 Click here for the full 1024x683 image. wiring harness to the MAF sensor melted, so the ecu assumed airflow had been cut off, and therefore didn't need to inject any fuel.

I suppose this could go here: That's the oil pan pickup for a subaru. Needless to say the bearings weren't doing so well.

on skylines the motor is long and the flywheel is pretty much in line with the feet. They have the front diff next to the motor with one axle going through the oil pan. Audi has not figured this out, instead opting for 70/30 weight distribution.

this happened to us last weekend: car ended up parked on this berm:   and we had video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHx2-pvqtfg Basically the extra load put on the upright from our ball joint extenders caused the upright to crack and the ball joint to come out, in the middle of a 120mph corner. Could have been a lot worse.

yeah for the 2k the msi parts cost I'd rather design and have them made myself. I can incorporate the right mounting for our stoptechs among some other things. I'd also do a set of custom control arms to go along with them.

Savington posted:Do you guys have any data showing JC's line through 9 to be faster than the generally accepted line through 9? That video shows him to be at least two carwidths to the inside, with a super, super early apex and super, super late throttle application to show for it. I'd be really amazed if it was actually faster his way. Not sure if that's where he meant to be driving or if it was really that early of an apex but the beginning of the video is the end of the fastest lap JC's ever done there in a car. here's another viewpoint from a different day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-q8R3Ay1NM&feature=player_embedded!

it's probably fine but if you really want to know do a leakdown and compression check. this really only happens to DI cars. The pcv system burns oily blow-by mist and on a non-di engine the fuel is injected right before the intake valves which keeps them pretty clean. This doesn't happen on a di motor so all the crap starts to accumulate in the intake system. A water/meth kit or a catch can would keep things cleaner.

here's the shortblock from our race car after sunday morning: and here's something we just pulled apart:  guy had the motor built, about 1000 miles later a cam gear broke and bent all the valves. The cam gears on a subaru are composite plastic so if you drop or crack one they can explode sometimes.

Savington posted:Well done. How much power, how many hours? Is that a stock crank? the last tune was 747whp/690lb-ft at 38psi and this happened just as boost came on in 5th gear. We stuck a rod through the side of the block last November and re-used the crank so that probably had something to do with it. 4 events and less than 30 laps on the rebuild. It's a BC, we also have some bent BC I-beam rods and a cracked cylinder wall.

a bad battery terminal connection could MAYBE cause a misfire, but to blow out a rod like that there was either massive detonation, a lubrication failure of some sort, or if it's a rebuilt engine improper assembly (loose rod bolt or something).

so I've been meaning to swap in a replacement compressor and then re-charge the system. is there a reason not to fill it with r290 when I do? except that it seems I need to find a place that actually has it and is willing to put it in.

that could actually be worse. the fact that the upper spring perch is wedged against the strut tower means that those long bolts aren't load bearing, and only see the forces generated by the damper, which are not as high or abrupt.
