| "[Exhaust Gas] Reversion is when hot exhaust gas gets pumped backwards into the engine during the overlap period, something that can happen if the turbo has excessive backpressure. Reversion can cause the engines internals to get excessively hot as cross flow of the cool intake charge during overlap is one of the ways an engine cools itself internally. Hot internal parts can trigger uncontrolled combustion and engine destroying detonation." -Mike Kojima, NissanPerformanceMag You said it yourself... the AFR's were great right? Rods don't come flying apart on a normal powerstroke. It takes obstruction or detonation, in this case, it cannot be excluded that doing this on stock manifolds was not a contributor to failure.
 
Daily driving a TT is like ordering your favorite pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner. It's not healthy and eventually you will lose the magic of the meal. Sometimes you just have to have some meatloaf. My new meatloaf.... 1994 Black Honda Civic DX :D what? It looks a little stumpy, but fits great in the hand! (n/m) - ZEngineer 12/12/06 |
