Yeah i would be in for the intake or IC

 

glad your safe and sound. thats the important part

 

so what was the cause for the blown engine? just random, not enough oil, or something else...sucks to hear about your engine...

 

That sucks

 

Sorry to hear that news man that sucks. Pm me info on ur fmic kit.

 

Im pretty sure it was the tune i had..i dont think it was tuned properly.. i had a gauge and if i was really on it i would see 26 sometimes even 27 and my AFR would range from 9.7 to 10..im not sure if thats good or not?

 

i'm guessing youre out of warranty.. that's big $$$$$

 

Even if the AFR and the boost were in check, if the ignition timing was off enough to allow large amounts of knock it can blow an engine.

Detonation of the mix before the spark plugs ignite it is bad in gasoline reciprocating engines... very bad...

 

I imagine by 26 sometimes 27 that that is boost... and thats too much u prob blew it from over boostin. You should always make sure when u get a car tuned that the place has done ralliarts before. Tuning isnt the same for cars, its different between models and the same models even vary slightly like two 09 RA's get tuned by the same person you could have one that is a bit more powerful than the other with the same tune. FYI make sure ur tuner has tuned other cars like yours.

 

2008-2009 ra/evo x/ra sb have a recall on this issue i guess the dealership failed to let you know about this.

 

Had you been getting any Check Engine Lights before this happened, or did it just occur without any warning signs?

 

MY check engine light would always appear from time to time...but lately it has been always there

 

Who did your tune? Was it Hackish in Ottawa?

that sucks man... but if you got a tune in the summer... maybe you need to bring it back to stock in the winter? Air temps are very different...

 

Ya im pretty sure it was the cold becuase i can tell the car wasnt running when we started to below 0..ya he tuned my car

 

Send a PM to hackish and let him know what happened. I would ask him if a 2nd tune is needed for winter time to take into affect the drastic temp changes
