RedLineS2k10

So we pulled the motor and tranny which was rather easy considering all the clearance we had in the motor bay of the s13. We take off the oil pan,blah blah blah and then the moment of truth comes to see how bad everything really was. And it wasnt the pistons rings...................To my friend and I, we were expecting to see some nasty piston rings that were just fried. It was actually the pistons. Chunks of the sections inbetween the piston rings were cracked all the way through and just fell out. My guess, bad injectors started the problem and then high boost was the icing on the cake.These arent in order btw...
The pistons..This was suppose to be the 2.4L but those look like f20c pistons and rods to me.

Just a look at the crankshaft? k24 crankshaft or f20c?

Here you can seee the hunks of pistons missing from around the rings


Isnt this just nice? the missing pieces of the pistons. Thank god those didnt come loose into the cylinder walls.

Gotta thank Brian for the blood (literally),sweat, and almost tears hes put into getting 'Satan' Running.

The white paint is me playing with having a white motor bay. I like the concept of having it white for seeing all leaks, etc, but also to match the outside. Yay nay?

here you can see where the s13's cross member was modified in order to fit the f20

Dont ask

Finally its out of the car.Thanks to CIVICEJ08 for the engine stand!!!
