***ATLTSX New set-up for 2010*** PG+K

[ATLTSX]

Well 99% of you don't know but a couple of months ago my engine blew. When i was on the way to cali for eibach it was detonating alot since out west all the have is 90 octane and it was tuned on 93. I feel that was the start of the downfall. After I got back from cali i decided that i was going to go turbo. Pushing 400 on a stock motor with it being somewhat damaged didn't help the situation. 0 compression in Cylinder 2 :( . So I decided to build the bottom end. :) .

New Setup:

Manley Pistons
Manely Rods
Golden Eagle Sleeved Block
1000cc injectors
GT30R .82

Thanks to Mainstream again :goodjob: . I also want to thank Camp1320 and Showstoppers USA out of Cali.

Unfortunately the Turbo was stolen / lost by UPS so we are going through all the claims and shit right now. So lame.

Mainstream can give updates as this progresses.

Updates on page 3....

It's tilted. Isn't that the cool thing to do? haha . I was in Nashville on the Interstate and hit a dip and it must have only his on one side. It will be fixed once everything is taken apart. I figured it would be brought up lol.

[ATLTSX]

umm...... no?

I sold my SC to some dude in Cali and when he got it he said the blower was missing out of the package. I've had the worst luck lol. I'm starting to think the dude is BSing.

I sold my SC to some dude in Cali and when he got it he said the blower was missing out of the package. I've had the worst luck lol. I'm starting to think the dude is BSing.I generally take a photo of everything I put in a box right before it's sealed up...obviously anyone can say something was still not put in there but at you know yourself.

I keep hearing more and more about this happening and the seller will always be the one to get fucked. It's getting to a point where a notarized checklist of all contents and number of items is needed just to protect yourself. This is exactly why I let the UPS store package my own things, it cost a lot more for me to ship that way but they note the exact content and number of items so there is no question.

[claybird]

damn this shit is awesome gl hey I take it ur tsx is a clone right?

[carbongs]

[ATLTSX]

Nice Ben! That cars gonna make some good power. Did you sell the EG?


Yeah. I went out and to start it one day and the battery was dead. I asked myself do I really need it. So I ended up parting it out. That was one of the funniest cars i've ever hard. I hope with the new setup it will be just the same :).

Sorry for the bad spelling. i'm drunk.

[teh_mugen18]

Thanks for the comments. I look forward to getting it back soon!

BUMP for you man, this thread is awesome.. Too bad the engine blew due to bad gas, maybe would you think about running two different tunes possibly, one on 93 and then one on a lower octane so it wouldn't happen again?

all you have to do is have a wideband and watch it and this will never happen, that would be the best option. you're under boost and the a/f climbs you let out, motor is saved:2cents:

the tune doesnt matter unless you're under boost, very very hard to kill a motor even running at 13.0 just driving around...but 13.0 under boost and you go boom:no:

cant wait to see it all with the new setup and #'s:cheers:

[ATLTSX]

Yeah I saw you pass me. Yeah your buddy said you shattered your arm or something like that. I love the new setup. Mainstream did a damn good job again. The new turbo will be in this week (Precision 6262). Then it will be back at mainstream to change a few more things in the engine bay and to put on the new turbo.

:goodjob:

EDIT: It's only tuned on wastegate so I didn't have to pay for a full new tune.

[boosted_nonv]

heck yea now its time for the 800whp mark:boobies:

[Ol' Gregg]

Damn I miss ya Ben! Pho in 2 weeks?
