6th motor in my car is now running.

[blu808]

so at thunderhill on jan 15th i blew up my 5th motor. I got the 6th one in and running yesterday.

YAY...

[bobafett]

good job? heheh

i need to see some video of your car man! wheres the vids

[ThatGuy]

How long should we expect this Engine to last?

By the way MOTORS and ENGINES are different. Most cars have Engines that spin the driveshaft(s). :D

[Andrew Bohan]

damn, then what do those crazy brits have in their motorcars?

[Ian]

just wondering, but how can you afford 6 motors? lol...i'm fearing the fact that my oil feed hole is badly stripped, and that helicoiling it might not work out and i might have to get a new short block at the least...


how much do you usually pay for your motor?

[wootwoot]

Im more wondering what the hell has them going up so routinely

[CoasTek240]

Im more wondering what the hell has them going up so routinely
beating the hell out of it, and pushing it while driving more often than most do.

[blu808]

bobafett: me too. I could only find one video from thunderhill.

ThatGuy: I dunno. Hopfully all the way through one event this time.

i'm driftaholic: Hi Andrew :kiss:

mainevent212: I cant really afford one motor, between my rent, bills, evo burning down, food etc, i end up staying home allmost every night not doing anything because i dont have money. Luckly my motor supplier feels the motors blowing up was his fault and has sent me a new motor ever time.

wootwoot: im trying to figure that out as well. I think it may be my luck, as you know i have shitty luck, especially when an astronaut, laser, and cops are involved. I think a rev limiter, would also help.

[Andrew Bohan]

hi luke :ughug:

do you want your old sig back?

[sr240mike]

Are you working on blowing up Ka's too? Whats with the craigslist posting?
"I have a 1990 S13 Silvia shell. It is a usdm 240sx hatchback, that is currently registered, and was a perfectly driving car. The cars stock ka motor went bad. I decided to pull the motor out, and get another ka from atarko motors, after swapping the new motor in, the motor went bad in 5 mins. I do not feel like doing another stupid ka swap."

[blu808]

Hi Andrew :kiss: No im ok off of the old sig. thanks anyway.

Im not working on blowing up ka motors, it just happens.
I only have 4 ka's under my belt though.

[ThatGuy]

Andrew, Luke, please stop post whoring with all these "Hi's" in almost every thread you both post in. Being friendly is great, but post whoring is just gay.

[Andrew Bohan]

hi barry :keke:

[blu808]

dammit. Ok no problem.
Sorry. It was just funny.

can i say hi to var at least ?

[ThatGuy]

As long as your post says more then just "Hi (whoever)" it's not a problem. But to create a post just to say Hi and up your post count is unacceptable. Thanks. :bow:

[blu808]

no problem. I will make my post usefull.

[Var]

Hi Luke :rawk:

Get an accusump system for this one. It may be the missing link.

[Ian]

or maybe if you just build the motor...which i know is out of the question right now since you said you're broke


i figure maybe the motors just need a little reinforcement

[blu808]

hi var. :kiss: i think i just need a rev limiter and a oil pan.

I have 2 motors to build. I just dont have the time.
We will see how this one holds on the 21st.

[RSP13-Sideways]

It'll hold captain....

[VIPdrifter]

6 motors - rofl

[Andrew Bohan]

hi luke. http://www.ncda.net/forums/images/smilies/dance3.gif
is one of those motors the one you were gonna sell me? :spank:

[blu808]

Hi andrew :cj:
The motor i was going to sell you had just been dissasembled. It had not blown. I was going to build it with better parts, but ran out of moola.

[Drunk Bastard]

Luke, you need to stop blowing up so many damn motors! :smash:

[blu808]

Hi joe. :kiss:

I know. I am getting tired of all these sr swaps. Hey at least i can do a sr swap in under an hour now. lol

[Drunk Bastard]

hi luke

under an hour is pretty quick

[Ian]

i wish you lived near me...i need someone to help me pull my motor out and put it back in...the oil feed hole is stripped so i need to be fixing that...hopefully helicoil and threadlocker will work

[blu808]

jb weld.the heli coil in so there wont be any leaks.

[RBS14]

Hi Luke. :wavey:

How many engines have you blown between all the cars you've had?

6 SR's
4 KA's
1 VG
1 3SGTE
? B16's

hahah the list goes on and on. You're a nutcase.

[blu808]

I really dont remember at this point lol.


Anyways. I need to stop that shit.

[Heartwork]

why are you so proud of blowing up motors?

[Andrew Bohan]

Mainevent212:

"i'm fearing the fact that my oil feed hole is badly stripped, and that helicoiling it might not work out and i might have to get a new short block at the least..."

TIG an aluminum AN4 (or 6 depending on feed line) weld on fitting to the block. You should be able to get it clean enough and it will last forever.

[Ian]

i already have taka oil lines, so i'm not gonna mess w/ it further...plus i have no means to do that right now...my best bet is JB welding the helicoil in like blu808 said and i'm gonna put the taka lines in
