I'm acutally out of Camp Pen. in CA..

Eh.. I manage, military dosen't pay to much, but all I own is my car and my dog. Being single helps.

 

Hope you get it all sorted under warrenty, thanks for the service

 

Thanks for supporting

 

no prob, lil brother recently joined the Navy. Just pull the mods before you send her in- stating the obvious of course.

 

It should have had plenty of fuel still given the X's overly rich stock air fuel ratios and your mods. If your oil pump gear has seized I'm betting that was what caused the problem.

 

Oil pump def. sounds like it could be the culprit. No oil=lots of metal on metal.

BTW im on Speicher in Tikrit, where u heading?

TO THE SANDBOX!!!

 

Was there any abnormal sounds prior to this failure? Rod knock, ticking, whining, oil pressure light, anything?

 

Got first dibs on parts...PM with prices???

 

There really aren't any parts to give. I'm going to replace the broken parts with new parts.
sounded like a snap and a crunch then bang.

Nope. Done 2 pumps to that hole. Now its off to Afghan. one day it'll stop lol.

 

cought this post late but i ran similar mods plus more on 27 psi for almost a year with no tune and never once had an issue
but it depends not every car is the same

 

dang. sorry to hear about your car. I hope everything works out with you under warranty. If not, this guys is selling an engine:

I can't say that the older 4g63 engine has never been witness to such destruction, but i can say this, a tune would have maybe prevented this, although, the damage is more towards the bottom, so detonation doesn't seem to have been the culprit. Failed and such would have result in the bottom half being blown out, but would this have been such a problem on the 4g63? With the mild mods you have, would a failing of a bearing result in the bottom half of the block going bye bye?

These pictures don't ease my tensions that the new 4b11, although stout, is still not quite the brute that the 4g63 is, but I don't care, Mitsu doesn't currently make a EVO X that is worth buying my opinion. I wish so badly that the RS would come back to the states, even if the RS is without the AYC. I can't stand wheel spin, in any form.

Sorry for you loss, and in terms of loss, this is nothing by comparison to what you might be exposed to when your deployed. Like you said, your still alive. That's what i said when the sandwich plate on my S2000 seperated at 140+mph, which lead to oil spilling on the headers, and the entire right side braking system. Do you know what it is like to apply the brakes at 140+ plus, have the cabin fill completely with smoke, and have the ride side braking system soaked with oil? Well I learned quickly that the grass, or the median, can plan a good role in stopping a vehicle.

 

From a former Marine, good luck over there and make it back safely. 1/1 B Co. 1st Platoon

 

sucks about your car , come back safe

 

Sorry to hear about that man. Hope everything works out for you. I know you said you don't want to deal with it now, but if you want to take it to the dealer, I have the stock parts you need in Milwaukee. If you need any help with anything, there are a bunch of us in the area. Just PM me.

Thanks for defending our country and our freedom to drive and mod these awesome machines.
