People love me! Borrowing a friends car and someone breaks into it and my girlfriends car and steals the cd players!

 

ah so thats what they stole. didnt think ppl broke into ppls car anymore. sorry to hear man.

 

It comes in threes.
1. blown motor
2. friends car broken into
3. girlfriends car broken into


That's three. You're safe now.

Sorry to hear about your luck man.

 

holy crap...

 

Just found a puddle of oil and metal chunks in the upper intake plenum

 

Up there!?

Er, anything identifiable? perhaps the pcv valve innards?

 

I'll post a picture of my oil pan

 

Wow. Damn son, talking about going all out. You went ALL OUT.

It sucks right now, so just make it through this. It gets better when you realize the possibilities that are open to you now.

But a year from now when some n00b says "I blew my motor, it's smoking out the left tailpipe." You can post up pics of your plenum and say "did you blow bits of piston ring to the farthest corners of every part of your motor? No? Then stfu." Everyone will see the pics and cringe... kinda like one of those "best battle scar stories at the bar" type thing where a guy shows up that only has one leg, and he lost it saving a handicapped child and puppy from a burning building. You win, every time.

 

hopefullly that metal isnt in your oil pan. if so, your turbo and entire motor is wiped.

 

pics? sorry to hear man, i still say get a dd

 

I will have pictures soon. I hope the turbo is still good. But there's thousands of pieces of metal in the oil pan. A snap ring, pieces or ring. It's bad. So I'm getting a factory motor or lsx swap.

 

LSX!!!!

 

LSX (Truck IRON motor block) unless you want another blown built motor.

 

6.0 LQ9. Only a little bit heavier, definitely cheaper, and.... when you decide you want boost again, that iron block will hold all the ***** you can throw at it! lol

Here's a friend of mine that's local that dropped one in his Sedan.

It's torn back down now for a turbo.

Don't be fooled though. These things are still quirky. He's had plenty of "troubleshooting" along the way.

 

l9h with a whipple and ls9 cam/valve springs ;D.

 

i would do the LQ9 if you plan to stay NA, but if you plan to boost do the LQ4

LQ9 comes with high compression, the LQ4 has lower compression better suited for boost

 

any stock block build would be good for most people on here. people push 600+ on the lq9's. and if you bump up to the l9h out of the newer ones those are holding 700. and can make them with a simple blower at like 10-12lbs

(been researching it thoroughly i recently picked up a new silverado with the l9h in it and ive been wanting to swap the cam and springs out and throw a blower on it and have a sleeper ;D)

 

turbo will be wiped as well. that metal is in everything that needed oil. AS long as its was a journal bearing, it is cheap to rebuild.

A LS swap will cost you around 10k as well and it definitely not straight forward yet.

 

+1

people are suggesting something that veteran builders have yet to perfect to a guy that said he won't even swap out his stock block for another stock block (direct replacement). I guess people don't listen.

I'd rather have a boosted stock block than screw with all the trouble members are having with doing the swaps. Every single thread with a "swap kit" has turned out to be a nightmare for the person and they spent months of work trying to get it working properly. So far it seems only a few people that are shop owners or have a fabrication shop access have full working lsx swaps.

 

I'm buying a daily tomorrow or Friday. Sold my wheels. I know a lsx swap isn't cheap nor easy. But I have know where near enough to build a vq and keep the turbo kit. I'm not gonna just put another turbo kit on stock block. Nor do I want to just keep a stock motor in it and look at my turbo kit in the room. I'm thinking I can take my time on a lsx swap and get done within a month or so and have a daily a lsx 350z
