What were the two pumps used in the Buschur Racing Double Pumper? I've seen quite a few people lately use one Aeromotive 340 and one Walboro 255 plus the Hobb switch. I wonder if this is why..

 

Are you going to have the rest of the pistons checked for damage? I would think that they would have some of the damage that ultimately caused the failure. Magnafluxing would possibly show the cracking. I also have a ticking sound on my engine now that I believe is a wrist pin failing and have stopped driving the car in the mean time.

 

Sorry to hear about this Tom. You will love the 2.4 thou,
BTW what gear where u in when you did that final pull?

 

Walbro 255 HP Mustang pumps - same ones it came with (GSS340)

Ya i've seen that. I don't know to much about the Aeromotive pump though. To be honest, i would probably swap in a 400lph~ e85 compatible Walbro before i went to the Aeromotive.

I'm gonna get the pumps tested, ill post the results for you guys.

Ya i can send the pistons out to get inspected. same with the rods. Dont be dumb like me and try to drive it! lol.

I think this engine seen one to many 9K rpm pulls by me. i was very abusive to this engine now that i think about it. the rev limiter is set to 8500RPM in the rom and i hit that daily. thats way to high RPM for a stroker to be seeing on a daily basis.

Ya im pretty sure im going to do a 2.4LR with the 156mm turbo tuff's and a wiseco HD long rod piston with minimal .225" wall tool steel pins. hopefully they have some 10.5:1 on the shelf already so i don't have to wait 4 weeks.

I was in either 3rd or 4th. I think 3rd at around 7000RPM it died. I have the log of it. it never went lean on the last pull.

 

Damn Tom, sorry to hear about the motor, Good luck with the new build though! While the motor is out you can pull that p/s hard line out finally!! haha...

 

He needs to pull the firewall carpet also and ditch the ABS It can be ditched for under $150 bucks with used lancer master cylinder and new oem RS brake lines.

 

Haha true, that's probably a good 20 lb drop right there.

 

I'll be keeping an eye on this, I'm looking at doing the same build next year.

 

I can certainly relate to this aspect, my friend.

 

hell yea man !

 

Here is my off the self ross wrist pin failure. 600+ft tq for over 4k. These pistons are rated for 800 hp I was lucky enough to hear it and think it was a spun bearing after a pull and limped it home about 30 miles. found this when taking it apart.

 

^^^^ WOW talk about being lucky here

 

Things like that are why the heavy as hell strong parts are what I want. I know it is worse for the bearings but it won't be a catastrophic failure and if you aren't revving super high the bearings will last a long time. The heavy aftermarket stuff is the same weight as stock and they last a long time.

 

I don't think that's going to happen lol. i really don't want to play with power steering lines.

that's not going to happen either. im keeping the firewall carpet. the abs i could remove, but if its a pain in the *** then i wont do that either. when it comes to that kind of stuff i am stubborn.


ill get pics of everything i do hopefully. sometimes i get lazy and lose motivation to document it though.

absolutely. have you ever confirmed what those shavings came from?

wow that is crazy. I think that's exactly what happened to me, except i was to stupid to stay out of boost after hearing it. i guess when things happen i just refuse to believe its bad and end up paying for it the hard way each time.

good save on that one.

I agree. the only thing oem i will use is the crank for now. i still trust the turbo tuff rods though. i should send the rod to manley to get it inspected though. i will give them a call.

 

I'm on the look out for a block now, I was trying to decide if I find one with a crank or go aftermarket. I guess if the stock crank is good enough for you, then its good enough for me.
