How can you know what your options are without knowing the cause and the problem?
You need to figure out what went wrong before you narrow down your options. To think about what to do at this stage is not only premature, it's the absolute wrong way to go about solving your engine issue. -alex |

Two people with Delicious tunes on here who both seem to have had the same problem with the same supercharger kit at a reasonable boost level. For the kind of damage to have been done that you both describe, it leads me to believe there was something off on the tune - or that without an upgraded fuel pump (don't know if you have one or not) the engine wasn't getting enough. Plenty of people on this site are running 300+WHP every day on their stock bottom ends, and that Sprintex kit only makes 270HP max according to Sprintex which is a very safe # for that engine.
I asked before, but do you have an air/fuel gauge? Also did either of you have an oil cooler?

@Draco-REX Just curious. When the engine just shut off at the stop light did you try to restart it?

If you have a fixed budget or limited financial resources, why the rush to cast a wide net when you can accomplish the same when a preliminary diagnosis is returned? If you want to learn all there is to know about an engine, specifically this engine in your car, that's fine. But it's counter-productive to figure out a solution when you don't even know a cause. This is akin to you having a headache and you're trying to figure out what is wrong with your body and worrying about everything from a brain tumor to just a lack of sleep to something unknown, and you haven't even set foot in the doctor's office yet. Really, don't worry about solutions until you know what the cause is. Or spend your next few days fretting about it. up to you. -alex |

You should easily be able to identify if it is the cam plate (backside of the block on pass side and easily visible or if you threw somethin out of the valvecover. A quick peep and you c an rule them out.
I can't speak for the quality but Skunk2/Kraftwerks also offers forged internals for the FA20. Other and a few honda builds I don't think I've ever head of them being used. Manley performance also has a few offering but there catalogue hasn't been updated in a while. Quote:

The problem I see here Zach is that your tune seems to be a "one size fits all" approach, rather than tuning each car independently on a dyno which is how it should be done on EVERY car. When you treat every car as the same and give them all the same "out of the box tune", you're bound to have a few outlying cars that don't fit your algorithm. Thus why my car is being tuned independently by a Subaru master tuner on a dyno via a 6-8 hour long session. There aint no "one size fits all" approach for my ride - I wouldn't take the chance. Draco is in Ohio and Ryan86 is in South Africa, so I highly doubt that you tuned either of their cars on a dyno in person from California. Likewise Draco doesn't have the knowledge to read his own afr maps, he sent it to your company for review which means he has to take your word for it rather than being able to tell for himself if he was too rich or too lean. He also doesn't appear to have the knowledge to tell what went wrong with his car without consulting a mechanic, whereas I can pretty much rebuild this car in my sleep. It's easy to tell someone who doesn't know much about cars "nope it all looks good to me" as they're none the wiser. So Draco I'd love to see those records you said you sent in for review to Delicious - there are plenty of knowledgeable people on here who could tell you if the tune was the root of your problem. After all - the boost you were running is MORE than safe on this engine. Quote:
Don't forget that superchargers rob power from the engine to make power... so the same boost you use on a turbo car is not going to give you as much power with a supercharger. Likewise 12psi on a turbo with a 50 A/R vs a turbo with a 70 A/R is going to make a huge difference. We have no idea what the equivalent A/R is for his supercharger since it's not exactly built like a turbo. Quote:

The oil could be as simple as the Robispec oil cooler failing or a line coming loose. The result was the car ran low on oil till eventually damage occurred. Might have nothing to do with the forced induction or the tune.
