Very bad times...!

Yeah so i was driving down the parkway and accelerating boost went high, meth must have failed.. End result a sweet tow truck ride to the local mitsu dealer to find out that the motor is completely done! very upsetting especially since i got the car back about 2 1/2 weeks ago from the same dealer.. They had to warrenty the trans, t-case, and rear diff.. so i think im beat now.. so how much for a 2.3?

aquamist.. but i think that the injector got clogged me an a mech friend at the dealer looked into it and it seems like some thing must have obstructed the flow.. but that doesnt matter now.. just really sucks.. never had a problem before and i have had the kit in since i hit 3000 on the odometer.. it blew up at 32000.. yeah i drive alot but still very bad times..

I'd like to stay away from meth but at the same time it is addicting.

Yeah, a 2.3 would be sweet, especially with more meth!


No, seriously, sorry to hear about the blown motor. All you can do now is build it back bigger and better...

You should be able to get a stroker kit down for around 4 or less depending on the internals and shop pricing.

Sorry to hear about your engine.

What's even more amazing is that your got the transmission, t-case, and rear diff replaced/repaired under warranty.


On a side note: I thought the aquamist had a low-flow safety?


Good luck.
