Yes people. My engine is royally scrwed I presume. After picking up my first bottle from the dealer today I shot it all day. After I figure that my clutch couldnt really handle the 100 shot I stopped shooting it,. Then just about an hour ago my best friend still didnt see and he is complaining to me about how he really wants me to shoot it. So we go out on the highway and Im spraying and then Kaboom. Smoke poors out of the engine and Im guessing I fucked up the trans and blew my engine. I called acura roadide assistande and the lady said it goes to the dealer for free but to your house its more. I was only a mile away frommy house and she said it was gonna cost 95. We waited for an hour and the tow truck never showed. My dad came with a rope and he "towed " me home. Now I am about to cry because I realize I have to take everrything out of my car before it goes off to the dealer. My car had 12000 miles on it . Im going to sleep. Im so fucked. What should I do?
not sure if this was posted yet, but i did some recent reading on the nitrous/motor relationship. pretty much for a stock engine, and fuel, the highest one can go is 75 shot on a 4 cylinder without it going lean and melting anything. anything above that really needs to use race fuel, work on engine (i.e. basics, forged rods, pistons, compression, etc..). so this in mind, might be the reason you blew your motor, also its probly not best to spray all day long, especially when your motor is new to nitrous.
People, just think about your financial obligations. If you can give up 4 grand on a motor bc you needed to run second faster in the quarter or impress someone--fine. If you 'hope' nothing will ever happened and cant afford to even fix a potential problem-- dont get it. Someone, close this thread or start putting up those parts for sale. We all get the picture. Honda Corp will not cover you unless you pull a miguiver and they never take the motor for that $1000 inspection. Talk, but never let them see your problem mechanically.
i don't do this to impress anyone
i have worked for everything on my car
realize that this is a hobby...if you don't feel the hobby is worthwhile, thats fine, but your post really seems to be bashing people that do think it's worthwhile
Sucks man sorry to hear yah i dont think you are going to get out of this with Acura. Maybe now a K24 swap?
