Update: 30JAN2012 Well I talked to the shop today and was informed that my 2.3L shortblock was totally destroyed again. The Meth kit witch dump 5 gallon of boost juice in the engine hydro locked the engine. One rod snapped, one bent, and 2 of the cylinders were damaged. Also looks like the mechanic installed the large nozzle into the turbo after being instructed no to do that. So after 20G and 2 engines my final thought is F**K Meth!!!!!!!!! I don't recommend anyone ever uses it, I agree with everyone else there are to many things that can go wrong. The only thing that survived this time was the crank and ERL wont sell you a piece by piece kit so I have to buy a whole kit if I want a 2.3 or a 2.5L... I am sorry but the HELL with that, just say your money and go with Manley!!!!!!! If I could do it over again I would go 2.0-2.2 and call it a day.
OK so I thought that it is time for me to start a thread. I have a OB 2010 EVO X GSR with about 9,000 Miles on her. I am not sure how many people name their cars but mine is GaGa (A Long Story). So since most people like to run E85 I deiced a while back to go with Methanol, the closest E85 station in over an hour away. . Meth can be a cheap and safe route to make power as long as you take the necessary safety precautions, I learned that last year first hand. I will post all the pics and updates to the first page.
