So last year, I supercharged my stock KA and had a blast with the stock motor and an AEM water meth kit: viewtopic.php?t=49060
However, earlier this year I had a problem with my water injection system, which was my own fault. I was cleaning the filter/screen in the nozzle, and when I screwed the two halves of the nozzle together, I apparently didn’t get them tight enough. The AEM nozzle uses a nylon washer to create the seal between the two halves of the nozzle, and if you don’t get them tight enough, most of the water meth sprays out the side of the nozzle, rather than into the intake pipe. After one quick full boost run, I knew I had broken ringlands when I took off at the next light.
Sure enough, a quick check of the intake piping and I could see everything was coated in oil (my PCV was re-circulated back into my intake at the time). Pulled the motor and tore it down to see I had 3 of 4 pistons with broken ringlands. KA-BOOM!
I had a spare motor in the garage, but decided to go ahead and build the bottom end and get the head decked and prepped for a Cometic. I dropped it off at Bell Motors in Louisville, KY to have the machine work done and bottom end assembled.
