Today i just finish washing my car and my rims, just about to go out to pick up my clear corner and to put my Stillen GTR lip on. I was in the highway doing about 70mph crusing and blasting my radio, all the sudden when i forward the gas the car wouldn't go no where, i down shift to 3rd gear and punch it, the car still didn't move. i turn my radio off and i hear some pink pink noise, than all the sudden there goes the white smoke coming out of my hood into the car and i got to a complete stop and i saw oil leaking to the floor. I was like "Fuck".

I was having problem with no power up top Rpm and mis-firing alot. This motor finally quit on me , i was expecting this will happen one day.

Hope my car will be running soon!!! i guess i cannot make it to the MOROSO in West palm beach FLorida on April 8. Sorry south florida people.

Let us know what you did (or should I say DID NOT) do to make this happen. SR20s just don't blow up from people cruising around. What happened to it? Why did it happen?

Ugh, what a horrible death. JDM motors have no emissions stuff on them right? I think Im going to be looking into a new motor too because I believe my engine has developed a rod knock. I havent had it checked out be a tech. yet, but everybody I've asked so far has agreed that the symptoms sound like it.

Question: How much would it cost to rebuild my current engine as compared to buying a new one? Would it be worth it or no? Im guessing no, but I want some oppinions. Thanks.

I bet it was the lower oil pan smashed up restricting oil suction...:cool:

I think i lean out my motor cause my Airfuel gauge is not touching the Rich side. i have no idea how did it blow up i was just driving normal speed. I do oil change every 3000 mile and i just change the sparkplug and wire and cap and rotor from the Dealership.

I do even gun the car the much cause it way running bad before it blow. My motor have 61,000 mile on it.

When i did my compression test, all 4 cylinder was bad. They told me i shock the shit out of my motor.

i think u should just get a new motor cause it will be cheaper than rebuilding it.
