Pulled the plugs and found this.
Compression tester adapter was the wrong size so still not sure if the engine is okay yet. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Hey looks like your piston kissed your spark plug. Drop the engine time.

Engine is just about ready to come out. Been working lots of overtime and my work space is limited at the moment so it may be a week or two before it actually comes out.
I'm waiting to see what failed and if I can determine why but I'm already debating if I want to build an engine, stay with a stock engine, or do a swap (LS anyone?). My preference would be an LS swap, but time and money may not let that happen just yet. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

LS swaps arent cheap or easy. Building an engine with your current setup will be cheaper after tune and parts. Figure 450-500hp to the wheels on this car is a mess.

I think it would be "cheaper" long term to do a proper LS swap than build an FA20, try to make power, and all the associated costs that come with that route.

LS swap should be relatively easy now anyways right? There's gotta be a half a dozen full swap kits out by now, no?

Problem is after getting a taste of nearly 400whp I want that all the time and probably a little more. And I've come to the conclusion there's no way I can expect even a built FA20 to hold up long enough at 500whp with my driving to justify the cost (I would be driving it daily). Not to mention how many transmissions I might break. So I'm either going to have to stay at low power with an FA20 or do a swap.
An LS swap would solve several issues at once for me: more power without a huge loss of reliability, stronger trans, easier to work on, and cheaper to replace if I blow it up (this is a big one because I might just do something stupid like seeing how much boost it will hold :P ). If I do an LS swap it won't be nearly as expensive as others since I would be doing the vast majority of the fabrication and labor myself. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

So far I'm looking at approximately 3 or 4 different scenarios.
1. Go back to a N/A FA20 and just work on destroying the curves (and probably buy a different car to do the stupid amounts of power thing with) 2. Low boost FA20 (300whp or so) and be happy I can keep up with modified N/A V6 cars 3. LS swap with A) lightly modified N/A V8 (probably a 5.3L) making reasonable power while being reliable B) 4.8L twin turbo with the goal of making an unreasonable amount of power (because I'm dumb like that) Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
