Help!!! Boosted my h23a3 and it's blowing blue smoke!!!

[evil_demon_01]

I know someone on this forum that had a Brand new stock F22A1 and broke a ringland in about 10,000kms. (Any before anyone jumps on the other wagon - It wasn't due to poor tuning)

Fact is: It happens - New or used, Young and dumb, or Old and Wise.
Or any combination of them.

OEM Honda F22Ax, H22Ax, H23Ax, pistons were not designed for turbo applications.

It's a reality; live with it or deal with it.

This coming from a person that DID run a stock block turbo successfully for a decent period of time, correct?

Granted ive seen loads of blown engines with the ringlands taken out from boost, nitrous.

I am about to start my engine build and I saw quite a few people said that they ran boost on a stock engine. Pretty much it boils down to whether or not someone can make educated decisions for the future of their car. Whether or not you want to spend all that money to have a car that will run well anywhere from a few hours to a few years. Or going forward and thinking about having (with forged internals) years and not having to wonder if your going to blow your motor while driving to work or picking up your lassie for dinner.

If people take time to research what they are doing and weigh out the pro's and con's well the answer becomes pretty clear. If they don't listen well then that is their choice and may need to reassess their decision making abilities. Who knows they may get lucky but as I have found out with my CB7 they tend to have good days and bad days. You expect one thing and well another happens. At least when you go the safe route instead of a possible fatal route you have the peace of mind that your car is running in a safer and more reliable.

A bit off topic and probably a bit late but just had to say it. Cars are like girlfriends, if you treat them right things stay fine. But if you force things on them they don't like then they will fuck your shit up.

I did the old carb setup when Jose and MRX were still around, It was years ago when there was much less info available!!

As for my old build, Well it was purely a project car, downtime didn't matter to me, and the parts were pratically free anyway
