not sure if this was someone on this board...

was cruising today when i ran into some traffic. i downshifted a couple of times and found enough room to squeeze through. at this moment a 98 talon esi beside me gunned his motor and i heard a loud bang and blue smoke started pouring out of his exhaust. pulled over to see if i could give this guy a hand. turns out he had nos. looked at his car and could see oil everywhere! I looked closer and saw a hole the size of a tennis ball in his block!! If you are on this board I hope everything works out for you and it doensn't cost too much to replace that engine.:(

I work with the guy here in Calgary. His parents live in Edmonton. He's been waiting for a while to get the nitrous working, I guess it worked. This was the first thing we talked about Tuesday morning. He said #2 cylinger went. I kept telling him before this to just buy a turbo talon, but to no avail.

Ouch. did he even bother doing anything to his engine to "prep it" for NOS? I've seen guys kill motors nicely by attempting to run 100-150 shots on stock motors....

i blew my damn head gasket...


i feel your pain..... my cooling system was screwed up and the overflow tank blew open in speedvilles parking lot :confused: :D

I closed it and kept driving despite the smoke (opps) and the overflow blew up again later at night causing a ton o steam and shit ( I new I was replacing the motor at this time so I didn't care) oh ya rad fluid is a bitch to clean

Why can't people understand that you HAVE to prep your engine for punishment before adding retarded amounts of nitrous or boost ???:banghead:
