Snowflake, because she's always beeping at me when I back out of anywhere, CELs, breaking down, etc. She's a real snowflake, so fitting.

Pull the spare and backseats and you're in the 12's. 1.90 seems high for 60' was this a prepped track?

Well I feel I am talking to a wall but all is good now. Scoped cylinders, all good. Fixed wastegate vacuum nipple (bored the hole to 1/2" and screwed in a male 6AN to 5/16" SAE nipple, it was a very snug fit and didn't seem to leak but I did put JB weld high psi type around it in addition just...

Next challenge, I want to rule out bad gas, I bought a bi directional scanner but it didn't have the fuel pump option. Is there any other way to turn the pump on to drain the tank?

Good to know. I hadn't even considered them. Thanks.

Fair enough. I only spoke to what I had first hand experience with. Off topic but curious, any evidence downpipes do anything? I did them on my 2.7l and it was a 0 change.

Not knowing your goals, let's assume HP and speed. Intercooler and tune as many have done will get you to the low 12's in the 1/4. So for ~$2100 you get about 100HP boost. For another $3100 you can get Nostrum's stage 1 HPFP and injectors. That will get you ~150hp on 93 or ~200HP on E85...

I broke this nipple off. And even better I dropped it below when I removed it from the clip. Anyone have any experience fixing a nipple like this? Or what the FoMoCo part number is for this charge pipe? Thanks.

I'll be scoping each cylinder, especially #5 where the original plug disintegrated.

Ya which sucks because I am already on my second set of injectors. First set failed 8 months ago. But I'll do my due diligence before jumping to any conclusions.

I have not but I will be turning to this thread for the consensus of tests I should do to rule out what's wrong. Plug, coil, injector, or something worse.

Of course. Misfire 3 5 6. I suppose there's a chance there's an issue with number 3 plug. But either way something bigger is wrong if I'm buying plugs every other week. I'll update this weekend when I tear it apart.

Well I drove 2.5 hours away on a trip and same thing happening, misfire city. Changed 5 of the plugs (all but #3), all looked good and didnt change the outcome. I stopped after I slipped and broke a vacuum nipple off the charge pipe. So waiting on a very expensive tow home to rip it apart...

Number 5 is easy to get to, which was the plug in discussion. Maybe I'll scope it this week if enough people get on this thread and pressures me lol. Don't want too jynx my fortune though.

I have driven about 3 hours today after repair and no issues. Car gods have blessed me. It is the Woodward DreamCruise today here in Detroit so maybe I had someone watching out for my motor in spirit form.

I would feel it for sure if a turbo was off. They spin at ridiculous rates. They would implode if off even a little. I really think I just got lucky as hell.

Cylinder walls and piston head almost certainly is not good lol. I didn't put my scope in because I want to will it to be OK. Didn't even put my magnet down there to pull scrap. But Holy hell it's back to my 500hp beast I'm used to and I'm so happy. Lotto ticket? This is hitting the lotto...

My only reasoning is I was off boost and it went out the exhaust. If that hit a impeller it would have grenaded for sure.

My ST has been running pretty crappy for a couple weeks. Misfiring under anything over 50% acceleration. But overall running fine under normal driving conditions. I've been telling myself that it's probably just a bad batch of E85. Three fill ups later, still behaving that way. Getting...

Exactly what I wanted. You're a beast ty.
