What not to do when your RB25DET gets rebuilt!!!

Fair enough, info noted

Still though, i would be suspicious if me newly built engine blew up with forged internals without even revving over 5000rpm. As much as a computer could stuff things up, didnt you notice it detonating?

Needless to say the computer i took out got stomped on and pieces broken off everywhere.

LOL you teach it,sorry to hear about the motor.

hmm after just ripping down my 25 not that long ago that screams fuel pump/system to me.

I was driving my car around for about 3 years with a autronic SMC getting experiance tuning the thing (read: screwing with the fuel/ignition maps ) finding out what works what didn't etc without a a/f ratio meter (yes yes i know exactly how stupid it was and it did end up costing me a engine) and my stock pistons didn't even look that bad.

So while a badly tuned ecu can kill a engine i think that looks alot more like a major lack of fuel not just a little to much timing (what most jap chips have) for it to kill forged pistons like that without any real abuse.

Sorry to hear your misfortune I know the feeling you get when you see that smoke in the rear view

What brand of forged pistons are ('were') they?
