dude! HAHAHA, no just kidding. That sux. I have run the Zex dry kit a ton
1 Q for ya. Since the Zex is supposed to be jetted 55,65,75.... how did you (or your friend) jet it to a 50 shot? <br>

i was reading all your i love nitrous posts. then seeing this post.
sucks, but it was bound to happen.
and i agree with hybridcav ( i think that is his name/ too lazy to page back) 100%
good luck <br>
Yes...it does suck LoL
I have 40 different ideas floating through my mind. Buy a new car, build the fire? Pull my motor, fix it to stock stuff? Buy new stock motor? Build a bullitproof 2.2?
Ahh...the humanity <br>
you should pull the bad cylinder and check for damage. you might only need to replace the piston and rings if the bore is OK. <br>

you just got the 2.2 ohv right, i dont know what your plan is to fixing it but im try so sell a 02 2.2ohv 3164 miles on it for 375 obo but if not whatever
I dont think he should by a 98-02 motor for his 1996 car. The timing on the motors are different, which tells me that the PCMs have different programs. <br>
275hp & 306tq - 1999 2.2 ohv
13.2 @ 108 mph
-1996 2.4 liter + Turbo + Built motor + Torco + More boost = Lots o' Power
-2000 Mustang GT + 2004 Cobra motor, Whipple 2.3 supercharger,
built rear-end,Dodge Viper spec T56 6 speed, bolt-ons = wheelies at the track!!!!!
I feel your pain, I blew my motor on a 75 shot from a zex dry kit. I had a 2.4 though....but I know how u feel, sorry to hear that
Yeah, well....im gonna pull the head and see whats up. If I can get away with putting in a new piston, ring, and bearings I will. I hope to god the block is okay. IF so, ill do that and then put the nitrous in my room. Ill probably sell it and buy a NX kit for the "new motor" that im gonna build. Thats if this motor is fine.
Otherwise im buying a brand new stinken car (or new used
) and drive it while a build nice version of Adlers race motor. BUT, nitrous is what im doing....I know jack about turbos...and obviously about nitrous to LoL
Thought about the 2.4 swap...and really, i dont think its worth it. I was beating 2.4's before I blew up (n/a). Plus I already have ALL this stuff for my 2.2...if i got a 2.4, id have to try and sell most of it...which I couldnt. So, im building this ole 2.2.
IF i had smarts id try and do the 3.8 supercharger swap...but look at the problems the "smart ppl" are having. Eh
Im not sure if this new motor will be fast n/a. Probably gonna bore .20 with 9:1 compression, forged pistons, rods, maybe cyro crank, all clevite bearings, all arp bolts, si valves and valve guides, lifters and pushrods, headwork w/ 1.6 rockers, ported Intake and TB. Basically the same thing i have now but with stronger internals and some breathing mods. Should wake it up. Then run a 75 shot on top of that (WET).
BTW, if anyone is debating on gettin the centerforce DF Clutch. DONT!! This mother was slipping pretty bad with the 50 shot. Has about 7k on it to.
comments are still welcomed <br>
what kind of fuel was u using in ur car and did u run some injector cleaner through ur car plz tell me u were using 91+ or 93+ octane in ur ride when this happened. <br>
<img src="http://ourworld.cs.com/FireNv3/eco1.jpg">
Yes...Ive stated everything I had. READ and you will know.
ANd thanks JimmyZ LoL
<br>
red red red....... I feel very sad and bad at the same time.
Sorry about the your engine woes...
I did my best to warn you about (lean is evil), when in doubt don't spray, use good fuel, etc...
Just curious, did you have the vacuum line from the brain box to the FPR clamped on the FPR? I had mine pop off once at the FPR. Scared the absolute chit out of me when I raised the hood after a short test shot. Hose unhooked at the FPR means no high(er) fuel pressure with a dry Zex kit, and a deadly lean condition.
Good luck with the rebuild.
<br>
Just your basic 2nd gen

OK maybe not.....It's done now, but going under the knife for more.
Amazingly enough a Quad 4 fits rather well in a 2nd gen
Everything is hooked up
Maybe fuel pump wasnt pushing enough. It DOES have 147k miles on it. eh
Anybody wanna Buy a ZEX kit? Brand new 10ft Line and Brand new NOS brand psi gauge on bottle. Brand new brackets (not even here yet, ordered em though) 325 dollars...has full bottle to. Cant ship it with juice but I CAN give it to ya if your in TX.
The TPS crap is ripped out and it runs on a Microswitch (like NX) with relay.
anyways...yeah, its a sad sad day in Gainesville TX
Anyone wanna give me an idea of what all im gonna need (if the block is messed, otherwise a new piston, ring, and bearing are going in til the race motor is built) for my race motor? I say race cuz its not gonna be everyday driver and it will have a 75 shot of nitrous on it.
Pistons- Venoilia? JE? what compression? .20-.30 overbore? eh
Rods- Eagle?
main bearings- clevite?
cam bearings- clevite?
rod bearings- clevite?
oil pump-melling?
lifters-?
pushrods-?
rockers- comp cam 1.6 rollers
Valves- SI?
Valve guides- SI?
possibly a cam?
I basically want forged pistons and rods that can handle detonation well. I want headwork and ported IM/TB. I have almost every bolt on...now its time for internals....
anybody have Part numbers ?
Ive found a few lists but most are for the 2200
I have 95-97 2.2 <br>
is it possible that since you changed the way that the NMU runs (micro switch instead of TPS wire), that it affected the way it reads and regualates the fuel and Juice? <br>

I tried to ignore it...who knows

Mike is a pretty good guy, and they have good internals too. <br>
