theme of what im trying to get at here.
now I see what you mean. I asume it has a top coating? lol
HOLY FUCKER! damn dude thats shitty :tdown:
wouldnt having the knock sensor unpluged give you a CEL?
suprisingly enough no.
of oil :biglaugh: and too much gasâŚ
Slotalons car??? That was connected, he gave us a newer one to put in after the head swap. Someone owned that afterwords im not sure what they did with the car but i can tell you this too.
The EGR was eliminated from that car so you would have had hotter cylinder temps. The fact that the ecu subtracts fuel to count for the addition of inert exhaust gas meant that you would not have had to subtract more fuel as it was already done by the ecuâŚwith EGR eliminated that factor was pretty much already there. High cylinder temps and SAFC subtracting fuel = melted pistonsâŚa wideband o2 or EGT would have helped prevent this. lol 
thanks for the info. has inn tune gotten their 2nd set of rollers yet? im gonna leave the tuning to people who know what their doing this timeâŚ
and yes, this is slotalonâs old car, I bought it from Jtalon. I wonder why he would have cut that wireâŚ
the car had been running PIG rich when i first bought it. it was SUCKING down fuel, and had a good bit of black smoke when on the throttle and inbetween shifts. i had to pull fuel when i first bought it because it was breaking up over 3500, that got me home to rochester. hopefully ill have a bit of better luck with my new motor.
