Just when I thought I'd have my car back....I find out I've got a fried piston and fried rings. So I guess its time to buy some low compression pistons, new rings, and a new head gasket. Im looking into CP pistons....anyone else have any suggestions? this f*cking sucks.

what happened? that sucks man. sorry to hear about that.

[gotti]

Im not sure exactly how it happened....but one of the shitty ass stock spark plugs broke...leaving a ceramic piece to go floating in the cylinder. This fCked up the piston I'm sure. How the rings fried I have no idea. This just sucks.

i told you that this is one of the downsides of boost. you gotta be able to get down and dirty with the car once in a while...... for the most part boost will cause minor problems here and there all the time

were you boosting in stock plugs??? How did it brake???

[gotti]

Awesome mex, thanks. Are those pistons any good and are they for a turbo application? Thanks !

[iamboo]

hmmm... i have one question for you homie... are you using denso's or ngk's??

my friend's distributor for nismo told me never to get denso's because they have been known to break under heavy load....

I dunno I still want to try the turbo specialty pistons. Inexpensive and a lot of DSM owners use them.

[Havok2k1]

I've seen plugs fall apart with detonation.... Just enough of a misfire and damage one... Plus I've seen holes in pistons from detonation as well....... Might be your culprit....
