Really? I did not know they could run that much since the blocks are made of aluminum. I think it was AMS (atlantic motorsports) who had a evo mr9 running at 50psi stock internals but blew it up by adding a 100shot of nos i believe. I think it was phunkinstein who told me about it.
Yeah the block can handle 29psi according to DTM. The guys that tune my friends Evo X. He doesn't like to run that high because it's at the limit of the block. He runs 24psi all day though.

You can't just pick and peel parts off of a car that is going to be written off. Chances are its probably already sitting in a tow lot with no owner access to it unless otherwise instructed by the insurance company.

I dont smoke, we can probably just switch the **** out and I can still have them take it away. I fired the car up today, it starts right up, didnt keep it on though, I dont even think I have a radiator anymore.

Dude just buy the car back and sell whatever you can here. You'll probably get very close to what you paid for already. And on top of that I have a junkyard connection.. whatever you have left over my buddy can buy from you. It's a win-win situation.
