RE: T3 Tragedy
That really sux dude....The t-28 is the way to go if you have the funds. At least this way you can build a motor that is all performance. [8D] You need to post pictures of it being done and a finished product.

[quote]What the hell is water injection? If i dont know about it, i probably dont need it.
WHAT!!?? David, you blew your engine because there was nothing in the chamber to cool it. You probably, normally run it slightly too rich to cool off the chamber. If I had the equipment to monitor air/fuel mixture and EGT, I'd lean mine out as much as possible until it loses power. Using gasoline to cool your combustion chamber is plain stupid even though everyone does it. With water injection you don't need premiun gasoline. In fact regular gasoline with water injection will eliminate preignition way way better than 102 octane fuel.
Water injection cleans out the combustion chamber too. I use about 20% alchohol 80% distilled water.

RE: T3 Tragedy
Dude your fu*kin stupid. dont tell me why i blew my engine,][sm=shutup.gif] thats the job of my datalogger. i blew my engine because of a combination of a failed fuel pump and a fuel computer that was telling my engine that there was fuel. I put more faith in this program than i do in your websites and a whole of a lot more than i place in you.
BTW how fast does your car run? Could it beat a 12.59? Untill then, dont tell me how to run my engine. and im not putting water in with my fuel. I dont care what your websires say. im running to much boost and to much compression.

Let's see......Your engine is in pieces. It'll do a 1/4 mile in about 30 minutes. Less if your wife helps you push.
Your data logger and I agree. Heat killed your engine. There's more than one way to cool it down. I'm just suggesting one very good way of doing that.
