To make a long story short, I missed third gear with no rev limiter on my ecu and I fried my piston rings(or at least thats what appears to be the case).
For now, I'm accepting any ideas on what I should do. Personally, I want to take the quickest way out so that I can get it running A.S.A.P. Then again, I want to keep my setup, but just have solid internals in it this time around.
So, with that being said, does any one out there know what I should do??? My friend said I should get a compression check done before I just to any conclusion, and that's a given. But after that, what's next. Do I just replace the rings? Do I replace the pistons and the rings?? Do I replace the pistons, the rings, and the rods??? I'm working with a tight budget, but not tight enough where I wanna just ghetto rig it back together.
I hate to do this, but I'm willing to put out all my information out there, PRAYING and HOPING that IA will again come to my aid.
MY SETUP: (Brian, correcct ,me if I'm wrong)
*(keep in mind some guy in florida built all of this)
*SiR b16 (supposedly a b16b head)
*Short ram intake
*Crane cams (stage unknown)
*2 chipped ecu's neither have a rev limiter(one has a launch controller at 3.5k)
*DC Header
*Custom straight throught exhaust (no cat or resonator)
*(supposed piston upgrade)
YES.... I know this is a noob move to just blurb out my shit like this, but I don't care, I just need to know what should I DO!!!!! What kind of pistons would be good to go with it??? Also, If anyone knows of a good shop that will fix me up, holla!
+++++out of desperation, please help++++++
