I was, but I wanted to get the car back on the road ASAP. The local NTB had these tires in stock and since I've been happy with them I just went for it.

Strapped down @ Cobb Tuning in Plano, TX. Put down 360whp/370wtq. I'll post the graph later this week when it's available on Cobb's online database.

Rumor has it this car now also has a hole in the block.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Holy fawk. What is it with the TX IX's blowing their shit up? I haven't heard of anyone in MN doing it?

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

It was making pretty good power assuming that was stock turbo on pump. Pump gas seems more prone to inconsistency relative to E-fuel.

He's been complaining a lot recently of excessive knock. The car probably needed a retune badly so who knows what went wrong.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

It was. The above charts are with my incomplete speed density tune that I never finished before getting T-boned. I'd say it was ~90% complete. We cleaned it up a bit more after that dyno session and it was pulling great. Then just recently he blew off some IC pipes and ever since then the car's been running poorly for him (which I never got to experience or check the tune).

Dear friends,

If your KnockCEL goes off under WOT, please let your foot off the gas.

Regards,

your melting pistons and abused rings


Sad day if this is indeed true.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Exactly what I was thinking. So does this dude have any plans then? Stock replacement? Built motor? etc?

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Got a semi-confusing update from him today, but here's what I was told:

The block itself is fine, but the timing belt snapped and there is a hole in the oil pan.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Along with the implication that they are somehow related.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

The magic smoke needs to get out somehow, the oil pan isn't as thick as the block.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

New update...the story seems to be changing daily.

Nothin a little JB Weld can't fix.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

:(

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Poor gheyrod, if I would have been able to buy it this wouldn't have happened. :(

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Yep, the magic smoke is gone.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

How did he do this anyways? did he change out some parts or something? He been running a mix of 87+hangover piss or what? lol

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

kracka suggested that it was tuned up here and wasn't properly retuned for their fuel. If there's one place that I'd never cut a corner, it's on the tune.
