I didn't do it.
Not to fret, I have a 70 340 in running condition, to replace this one.

This is what happends when you play with NOS and 4.56 gears kids, and don't have a rev limiter.

Do I even dare to ask how much Nitrous you pushed into the engine?? Damn, that motor just went "Boom" :icon_smile_dead:


BB1

Not me not me, I'm not that stupid.   :icon_smile_dead:

I bought the car that way, I knew about it. His description of the damage was easy fix just sleeve it.

That is why I got another 340, because I didn't trust it.

Ooh, sorry. I missed out on the "I didint do it" I just directly went for the pics...

You dont have any idea of how much Nitrous the former owner pushed into the engine to cause that?

Man, I've seen a rod or two looking like that...but never ALL of them! :o


That was probably his little brother with the smoked Neon clutch. :eyes:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Looking at those journals I would say it was loose BEFORE the finally. Is it a stick car??

Nope auto; I think the bearings failed, probably high RPMs, and it shook itself to destruction.

Ouch that had to hurt!!

Y'all are right, bottles are for babies. But when they loose to a car on the bottle who is cryin? :laugh:

I'm one of the non-nitrous types personally.  It's an incredible power adder but one nitrous explosion or fuel solenoid hanging up and you end up with a boat anchor.

BB1

I took 2 NOS solenoids (wet system?) off the fenders. They didn't look to me very new. Possibly 10 to 15 years old.

NOS is great if your making enough power that you need to cool your cylinders down..... :yesnod:

THE HELL??

this is why I hate nitrous on street cars.....

the only exception that I will take on the "N/A vs. others" issue is V8's with superchargers.
when racing deals fall apart.....you go home, like me.

Dang!  Lots of anti-Nitrous sentiment on the board????  How do you guys feel about forced induction?

I wouldn't say that I'm anti-nitrous as much as it's just not an ideal thing for me.  If I had nitrous, I'd use it.  A lot.  And hard.
I can't afford the consequences so it's best for me to just stay away from it.
Same with forced induction.  Now if I had a second car that I could let sit if it were broken and I still had a car to enjoy, I'd be all over either of things.
So for me, one toy means it has to be fairly moderate under the hood.
