Finally got back to school sunday night, yesterday after class I had my friend tow me down the road to the autoshop with his durango and some rope, and we pulled the motor. Took about 3hrs to get the motor out, pretty easy. then we started tearing down the motor. Today we ripped the head off and the rest of the motor parts. the bottom end is going to be made into a coffee table with a glass top, the head has some bent valves but im going to fix it and sell it.

Today I put a deposit on a motor with 22k mi on it, and an alternator, waterpump and timing belt 5k mi old. The forged rods are not on the market until Jan 1st so I will be pulling the motor in January and doing rods and a 6 puck clutch. I'm also switching to 580cc injectors and a vr6 obd1 throttle body.

Anyways heres the pics of the carnage











My new ice thats how i roll

 

jesus christ.. i never saw that much damage... i thought you just effed up your head.. damn!!!!

 

Wow man that sucks a$$, looks like alot of stuff all decided to go at once.... Did you end up having to sell your wheels?? or did you get away with putting **** on a card?? Hope all works out for the best

 

I'm trying to sell the wheels, i need to they are on ebay but still no bites

 

Holy hell you blew the whole side off of the block!

 

I have yet to hear the story as to how this happend...story time mr ritt.

 

ah, long story short, I spent all day and night working on the welding and everything to swap from the gt28rs to the t3/t04e, at around 530am, i decided to drive to my room to get my computer and begin tuning, i did a 3rd gear pull thinking that at 10psi it wouldnt blow, around 5000 the thing took off like insane, i was actually scared. at 10psi it would have murdered my gt28rs, then a split second later boom, and i knew exactly what happened. SO i coasted into my parking spot walked to my room and went to bed. So close but yet so far

 

That's hardcore... makes me cringe. You showed that motor who's boss...
err... or did it show you... yeah who knows. That's wild though, for sure!

I like the bling, very pimp!
And the pic of the motor with IC and piping was trick. Very cool. Hope it's moving under it's own power again soon!

 

Tom, Once you finally get that beast together again what PSI will you be running it at?

 

not sure, 10psi was pretty wild while it lasted. I'll prolly run 18 daily, 22 when I want some fun, and 28-30 on race gas
