After 7 weeks, we got the car back from Bullet Supercharging, after being diagnosed with a cracked piston.
0.20 oversized cast pistons, ACL bearings throughout, 4340 forged steel H beam conrods with 7/16 rod bolts, and refinished factory steel crank.
Had the extra strengthening done in...
Unfortunately cooked an engine (cracked piston), most probably due to running LPG for several years.
Engine is currently at Bullet Supercharging being torn apart, and inspected for a rebuild. The waiting game begins...
Generally speaking, an LPG specific head will have hardened valve seats.
This is the area in the head that can fail under the increased heat, generated by LPG.
FWIW
I had the dreaded alarm and ABS TRC etc. lights on for the past 2 weeks intermittently. :eek:
Long story short, after reading loads of others stories about ABS motor failures causing this error and running code 51, I figured this was the most appropriate place to start.
Removed...
I've had a PPD exhaust on my LX for over a year now.
Really impressed with the sound, no drone. Nice thumpy sound under load. Even the wifey was impressed and loves the sound.
Fitment was super easy too.
Hey willyroo, thanks for the welcome. Long time lurker, finally took some time to take a photo or 2. Been 2 years since bought and slowly transformed.
Paint code is 070 actually. Don't know what the difference is though. Yours looks to be the later model 06+
Just wish I had your tail lights...
