yup lol.. now the sleeve melted before nitrous, maybe a bad tune caused it or too much boost or power for stock component?

DaGreat1

the nitrous isnt wat caused it to melt, 1 of the injectors fail...and its just melted...yes my motor was built....thats y im ____ed, but its all good, these time im gonna due a few extra things...i was running, 15/16 pounds and then i was putting on a 50 shot of nitrous but he didnt even get to spray the nitrous before the ____ blew....so i know it wasnt the nitrous that cause it

brett561tc

didnt you have a goldenegale sleeved block?

jasonrs2

i think the guy tuning the car is full of crap. i wouldnt doubt he sprayed the nitrous and blew it. what injectors where you using?

unxpectederror

yeah i would make sure that its actually the injectors fault and not the tuner trying to cover his butt

Nick06tC

Sucks to hear it man.

Whether it was the tuners fault or not, most dyno/tuner places have rules that state all work is done at your own risk.

Hope it all works out for you. Get that beast up and runnig!!

Wow, I thought a sleeve was supposed to make it bullet proof. That's pretty scary that an injector can fail and do that much damage. Sorry to here this, that would be the breaking point for me.

Mightygnu

yea me too. I would do some research because it could be your tuners fault.

malloynx

how nice..... i'm willing to bet that "tuner" is lying. injectors just don't fail(well crappy ones can) and they usually fail open.

here is another thing. if the injector totally locked up, this means no fuel, no fuel no fire,, your cylinder turns into an air pump.

your tuner should be watching the AFR'S on the dyno at all times, as soon as it started going lean, get out of it.

i would ask for my injectors back and send them off to be flow tested....

it wasnt my tunners, fault and i did do research on it...but i know this guy for over 2 years now, i trust him, we became good friends over the last 2 years....i dont think he hes gonna bull____ me now, plus the nitrous tank is completely full, and part of the manifold crack...that was due to heat, i dont think...nitrous is going to make things hot, lol..and when i get the pictures up u can see....if u look at the 4 piston....the 4th one is clean, there is no fuel in there at all...compared to the other 3 because it went lean...im pretty sure it was the injector

Mightygnu

Still you think he would of let off if he saw it was leaning out. Thats just my .02 cents
