You guys totally fail my test. I wanted to see if you guys knew I was joking, obviously you didn't. You guys need to pay attention better!
Dan, sorry to hear about your motor, but **** happens as I'm sure you know. No sense in being all sad about it, I wasn't when I blew mine up and that was 7 months ago today. Either way it sucks, but its a machine, and machines break. I'm sure Dan will have this thing back together and it will be the badest redline ever.
Once again before you guys start being all bitchy and "flaming" (which flaming only works on people who care, so I'm immune), I was joking. I've always given Dan a hard time about his stuff. Lighten up people

Weather you guys believe me or not is not my concern. I made my point (about that I was joking) thats all I can do. If you want to hate my guts forever than so be it, I won't try to stop you.

You do know your a dueche bag and nobody likes you right. I swear your like this kid behind me in my class right now talking about how fast his camry is and how he's gonna put a turbo on it and beat everything. Your an idiot, your car is slow and keep your derogatory comments to yourself. If anyone needs a half assed blower porting we'll pm you otherwise stfu and leave people that are trying new and better things to better the community, like me and dan, the hell alone.
arent you the retard that though his 241 whp on a mustang dyno plus some retarded tuner math ment you had like 340 hp or something retarded like that, and with a 2.7 pulley and 42 lbs. you sir are the idiot.
I agree it was a time thing and would happened either way. But since were giving pros and shout outs. If anyone ever needs a may to make there low numbers seem higher, or a terrible tune, or the advice on how to build an ecotec wrong, or my favorite, how to apparently have a complete beast, yet still run in the 14's at sea level, well be sure to call you!
As for your self professed and i quote. "people that are trying new and better things to better the community, like me and dan, the hell alone" why dont you take your own advice and stfu? no one needed to see you come in the thread and talk smack, your shotty at best reputation proceeds your jags, so just let it be.

LOL your joking right?
It blew up cause the rod bearing failed...that can happen reguardless of its mode of aspiration. It was most likely something we f'ed up when reassembling it.
Rods are forged from factory so there was no real reason to change em out...tho if I do it again ill do aftermarket forged rods just because most likely.
Once again turbo is not the reason for this failure...quit being a s/c fanboi. IIRC your motor is STILL in pieces.
Also my stock internals were fine on both blower AND turbo AND in mint shape when I removed them from the block...I rebuilt the motor cause my timing chain tensioner was never extended from the factory and I was in there anyway so just forge it.

While AJ was defending Dan about blown's comments (that made no indication that he was joking), you attacking AJ for no apparent reason has made you look like the retarded one here. Congrats!

could have been a bad install or trash on the rod bearings after the re install of the pistons, or if you didnt put the right bearing back on the right journal it can fail. either way it sucks that it blew!

too...much...drama...must click the red x on the top right...losing...brain cells.
**** happens. sucks ass, but it does. Sorry your motor blew; i'd be pretty pissed off about it, blocks aren't cheap--I hope you have better luck next time.
I hope to see a Dan's New Build thread in the future.

alot of aj's comments were very uncalled for, all i did was meerly flip the coin back onto him. Im not out to start anything, but he argued his credentials, which are lacking.

I put in the post. I can't ever remember doing anything negative to you, but I CAN remember posting about my blower porting, and your feeble attempt to flame me, however it seems like theres always one guy who hates me for no reason. I guess I burned all my bridges, and shot myself in the foot. So a HIGHLY respected member of the COBALT community such as yourself finally decided to step in and put me out of my missery. Am I pretty close to the current situation? I guess I should go home with my tail between my legs, after getting PWNED by the great AlphaJaguar. However if you guys (the majority of the community) don't like me anymore and don't want me around, please vote in my thread. I wouldn't want to be a burden to the community, after all I'm not doing any "new and better things to better the community"... like getting custom rods made thus generating a part number for a new after market rod, or getting custom pistons making part numbers for new aftermarket pistons, or testing out a new clutch, but none of that stuff counts right?

This little fuckup was nothing more than incorrect torque spec on two rod cap bolts. The only Pittsburgh engine rebuild I wasn't around for and the only one with catastrophic failure. Coincidence?
He's gonna kill me for that.

I'm fairly certain this car is capable of bigger numbers. Dan has doubts on engine management but I personally don't think its an issue.

it is capable of large retarded numbers. the quest on the road for supreme lsj hp is always going to be paved with mishaps and destruction of something.
