blew my 420A.

[1996dsm]

well i blew my motor just a few hrs. ago, i stomped on it in 1st gear and when i finally let off the gas it was shaking horribly. as it was also smoking, so i check it out and oil is everywhere; And then there it was a hole the size of a baseball . so on my way inside to think about what just happened i see my main bearings on the floor and a few feet back i see pieces of my block, and the whole bottom end of my rod. I got a spare motor, but it needs main bearings. so basically im looking for some advice.
Thanx

I know what you feel man ### I threw a rod on my old 95 n/a!. Good thing you got an extra block. How did you blow it up? I blew mine when I didn't knew shit about cars and didn't check the oil on it and stomped on it hard! I still have the rod it threw as a trophy!

Same exact thing happen to me. I just sold my rs for 300 dollars.

Buy a bycicle and build the motor you have sitting around and buy a hahns or a star turbo kit and put it all together. Thats if you want to go the 420a turbo route.

Build your spare, and install.

What exactly are you looking for advise about??

 

[1996dsm]

advice i was looking for was if i should just build the bottom end stock again? so i could drive my car again(soon). and my other option was Hahn rods and some other brand of piston. i didnt see that hahn had pistons, or i just didnt find them.

in other words should i do a quick stock build? or wait, save money, and make it right so i hopefully dont go through this again.

Well I suppose that would depend on your goals. If you are looking to eventually make 250+hp, build the bottom end now. If you are just going to do your basic 8psi turbo build, you can suffice with a OE rebuild, but with the cost of aftermarket pieces, I would just build the bottom end with forged rods and pistons.

Money and goals.

thanx locke i might as well do a built bottom end. any one know where i can get some good rods and pistons. any site suggestions.

 

[1996dsm]

well ive looked around and found a bottom end rebuild kit. Its from a website ModernPerformance.com, it comes with almost everything je pistons, eagle rods, oil pump and gasket, je piston rings, rod and main bearings all for about a grand. im gonna go with the 8.8:1 pistons and go ahead and boost my car. i wont have it for a while and it was my DD , so im gonna go ahead and purchase another vehicle that ive found which is a 04 srt-4 , hopefully i will be driving it home in bout 2 weeks, reason being is that im going out of town for 1-2 weeks.
But thanx to the few that replied.

howell automotive sells short blocks and long blocks and heads for the 420a. Heres the Link Mitsubishi Eclipse/Eagle Talon

420a's are pretty good once the bottom end is built, but I suggest you ditch it and get cha a 4G63 powered eclipse...
