did a few things this weekend





coming along, slowly but surely

You ever get a chance to use that bushing tool?

[CWO]

No sir. Motor blew up and focus changed a little bit.... ok a lot. I can bring it back to you, but I haven't used it yet.

It's all good just whenever, I've been in California for two weeks and completely forgot about it.

Nitrous? or Blown, usually don't see the piston top lift without some extra force being added. I've got some pistons that kinda match the damage you've got

I don't know what the previous owner(s) had on it, but there isn't any sign of nitrous anywhere on the car, but I suppose anything is possible.

I've been waiting on some updates on this...

I've never seen a motor chew up that many pistons that way. Weird. No nitrous?

Motor looks to be completely stock. No holes anywhere and nothing that looks like it may have been attached/detached. I know virtually nothing about nitrous, but wouldn't there be something left behind if that was the case? Other than broken pistons, that it.

n20?

Ls swap??

[Sean88gt]

Not if they replaced everything with OEM pieces. That sure looks like N2O damage.

It looks exactly like it did when I sold it. The only pieces that were different were the transmission, brake calipers, air intake tube, and wheels.

I'm not saying there wasn't ever nitrous on it, but I can't tell that there was any. Not that it really matters, new motor is at the machine shop right now.... and it's not an LSx. Woulda been cool, but not something I have the time to mess with these days, it's bad enough I have to borrow a car from a good friend while it's getting rebuilt. I couldn't imagine the headache of getting a LSx in there and dependable. Not gonna lie though, I did research it and compare it to the cost/time of a rebuild.
